(soft music) (waves roaring) - [Brian] 10. - [All] Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. I sailed around the world! - Can I get a kiss? - I love you. (cheering continues) - [Jordan] You might not
understand right now, but one day you'll understand your daddy
did a very cool thing today. - Circumnavigating the world by sailboat is actually something
I never set out to do. I was a pretty standard
guy living a decent, comfortable life in Seattle. I had my own software consulting company, a nice townhouse with
Pottery Barn furniture, a sweet 4Runner, a 22-foot Catalina I could sail on the lake, and even a Sea-Doo for blasting around. By all accounts, I was doing exactly what everyone thought I should be doing and had done for all my life. I studied hard, got into the
University of Washington, graduated with an electrical
engineering degree, and went directly to work at
Microsoft as a program manager in the Windows team. A few years later, some friends and I left Microsoft
to start our own company and I should have been a
complete and content person, but I wasn't. My life was divided into 5- minute chunks with just enough time in between
to run to the next meeting. In the mornings, I had this
feeling of dread in my gut before I opened up my laptop just knowing I would be barraged
with hundreds of emails. One day I realized that my
bus ride across the 520 bridge to and from my office was
actually the highlight of my day. I didn't even care about the traffic. It was my time to reflect,
to stare out the window when no one could ask me for anything. I decided this was no way
to live and felt a yearning to do something different,
something out of the ordinary. I fell in love with the
idea of giving it all up and setting out on a grand adventure. Just take some time off
to go out and explore, to get to know myself better
and follow my interests. So I sold everything I owned, bought Delos and had
enough money left over for 18 months of sailing, 18 whole months of time to reflect, to sleep in late, to explore new places, to
sail from island to island across the gigantic Pacific Ocean. My idea was to try and
make it to New Zealand, a far-flung, exotic land on
the other side of the planet. I would sit in the pub after my arrival, throw back a cold beer and
entertain whoever would listen of my tales from the high seas. And then what? Well, I'd certainly be ready
to get back to normal life. So I'd just sell Delos, hop on the next flight back
to the US and return to work as hopefully a more
interesting, happier person with a better view on what
really matters in my life. But is often the case,
plans can and do change. And here I find myself for 13 years and 70,000 nautical miles later
crossing an imaginary line in the ocean that I crossed
as a very different person so many years ago. (soft music) (water trickling) I'm happy to say that today's
video is sponsored by AG1 from Athletic Greens. It's been like over a year since I started drinking AG1 regularly, and I have to say it's
become a crucial part of my morning routine. The thing I really like about
it is it's quick and easy to prepare and just one scoop of AG1 has over 75 minerals, vitamins and whole foods source nutrients. Plus it's like replacing
nine health products all rolled into one. So since I've started drinking AG1, I've noticed increased and
consistent energy levels throughout the day. Oh, 213 and 214. It's my way of knowing that
I'm supporting my immune system and my gut with probiotics
all at the very same time. So just click the link

any other aboard Delos. We were on day two of our 250-mile sail from our last anchorage in Zihuatanejo towards Cuastecomates a cozy little beachside village on the Pacific coast of Mexico that lies just around
the corner from the point where I could officially say I'd start navigating planet Earth. The conditions and the vibe
on board were pretty calm with the exception, of course,
of our smallest crew member who is having the time of her life. - [Jordan] Wow, I wish
I could just bottle that and sell that. I'd be a millionaire.
- If I had that much energy, I would like, so amazing. - [Jordan] What's new
in the morning report? - Morning report? Not much. We have a lot of energy,
we have breakfast, playing hide and seek. That's pretty much it. - [Jordan] Were you guys
scootering a little bit. See your little Hello Kitty back. - Gotta accessories her scooter. (upbeat music) - [Jordan] Anything to add
to the morning report today? - Morning report? - [Jordan] Yeah. - Like the news? - [Jordan] What's happening?
- [Karin] Yeah, from the oceans - Around the ocean nothing's going on. There's no wind or motoring. Sierra's making me play music, see what she got next. - [Jordan] Yeah, make the people's dance. - [Brian] During my journey
of over 70,000 nautical miles, I've spent 536 days at sea. Over the years, the days have
looked a little bit different. For starters, the presence
of a dancing toddler during my morning watch
is a more recent addition to the mix. But Sierra isn't the only tiny cute thing we've had this crew. When we cast the lines off in
Seattle all those years ago, we were joined by our
furry companion, Mishka. It turns out that a long-haired Persian is not the ideal boat cat for the tropics, and we ended up flying her back to the US after our first season out. It turns out that Mishka was
one in a long line of crew that would call Delos home. 69 souls from 17 different countries have been a part of this
voyage over the years. All characters that have
defined many chapters of a living and breathing story. When I think back on the seasons, I'm less influenced by the locations, time of year or weather, but more by the collection
of humans that have made up my sailing family and
the whole floating world. First there was the West
coast crew that helped me to brave the sometimes furious
waters of the North Pacific. Then there is the Puddle Jump
crew taking us from Mexico to New Zealand. The New Zealand crew that changed the course
of my life forever, followed by this ragtag
bunch that got us to Fiji and then through the South Pacific hitting every backpacker
party along the way. Then Australia, the crossing
of the wicked Indian Ocean from Asia to Madagascar, our
incredible South African loop, the Atlantic Ocean crossing to Brazil. The girl crew that took us
safely from Mexico to Panama, and our friends that returned to get us through the Panama Canal, and finally up the West coast to Mexico. Today our crew consists
of myself, my wife, my Swedish princess,
the mother of my child, and by far the most incredible person I have ever met, Karin. Our tiny captain in the making and little nugget of sunshine herself, the cuddle extraordinaire,
my daughter daughter, Sierra and our kooky and quirky little surfer, an amazing Amiga Jordan whom we met sailing the Caribbean a few years ago. She joined our little family in Panama to help us sail Delos to
Mexico a few months ago, who just so happened
to be busy down below, making a few preparations
for the occasion of the day. - We are officially finishing Brian's circumnavigation today. We're gonna do a little bit more of like a formal kind of celebration as we go into the marina, but we are gonna cross the
line in this afternoon. So we wanted to do like
one little small thing before we get in, and so we
have the idea to make a t-shirt. So that's what I'm up to right now. So we're just gonna do it
with the little sharpie, ghetto Delos style and then
just got a few more hours to go and we're gonna be there. It's gonna be pretty crazy moment. Here we go. It's not exactly perfect, but I think it has just the
right amount of Delos charm. (bright music) - [Jordan] Whoa. - Boy. - [Jordan] You know what? - I don't know what, I only like sail. - [Jordan] What's going on? Explain logistically
what's going on right now? - All right, well, we're approaching the most southern points that I sailed to in Mexico many, many, many, many,
many, many, many moons ago. So technically ahead of us there's like an imaginary
line where I cross my track, which signifies making it back to like something about
sailing around the world. And I don't even know what to say. - [Jordan] Not something about sailing. Not something about, it is
sailing around the world. - [Karin] We're sailing around the world. - [Jordan] Which is amazing, amazing. - [Karin] In like what? Five miles, five miles? - Yeah, five miles. - Are you proud of yourself? - I don't know, I guess. - I'm proud of you. It's pretty a big thing.
- [Jordan] Brian's too bashful, so I think you should say some nice things about it because he's not gonna say it himself. - Brian is the strongest, most hardworking person I know. I'm so incredibly proud of
him to have accomplished this huge milestone. I mean to have sailed
around the whole globe, how cool is that? For this lap around the world, he has been a fantastic captain. Not just sharing this
adventure with 69 crew, but also making sure everyone
is safe and at the same time, fixing all the millions
of things that have broken along the way. He trusts people, take them under his wing and inspires others to take
the leap into the unknown. He has inspired me to believe in myself and push for those unforgettable moments that you only really get
when you try something new that is out of your comfort zone. So much have happened over
the last 13 years on Delos and it's hard to sum it all up into words. He is the love of my life
and the best person I know, and I'm so happy to be able to share this special moment together. (upbeat music) Do you feel like it's crazy, do you just feel like kind
of, when is your birthday, you wake up and you're like, I don't know if it's my birthday? - Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I have a lot of emotions, I just don't know what they mean. Like I've experienced
so much and you know, I've like literally seen and
experienced more than any event has a right to I think. And now we are arriving back to like where I left Mexico from. - [Jordan] Yeah. - Haven't really processed it yet. Ahoy Delos tribe. To celebrate my circumnavigation, we asked you to get creative
and send us some designs over social media and
boy did you come through. It was a super tough decision, but we finally narrowed it
down to two classic designs, both inspired by a retro
world tour concept. We loved them both so much, we decided to release two
special edition shirts to celebrate the occasion. A huge shout-out to
Hester from South Africa for designing our retro world tour shirt, which features the route Delos sailed, along with some pretty
sweet and memorable stats of the trip. The Retro World tour is
available in both men's and women's sizes and colors. A huge shout shout-out
to Patrick from the USA for designing our pirate world tour shirt, which features Delos encircled
by the memorable stats of the trip with our route underneath in true pirate fashion. The Pirate Tour is available in both men's and women's sizing in pirate blue. Both designs are available
right now in our shop, so grab yourself a sweet
shirt and support our project at the same time. Just head on over to svdelos.com/worldtour and grab yours today. Thanks for your support. (upbeat music) - [Karin] I love using these ones. It looks like a pee bucket. - [Jordan] It really does. - So that's white wine and lime LaCroix. And then we're gonna put
some frozen blueberries in there, some cucumber and lime, and then some rambutan
just for decoration. I think there's gonna be a little sweat mixed with these drinks as well. Here we go. This is a part of every
professional bartender's toolkit. Yogurt jar with a kitchen spoon. And we have a little cup
with just silly coins here. - Yeah, here we go. You wanna take these out? Go give them to daddy. We're celebrating daddy. I don't know what to sing. ♪ Takes me away from my where I want ♪ - [Jordan] What, she
just had a little wabble. - Okay, we have a hat for you. - Okay, hat. - And you can't put down the drink. - Hovering the hat now. - Yeah. - Oh, thank you. - And then we have this lovely T-shirt that Jordan skirted together. - I sailed around the entire world and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. (laughing) That's amazing, should I put it on? - Yes.
- [Jordan] Yeah. Nice to have a fresh shirt after sweating all day long anyways. - Oh God, that shirt is so disgusting, sweet.
- [Jordan] Oh my God, it looks so good on you. Okay, should we go sit up on the deck? - Yeah.
- [Karin] Yeah. - [Jordan] Here's your drinkie. I'm gonna grab my drink. - Okay. - Make sure we don't add anything for the last little stretch. - [Jordan] Yeah, holy. - So knowing me, I would've
probably cut a straight line between those rocks right there and the entrance to the bar out there, which is like right there,
which means, like I say, we should do a countdown from like 10. - [All] Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. (people cheering) - [Jordan] Wow.
- Do I get a kiss? - I love you. - I love you. Sierra, I need a kiss. (Sierra shouting) - [Jordan] Okay, should we do a polaroid? - Yes. - I need hugs, hugs. - Yay, we did it. Well, Brian did it. And we're gonna celebrate with him. - Exactly, Brian sailed around the world. - Ready. - [Jordan] Yay, so we did a
group one and then a solo one just to showcase this. - Splendid. - [Jordan] Magnificent look
that's going on right now, this vibe. - [Brian] It's always
been a little hard for me to express my emotions and in this case, I was definitely more
than a little choked up. But being surrounded by
my friends and family as we approached a tiny Mexican village that I remembered from over a decade ago, absolutely put me over the top. To say that I've evolved as
a person during this time would be the understatement of the year, but right now I just
needed to stay focused on not crashing Delos,
getting her anchored and soaking in the moment. - [Jordan] Well, it's
sunset, it's so beautiful. - Ooh, that's-
- [Jordan] What a moment, yea. How's that LaCroix? You good? You might not understand right now, but one day you'll understand your daddy did a very cool thing today. Very special thing, yeah. Okay, let's anchor this bad boy. - We're getting pretty close. I think Brian's like, holy shit,
I wanted to wreck the boat, like ride as we come in. - [Jordan] That's it, I'm done. - Yeah, that would have- - [Jordan] Crash the boat,
I'm out, time to get a condo. - Yeah, let's anchor and chill out. - [Jordan] Sounds good. (upbeat music) - [Brian] It felt pretty incredible to wake up in this amazing anchorage after spending the last few
weeks dodging bad weather or rolling around the open
ocean for the 1500 or so miles we'd covered since leaving Costa Rica, but unfortunately there was
more bad weather on the horizon, so we decided to move
Delos into the marina in `1233, so we could hunker down for our second brush with
a hurricane of the season. And since Barra is officially
the most southern point I made it to in Mexico
before crossing the Pacific, we thought it would be fitting
to arrive into port in style. - [Karin] Whoa, so look
at this morning situation. We got a special delivery
courtesy of billionaire. - Time to fancy up the boat, huh? - [Karin] Yeah. - Dress her up. (Sierra cooing) - [Karin] Okay, wow. (mumbling) Is this your favorite thing to happen of the circumnavigation? - Yeah, it was. - So we have our old courtesy flags from like all around the world. We are missing some, I
don't know where they are. I feel like they would be like. - [Brian] We're missing like 40. - Yeah, we're missing like most of them. I think they're on the boat somewhere. We just like for our
lives cannot find it, so. - [Jordan] This one's really
tattered South Africa. - I know the South African
one is like so done. - [Jordan] Some of these have
no idea what they are like. - [Karin] I know. - [Jordan] What was that like purple one? This one? - Yeah, like this one. Which one is this? - [Brian] I dunno. - [Jordan] Somebody can
tell us in the comments I'm sure.
- I know. - [Brian] It's considered
proper sailor etiquette to fly a courtesy flag for
each country you visit. And since Delos has sailed
to 46 different countries, we've amassed quite a collection
of flags over the years. As an engineer, I'm a
bit of a numbers guy, so now seems like a pretty good
time to bust out some stats I put together about the trip. Over the course of
sailing to 46 countries, we've managed to set foot on
North America, South America, Australia, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Leaving only Antarctica
as the one continent we didn't visit. The total trip duration
was just short of 13 years, coming in at 12 years and 11 months. And during that time, Delos covered 77,211 nautical
miles on the high seas. We replaced our standing
rigging once in Thailand and we're currently on our
third full set of sails. During the trip, I've hauled
Delos out of the water for routine maintenance
a total of eight times. Once in Seattle, Washington,
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Bundaberg, Australia, The
Whitsundays, Australia, Langkawi in Malaysia, Grenada,
and Annapolis in Maryland. Our trusty water maker has
produced 224,960 liters of fresh drinking water,
which is about 60,000 gallons, which is also the equivalent of drinking nearly five average sized
swimming pools over the years. We ran our main diesel
engine for 4,707 hours and our generator for 5,290 hours, which means I did about 40
oil changes over the years. We consumed a total of
26,375 liters of diesel fuel. That might sound like a lot, but if you calculate
the average over time, it comes to just 169 liters per month, which would be about 11 gallons per week, which is actually less
fuel than I use commuting to and from work in my 4Runner, not that bad, right? Our highest wind experienced
in port was 74 knots in Durban, South Africa and at sea, it was 62 knots sailing the wrong way around the Cape of Good Hope through the roaring forties
where we encountered 30 foot seas in some of the
worst sailing conditions I've ever seen. - [Jordan] What's different
about you today, Brian? - Yeah. - [Jordan] You look
like a man who's sailed around the entire world. - I look older, wiser. - [Jordan] You look more distinguished. - More distinguished? - [Jordan] Wiser, accomplished. - Accomplished. - [Jordan] Successful. Likable.
- Successful? Oh, I'm liking this. - [Jordan] All these things, yeah. - All right, hoist them up. (upbeat music) Okay, I think it's pretty good. - [Jordan] Yeah, Delos is ready for prom. She looks real sexy. - All right, let's do this. (upbeat music) - [Jordan] How do you
remember Barra de Navidad when you here before? - I remember playing pool at the bar. I remember surfing at this beach here, and I remember there's some,
like some canals in the back where you could go have Chinese
food, like a lady's house. - [Jordan] You proud of your man? - Yeah, it's really cool. Like we just read some
stuff and it just said like, you know, more people
have climbed Mount Everest than like sailed around the world. - [Brian] Really? - Which is kind of crazy, yeah. (upbeat music) - [Jordan] This is crazy. - Let's go try, try not to run to ground. (people cheering) - [Jordan] Can I get a high five brother? - High five. - [Jordan] Yeah. (people cheering) (indistinct chatter) (horn blaring) - [Man] Welcome
(indistinct), welcome Brian. (horn blaring) - Pretty good welcome, huh? I was at a complete loss for words and more than a little choked up. My mind wandered to all the
incredible places I've seen. The amazing people that
have come into my life because of sailing, and most of all, to the fellow sailor that
have come out to welcome us into this tiny little out
of the way port in Mexico. (soft music) - [Lady] Woo hoo. - Woo hoo, we did it. Hi, oh, thank you. That's the best hug ever. - [All] Cheers. - [Lady] Welcome, congratulations. (indistinct chatter) Cheers Sierra. (indistinct chatter) (people cheering) - Okay, let's fight. - [Brian] Let's go to the pool. So here we are, 13 years and over 70,000
miles later filled to the brim with memories, adventures, and
a lovely family by my side. Not to mention more than a few margaritas. I don't know exactly what the
future holds for me and Delos, but I can promise you one thing. The completion of my circumnavigation
isn't the finish line. And when it comes to my
greatest adventure yet, we're only just getting started. You know what the greatest thing about sailing around the world is? As I get older, the
girls stay the same age. - How do you feel about the future? And you just going to eat bread
and dessert and get on fat? - Eat bread and desserts and
just get all fat and sassy. - [Jordan] How many miles
since we started vlogging? - Four, four miles. - [Jordan] We've vlogged for one mile? - Vlogged for one mile? I put pants on? (bright music)
