High as a kite but the bilge is white! ? JK Beginning 2020 Sweaty and Dirty… We are almost done on the hard stand at @port_takola and ready to go back in the drink, still with a few more in water jobs to do, but then the big journey begins. We have 7,500 nautical miles to sail this year to reach our final destination of South Africa by the end of the year and we don’t want to do any boat work along the way. Apart from the expected fixing things that break, this boatyard trip is completing the refit that never finished from last time on the hard! Exciting times ahead and the FROTH levels are high! ⛵️???❤️ #sailingaroundtheworldwithkids

HAPPY FRIDAY Delos Tribe! New episode with link in bio ? In todays episode we further explore FLORES- which can be a tricky place to anchor with the ever shifting North Atlantic lows swinging through and changing the wind direction. But we jumped at a golden weather window to take Delos to a very special anchorage we had our eye on since we arrived. We tucked back into this stunning place with a stern tie and enjoyed an unforgettable few days diving and exploring the coastal caves. We soon got chased back to the harbor due to heavier weather, which meant perfect conditions for a surf mission! This anchorage will always stand out in our memory as one of the best, what’s an anchorage that will always stand out to you!? Give the episode a squiz by clicking the link in our bio or by visiting svdelos.com/251 MUCH LOVE from @bluevue4you & @senor.brady ? #IlhaDasFlores
