Brian embarked on an around the world sailing trip and has made friends along the way.
In May 2008 Brian Trautman set off from Seattle, to embark on an around the world trip on his boat Delos (53ft Mel Super Maramu), with no intentions of becoming a YouTuber or travel blogger. He just wanted to take a trip across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand. When he reached New Zealand he was wishing for more so embarked on a trip to Australia and so it began. Somewhere along the way, SV Delos (Sailing Vessel Delos) was born.
SV Delos has become a very popular travel blog with sailing videos, travel guides, sailing guides, merchandise, and more. Delos and its crew have travelled to over 45 countries, 70,000 ocean miles, and produced over 300 YouTube Videos. They also sell sailing gear and merchandise to fund their trips. They are one of the most well-known sailing blogs and YouTubers in the world, being approached by journalists and large companies that wanted to make their journey into a tv show.
The crew has changed over the years but Brian is still aboard with his new daughter and wife, crew members have come and gone, some with the intention of a short trip on the boat but ended up staying.
The crew holds contests to find new crew members and crew members have turned the blog into a business with writers, businessmen, and photographers all becoming part of the crew. They spent 2022 in the Caribbean and United States making boat repairs and isolating, released their 300th video and they have created a four-part docu-series called 80 North.
