Previously On Delos!
We get the forestay back from David, and put it up the mast.
We go for a test sail and get the rig nice and tuned.
And to celebrate the completion of the rig project we go for a Mexican feast.
Yeah so we are gonna leave I think on Tuesday. So in 5 days we're gonna leave for the Andamans!
I'm terrified but I'm really excited. You know we're not gonna have an anchorage
so we're gonna be sleeping out at sea you know. We're never gonna stop. But it's gonna be really cool.
We have the best crew!
Oh jeesss! Oh hello undies!
So this is our last provisioning run. We've done all the dry goods.
We only have fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, and the eggs left.
So I feel happy in a way that its gonna be over very soon.
But... It's like I don't know. It's just been way too much I guess. And for 7 people its a lot
of shopping. Its been really good but I'm extremly happy that it's over.
Like very soon! Yeah. We're ready to start sailing!
ummm. We've got these family mart vouchers for cokes.
To get a free coke and I went into the store over there and she was like NO NO!
And then Karin went into this other store and she was like no you can't do it in this one.
We think they're just being fucking lazy so now we're going to send Frida in to get our mutha-fucking cokes!
Go Frida! Go!
They were like "We are new."
"We don't speak any English. You have to go to the next one!" Ohhhh!
I was trying to speak to the guy but he was hiding in the back looking a bit scared. I was like fuck!
We are in traffic because we think Mel Gibson is in Phuket.
So we're just gonna see where the night takes us. So we just asked before
one person in the world that you would like to know.
So Karin just said Mel Gibson. So Josje who did you say? I didn't say anyone.
Ummm. Spice girls! It would be awesome to know like Kelly Slater and he can
teach you how to surf. You know like give you awesome tips on how to learn how to
surf. Yeah, mine would definitely have to be a dude. A hot dude!
Vin Diesel! Karin changed her mind. It's now Vin Diesel.
Yep. What?? What do you mean fuck off?
You like Vin Diesel? Yup! I have always.
Really?? I thought you were joking. Karin what do you think about Vin Diesel?
Oh yeah!! Or Whoopie Goldberg. She's pretty cool.
Ha Ha Ha....
 
 
Ugggg. Tired fellas!
So we're just done I think it's like 8:30 and we've been out all day.
We thought it was gonna take like 3 hours. Yeah we got everything so well done. Now it's just back to the boat and start cleaning
vegetables. Ha Ha He He. Our favorite thing!
Okay, awesome. Let's start this baby up!
I think Jeff is coming soon. The guy that we um
that we hung out with yesterday that invited us to the Mexican restaurant is coming here
to pick us up and I have no idea where we're going actually. I think we're going
for some ping pong shows tonight. At least some of us are hoping.
Or maybe a turtle show. I heard there's also
a parakeet show apparently. Yeah, a bird show and yeah.
Alright there's our ride!
We just got here at the Big Buddha and we're just here at the entry point and they just give you little
sorongs and scarves and things just to cover up out of respect.
Speaking Thai....
 
 
Here we are at the Big Buddha. The biggest Buddha in Thailand!
It is big!
 
The biggest buddha in Thailand
It is big.
That is a MASSIVE Buddha!  Wow!
Keep going! yeah there you go!
That was good!
Ha Ha he he.
Shake that booty!
I like your style Bri.
Monkey!
That's not nice!
It's got like a big bump by his tail.
Give me the camera he'll try to grab it.
How do you get them down? Just hold your arm out like that slowly and he'll just walk across.
your arm. Holy shit!
Just go closer to the tree.
 
 
 
Ha Ha Ha. Wooow!
Okay maybe leave the monkeys alone. Poor guy!
Stupid... He told me to go hold a monkey and I listened.
Should have thought more about that. But no skin was broken. Just a couple of bites and scratches.
Fuck.
Poor guys... I feel bad for them. I guess I thought I was more of an animal whisperer
than I actually am. Ace Ventura made it looks easy. I don't blame them
for not being too fond of humans though. Being chained to a tree is a pretty shitty way to live.
Just as I was contemplating a monkey rescue we pulled up to a baby elephant
on the side of the road. And just like his buddies up the street he was chained up.
Not cool Thailand.
It's so sad. You can see it's got like this kind of waddle.
Brady don't get too close. I'm staying away bro.
I've had my one attack for the day.
 
It's so beautiful.
Wow! Look at his mouth!
Oh man. I'm sorry buddy.
That really sucks man.
Here you go. Here you go! Oh shit I got something back too.
 
So they're just out here all night like that?
With both of his front legs chained up?
Yeah. So he really can't even move.
 
 
Look how terrible that is.
Both front legs chained up. It's fucking terrible.
So, it's just an idea I have
The older ones are cool in their position
but this one is really distressed. And he's not old enough they don't get him out hiking around
So they're kind of grooming him for eventually when he's older to take tourists around.
I'm like he's just too young. He wants to be free so.
i wanna get together a crowd funding campaign to raise money to free him.
Yeah, so can they capture elephants like this now?
Or is it illegal? I have no idea? I'm just wondering the other side to that might
be okay, now that if you know that people will pay to free elephants then you could actually make money
just capturing elephants, having people raise money to free them,
and... There's not many more in the wild. So pretty much all of them are either in a sanctuary or in captivity.
Like this one. But some of them adapt well to captivity. And some done.
And this one doesn't. I mean how can he adapt well to having like your two front
legs chained up. Yeah. Sorry man.
Okay. Sometimes I come and see her sleeping. She lays down.
 
At the turn of the century there were an estimated 200,000 Asian Elephants
ranging from Syria to Northern China and to the islands of Indonesia.
But now only 15 percent of their natural habitat is left. Estimates now put the remaining elephants
in all of Asia to around 35,000 individuals.
I recently spoke to Jeff about Marina and how he was doing. Jeff said the last time he passed by
to start negotiations with the owner about releasing Marina to a sanctuary Marina was gone.
After talking to some of the locals in the area Jeff came to the conclusion
that Marina either died or was traded to another tourist spot.
Apparently his back has a problem and was not suitable for giving tourists rides.
 
Check out the link below to learn more. And if you do ever make it to Thailand don't pay to ride these giants.  www.saveelephant.org
And don't pay to see elephants unless you are in well known, established elephant sanctuary.  www.saveelephant.org
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hey Jeff! Yeah, we really appreciate your hospitality. Oh no worries! We fucking love it!
We love the Mexican food. We make our own moonshine onboard obviously. Oh you do!
Ha Ha. We do. And I was asking earlier if you like Whiskey. Yeah!
So we got your own bottle of whiskey here. Wow! Weeeew!
That's unbelievable. Karin created the label. We burnt the edges.
Jeff Especial!
That's for you! Naw really? You guys are too kind.
So there's oak chips in it already. So it's not ready. Let it sit for maybe.... I'm just gonna look at that bad boy.
Maybe a month or two. You guys make these yeah? Yep. Go for it Jeff!
That's Delos moonshine alright! Smooth. Smooth.
Yeah you were expecting something different weren't you.
Turning the ocean into alcohol one drop at a time!
 
 
What are we doing Jeff? All going! Up to Patong!
Look at the car! Very smooth ride here.
The whole family fits in here.
 
 
That's the game plan! We're topping up.
You can't go to Patong sober. You gotta get a buzz on before you go to Patong.
That's rule number one. Otherwise you'll seriously regret it. So we're gonna get some roadies here.
Got my canteen. This is a classic, classic Delos move!
 
Okay!
Jeff!
Yeah- so we just got a message from your father in Sarasota. Uh Oh. He didn't see the video yet....
Your family is fucking awesome by the way! He was kind enough
to put a bit of money into our buy us a beer fund. Oh uh alright!
So we'll send him a thank you as well but tell him thank you very much. To Jim in Sarasota!
Jim! To Jim!
 
Jeff got our home base set. What is it called?
U2 bar. The U2 bar? He said if shit goes down we all meet back there. Oh alright...
I don't know what that means but....
 
 
Going to Phuket
and not visiting Patong is like going to Vegas and not gambling. This is the place
you hear all those crazy stories about. The lady boys, the ping pong shows,
and the opium dens. It's all here!
 
 
 
 
 
After doing some serious people watching. And a bit too much drinking
we finally gave into the 10,000th offer to see a ping-pong show.
We had mixed emotions about paying for something like this. But after talking to the locals we came to realize
they are truly proud of their strange shows and we felt it was only fair to experience one.
before leaving Thailand. After all no matter how strange it might be who are we to judge
such a unique talent.
So this is Buoy. And we came up with
300 baht for 1 drink and if we want 2 drinks it's another 150 baht.
On top of that. Okay you guys go I'll meet you in there. When in rome!
Okay bro. Wait give me my beer. I'll meet you in.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You dirty devil! You ping ponged that shit! What did you think about that?
It was crazy! You were the one that was on stage. She shot a ping pong
out her her hooo-ha and you ping ponged that shit out of it.
Yeah I hit it. Weird shit. Ughhh.
Well I held a ballon as a target and I smacked
ping pong balls out of a girls vagina. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Honestly something I've never done before and will probably never do again!
The balls come flying and me and Karin we hiding.  Yeah Yeah I was just knocking them out there.
cause we didn't want that on our faces. No, you don't want that!
I had no idea you were that good at ping-pong. Yeah I used to be like a champion. You were the master
of ping pong. You rocked that.
We saw darts shot out of a girls vagina that popped a balloon. We saw was it a gerble or a hamster?
Both. A gerble and a hamster come out of a girls vagina. We saw...
a turtle. We saw ping pong balls.
And what else? Oh she blew a horn as well- like to the beat of
a song. To the beat of Eye of the Tiger... No no no it was
The Final Countdown by Europe.
I know this one.
He he he.
Ohhh brother. I lit a cigarette out of
a girls vagina. You were up her butt! I wasn't.
Well I was pretty in there. You don't know what it was actually.
She put her dirty ping pong ball in your mouth. Naw she threw it on me I was like
awwww!! Josje's eating chips over here. Josje!
What did you think Josje? I liked it!
That's the weirest stuff I've ever seen man.
But you think that the mouse would scratch inside there but that was really weird.
But it takes a bit of skill popping things out of the the.... you know....
It was aahhhh. I have no words.
Okay we go to the Andamans now! Okay let's go to India.
Time to go to India. Thailand I love you.
Yeah. Well goodbye Thailand!
And that was that!
We officially experienced Thailand. And it was time to head home for a hot bleach bath.
Nice to meet you! We said our see-you-laters and gave hugs to our new friends.
And set our eyes on the horizon. It was time to go sailing.
Thanks for everything man! We don't do goodbyes, we only do
until we see you again. I gottcha, I'm the same way. Alright man.
Yeah sorry about the monkey incident. I got him attacked by a monkey. Look at this man.
I've got a bag of Mexican food and I'm gonna freeze it and have it in like 4 months.
Don't tell anybody about the monkey story. Now everybody's gonna know about that!
 
Next up!
We finally go cruising and do the first leg of our 7,000 mile trip across the Indian Ocean.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So what does Manskraft mean? Manpower. Do you have manpower?
I guess so. They call me Manskraft. I don't know it's a funny word.
I mean you got pretty big guns!
Josje what happened? I was trying to make us yogurt.
And lid popped off while I was shaking it!
Goodbye Thailand!
