Introduction/Definition/etc
YouTube videos of young(er) people
sailing, living aboard, traveling and
sharing their lifestyle globetrotting
and living the life, most might want,
and sharing theirs, likely with all
the connected people they met
along the way, this a final episode
for the season, but shutting down
the boat, still own it, maybe a storm,
how to end it type video,
most just seasonal routine
for people not sailing into warmer
waters in the cold, some think it was
April, now up in December,
but something came out,
the backlog likely getting difficult
to manage...
Body
Original Text
see elsewhere
maybe copy in the you tube
comments and elaborate here
on them, with context,
and a keyboard...
Got a like ;-/
Then called creepy for an analogy
to people leaving babies
behind on military tours,
wars, etc... Analogy to caching
stuff all over the world when run
out of space on the boat for
memorabilia...

What's Missing?
lock on the dinghy (sp?)
What Can Be Found?
Top ~10 Reasons to make the boat a museum:
- Getting long in the tooth
- Insurance Purposes
- Unsail worthy
- Time for bigger and better
- New A_* vessel coming out of the factory
- Plan on (finally) getting married,
- having a wife, and family,
- so fork into two+ ships
- (old crew bought in same design),
- brothers get the same design boat(s),
- comparative mods to it, and raft up when want to...
- already cleaned it, might as well...
What Can Not Be Found?
Enough berths for all the vicarious
viewers to be on board...
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Original crew
Well, do a review,
where are they now,
like all the VH1 stuff...
/Sigh
Family of Origin
Not a main part of the videos,
but not absent either,
so brought brother on board,
lived with him,
didn't kill him,
so might work out...
Time for a bigger boat
/PropsToJaws
Guests
Day sailing and crossing small passages
as a tour operator may be fun for some,
work it out, find crew, standard on camera
off camera lives...
Patreons
Not sure what that is like
paid subscriptions for viewing,
get pre release, early info,
InstaGram has some newer info/
stills/ etc, not sure on that either,
more commercial hosting/ subscribing
than i care to be...
Other ships
Live and learn,
maybe do some videos,
IDK...
Other VLoggers
Well their technique is all off,
Jacque (sp?) Cousteau had it right,
but we aren't him,
will see, might figure something out,
something to do with all the footage
we collected, weather sucks,
stuck in port, maybe learn some new
editing software, i hear open source
has some video stuff, wonder if i can
learn that, the cost of Prime Cut Pro
or whatever is getting outrageous...
Land Lubbers
Must be a sailing thing,
i don't understand it...
Old Salts
I'd give you advice,
but you're young and not going
to listen anyways...
Old Vicarious
Well, enjoy it while you are young,
my pains are acting up again,
must be wanting to rain...
Younger Folks
How do i get me some of that
(props to some car monkey show)
Start Ups
I wonder what makes that all work,
run some simulations and find out...
General Public
Lifestyles of the rich and salty?
Assumptions
Good stuff comes to an end,
/Might be a depressives perspective,
idk...
Virtual is safer,
but not living life,
also bad...
Time Limits
There is a season,
as people close out their year
financially, and logically,
and the week before New Years
is a very popular time for best of
summaries...
Links
find link to mention of
SVDelos previously
now year(s) ago
finally on it's own page ;-/
BTWD2018
had the wet return possible Blue
visit, or some couple going
touring, with body piercing, etc...
https://svdelos.com/
I have some old trophies/ mugs
from racing, but not anonymous,
so guess they are not going up here...
Some songs of the time bring some back,
Christopher Cross Sail Away
In college, the AIDS crisis was starting,
and as an undergrad/ freshman,
in a liberal arts school by a lake
that turned into what people thought
was a prison, later a different type
of college, the lake was supposedly
bad, and i had to jump in to help/ save
someone, captain on racing had to,
but survived, algae, and other pollution
stuff, sailing against the women's college,
losing to visiting guy, ended up being
my tutor (liberal arts didn't prepare me well
for technical school,
blamed for closing school,
post baby boom, how they were treating
students, and just plain educational org
greed/corporate life, etc
likely culprits...),
but ended engineering school
and a girlfriend had moved on,
i went back to the familiar,
later changing majors going back to school,
finished up on the 17 year plan,
for a 5 year (w/ coop) bachelors, originally,
with an adult program (required to have
been out of HS more than 5? years?)
interdisciplinary, and the local school was
a trailer park, research places would not pay
for what they wanted people to be from
(GWU, etc) during upgrades,
and while i bought Howard sweatshirt,
as a challenge
RacismAnonymous
never got one for my alma
(sp? don't use it much)
mater, alumnae organizations
mostly want money, and if you didn't
complete the degree for that,
personal reasons, and are disabled,
unemployed, and unsaleable for publicity,
little reason to continue with that,
not exactly a unibomber scenario,
but not a happy reunion either,
high school 20 year was right around
9/11 and people didn't fly in,
nothing much to say, and i don't bother
with that either, but i didn't fit in there
much either, leaving high school part
day, to go volunteer, which started my
technical career, later for (but not in)
military, so can't say much about it,
and other stuff, better left unsaid...
YMMV
Peace Out, not a signoff,
just learned the hard way
fighting/violence/militarism/etc
not the best life plan...
Peace be with you,
some places say,
finding peace with all the losses,
not that easy...
Oh, and congrats...

finds many of them
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_(Christopher_Cross_song)
give a popup asking for money for WikiPedia...
with an article/ page in the background...
Maybe after year end, it will not pop up,
or if you can support it, YourMoneyMayVary...
Likely other songs, but will see,
keep them to myself...
Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Going on land, so wrap up,
some boat maintenance and close up,
some parts dated to back in April/August,
as warm, and fans thru, vinegar,
in a pan left, said to keep mold down,
and other things,
finally getting to editing, (yeah, not
on board, so 20/20 criticizing)...
I may have met Blue along the W&OD
just after Bike to Work Day,
in the rain, at the end of about 35 miles,
and i didn't have the energy, health,
and money/etc
to go eat with them...
Turns out the restaurant I mentioned
at the time, is moving/
creating a new location
in Falls Church, growing...
But finally catching up on editing,
contractual obligations of the new equipment,
(battery lithium fire?)
sails, etc and maybe just good form,
taking a break from weekly videos,
editing, and living a life, and what else
to do, not hitting a mid life crisis,
as too young for that /jk...
Maybe like living disabled, and how to
take a vacation from being poor/sick/tired
try being rich, healthy, and energetic?
Snarky but true, some things not by choice,
but how to do things a different way,
you have to change,
assumes you can,
life choices, had I gotten married,
had I had a kid (known?)
had I taken the road less traveled,
instead of the customary routine,
usual commute, and that car, bike,
truck, ice, pedestrian, etc
not happened...
How many people have that experience,
looking back with regrets,
I'm writing on something going on 10+
years later, Obama has come and gone,
Recovery funding, regional, national,
etc is spent, and records of it,
now missing, records retention
for federal money is lacking,
and other political stuff,
the roll back president came in,
trying to undo most of what was done,
we haven't gone to war with Korea,
as predicted, a tough stance may have
worked, idk,
but we are still fighting over oil...
China, I see from Smithsonian Channel
Aerial China, really China from Above
is our same size (w/ or w/o Alaska?)
but 4x the population?
and has bullet trains, and infrastructure
projects that leave us in the dust,
(imho? uninformed comparison,
what we are doing? haven't kept up)
And their energy needs went beyond
ours, showing LNG ships being built
and some of that imported from US...
And reading and commenting on
some of the video comments,
Patreon people getting a misc box of stuff,
sent to them with money they had sent
to keep the boat going,
here is an unused piece of duplicate
hose, congrats, you can make a SVDelos
beer bong out of it...
And my mood went down,
others commented upon
how they had mixed emotions about it,
but the shutting down for the season is
a normal (for some value of normal)
boaters thing, for those with seasonal
stuff, have to close down, when turns to ice,
have to stay within certain Lat/Long coordinates,
say for work, or other land based commitments,
wife/kids, sick relatives, only place(s)
ever known, etc...
Reruns were mentioned, they had seen
the tech segment for lithium battery
conversion, why were they recycling,
and then think of the dangers
others have said about fire with those
batteries, and worried they may have
torched (sp?) the boat,
the documented improvements,
the time off, needed, and they
relatively young couples
brothers, and associated WAG
(usually Wives And Girlfriends)
plus ones, taking over,
Kaza (sp? Karen? Karin?)
and the comments
about her and her blue eyes,
sunglasses and mirrored at that,
looking back at you, and the cameras
(on tripods? handheld solos),
part of the shot, and outtakes, etc...
Mr. Brady (typically a teacher's name)
in the shower,
by popular demand,
Brian being the more mild mannered
and dad like, the crazy uncle,
and other references...
Blue making the videos more
professional,
checking older reels for how much
their editing has changed,
scuba diving (For those, like me,
that lost an ear drum and cannot
go down, nor supposed to go up,
flying)
I think I started watching Delos
from a drone suggested link
about the time I had bed bugs,
and thought I would go camping,
turned out it was in my bathtub
and watching water, and warmth,
while huddled in a tub,
in the cold,
seemed like sailors had it OK,
and similar circumstances,
but in better places, younger,
healthy, relatively, and virtually
getting hooked on watching their
adventures, having sailed in my younger
years, only in the Bay, taught sailing
for a bit, day sailing,
raced a little too,
even in college, before it closed down,
and i went on to another campus,
as planned, and it didn't work out,
came up to coop time, and left,
for what was familiar...
I cruised while supported by family,
in high school,
once on a Tartan 10,
ironically I wanted to
comment on that, like the J boat,
also been on, others rented, I was
crew for holidays, and my life now
decades later, with disability,
thru homelessness,
some day treatment
(1 year, most are limited to 3 months?)
and the usual time travel
of what if things were different?
But I digress into history,
and my life, on a page named
for something else,
maybe you can relate,
most can not, afaict...
Recent attacks, personal
and up in your face like,
instead of left alone,
and that part not covered well,
notoriety (sp?)
fame, some might call it,
but not without it's problems,
being recognized,
someone saying your shoe is
untied, and I have to be out on the road
with him, it will get caught up in the
pedal, cause you to fall, etc,
and the risks of bending down,
lights out, ass in the air,
I want him to suck my D***
and other attacking/stalking problems,
(he got fired for something like that?)
when just checking for $0.20
bag of about a pound of Halloween
candy corn, when it went
up 5x+ to closer to regular price
in about as many days,
staff annoyed to have to price check
something, I had taken photos of the stuff
on the shelves, and gotten one guess wrong
in my favour, by about another bag of candy corn,
in the clearance section...
Outgoing have to pass staff on break?
union smokers and other problems
in the pouring rain, at the end
of a commute, stalked at both endz
too, attack after attack,
staff, ridicule, sadistic,
and other problems,
not really mentioned the negative
effects of the notoriety,
there is the spelling,
keep typing might get it right,
monkey at the keyboard,
eventually...
Free writing as my mood was going
down, and trying to touch type
on a real keyboard, instead of the limited
tool of comments on YouTube,
really only enables sniping type comments
on mobile devices, typing with autocorrect,
and small screened, editing fields limited
beyond what even gMail and texting limits you,
thumbs up and down on some of the others
comments from just a couple days ago
upload I used to watch as it was released
on Friday early am, I was up, and likely
one of the first viewing, most would have
been asleep, upload times, time zones,
etc, and my sleep schedule, just waking
up, so off to something, as the day
turns into Monday, typing this...
And might be good to add some real
content to this page..
.
The how to on the boat, technical stuff,
just up Brian's alley, career wise,
from what i recall, doing software on the
West coast, Seattle, and Arizona,
(fact check H.S./college???)
and the history, getting a first boat,
and have to have a written time line,
the videos, likely Hi Mom, Dad,
associated people over the time,
how to keep everyone updated
on how things are, and maybe for
insurance reasons, these are the
DIY stuff I did to my moving house,
in case it sinks, that was the value,
and these you do, those you don't
type stuff...
Encountering storms, pirates,
interviews, life on tube, and off,
travel remembrances (sp?),
how to remember it all,
like what my father left me,
and noted up here,
TrackDays,
TrackDays2012
at ~$200 / day, but that may
have saved my life, doing a turn,
and knee out plus leaning, etc
learning for Sturgis
Sturgis2013
trip, when tired and did it by habit,
a crash and trip to the hospital
would have cost more, if not
permanently in a wheelchair,
or dead...
Surviving storms, just coming
back, heavy rain, some do their
moto trips on video, recording all of it,
talking to others along the way,
never know when the inattentive
driver, problems, deer run out,
bad road, etc and down/out/dead,
video of the Fail, etc
sometimes funny, but likely deaths
that way too, showing some of the
fun times, what normal was like
not all doing wheelies, fronties
(sp? flagged but correct,
add to dictionary?),
etc
trick riding,
now move that to sailing,
in harbour (sp: using it),
house boat mode,
and then crossing oceans, showing
the day to day, cleaning the boat,
and how much of the how to,
and lifestyle, tourist type visiting
ports, and going thru customs,
wondering if the banana republic
quarantine, the cat(s), etc
and other problems, showing drinking,
some pot, some out of country,
expat like lifestyles, and
what it's like being 20something,
30something, and how long the
vacay may last, going thru crew
over the years, the Austrian woman,
(Liza?) growing up on board,
having kids and playing pranks,
how they are growing up on board,
schooling, home on boat schooling,
and all the learning to be done while
traveling, talk of how difficult it is
while away from family, only seeing
once a year or less,
the dealing with Patreons (part of their
financial means of staying on board/
float), buy us a beer (I'm not supporting
in that way, can not ethically support
drinking/ smoking, etc,
but some other tagline
down the wrong throat, outtakes
and what is funny at 20-30 something
and now at 55 not that funny,
the criticism implied by you are doing it wrong,
imnsho, but at the same time enjoying
other parts of it...
Crash the drone, that never happens
in Hollywood /cough
Taking labels off cans, as bugs
get into the labels, and wet labels
don't do much good anyways,
mark the contents so know what is in
them and store somewhere on board,
how much supplies to get for a crossing,
how much does one person eat,
the calculations of water, some
videos have, and then on power,
how much is enough, do you
have fuel, diesel and some places
having to carry it aboard,
running the water treatment,
making water, and how often doing
that vs, fishing, and catching something,
the nature aspect of it, the dumping,
seeing big vessels out there on the open
ocean, storms and squalls, and riding
it out, myself blown across the bay
with family, one of our last cruising,
now a senior, not a teen, and never
really did ocean sailing, just day sailing,
cruising on holidays with others,
and touring, myself getting scared of
water i cannot see the bottom to,
plus the other problems,
watching passages,
seasick for the first day or two,
at ocean, and what going from
land locked to boat, ocean,
and this last one, for now,
maybe ever,
going the other way,
locking up the boat,
closing up shop,
really shutting down,
maybe put a for sale sign on it,
get it saleable, and going onto a new
ship, boat, vessel, phase of life,
more a conscious decision than
something happened at sea,
and boat sank, luckily all lived,
type tragedy, like i would hear from
lists about bikers, and likely is out
there in pirate, sunk, never heard
from again stories,
how to day that in a touchscreen type
of you tube comments editor
and autocorrecting type input method
instead of keyboard and think it out,
more pre thought required, when
writing/typing than drivel here...
Saving this early am drivel while I can...
Addendum:
Turns out they (Brian & Kazza/Karin)
got engaged,
a short 3 minute video announced it...
My comparisons are from bicycling,
Bohemoth (sp?), see MicroShip.com
and his/their bike project later in a computer
museum... Computing Across America
and Reaching Escape Velocity
(on the financial/ sponsorship)
books describe it, now that CompuServe,
etc are less than trendy, decades later....
