After two weeks of back breaking work Delos is back in the water!  With our two year mark approaching in French Polynesia we were faced with the decision of paying import taxes OR sailing somewhere else.  I’ve never been a fan of paying taxes I don’t have to so a few weeks ago I left the loves of my life in Australia and headed to Raiatea with my good friend Bill (Calico Skies) who was up for an adventure.  Bill left Calico Skies in Fiji, flew to Brisbane for a few days to help out with Delos 2.0 then we caught a jet airplane to Tahiti, slept on the floor of the airport, and carried on to Raiatea.  It only took 24 hours.  Since Sierra still needed to finish up this term of school and there was lot’s going on with Delos 2.0 Kazza and Sierra stayed behind to hold down the fort while Bill and I accepted the mission get Delos ready.  We hit the ground running and replaced the transmission, exhaust, grey water manifold, bilge pumps, fixed the keel, serviced the prop and shaft bearings, serviced the bow thruster, repaired the outboard, sanded the bottom, painted the bottom, painted the boot stripe, repaired and painted Maggie, repaired the boot stripes, fixed the freezer, and so much more.  Really that’s just the highlights….  there is an infinite list of things to do after leaving a sailboat in the tropics for 10 months.  It was long days filled with back breaking work and long nights filled with mosquito bites and early morning wake up calls from the roosters.  But we managed to splash her after only two weeks!!!  Sierra and Kazza arrived a few days ago and we’re going to sail to Fiji.  Stay tuned and sending much love from Delos in French Polynesia!

Happy Friday Delos Tribe!  Have you seen this week's new episode yet?  We'll fill you in on a little secret...it's one of our ALL TIME FAVES! This baby is classic Delos with a mix of everything...truly unbelievable scenery, boat work and mishaps, adventure & exploration, our fav watersports, and LOTS of ridiculous moments and giggles 😂 Sometimes we take for granted that our life is kinda unique out here, and so in this week's video we take you through a (not so) ordinary day for us from start to finish...whether it's the small things like a bit of morning serenity before the fam wakes up, or a full on crab hunting extravaganza complete with lots of screaming and laughing...we're gonna show you what it's really like out here. This really was such a special time for us, and one of our happiest periods we've had on board. The Tuamotus just have something so special and magical...there are very few places on planet Earth that have captured our hearts like this. It makes us feel so incredibly happy and grateful to be able to relive these moments through the videos, and we really hope that we can share some of that magic with all of you too 🫶💕 Check out the full episode here:    https://youtu.be/Toon_LYRJmQ
