  • The experiment continues :) Thanks for all the feedback on our last Slow Tv episode! For this one we strapped the camera just above the cockpit. It's one static view 40 minutes long of Delos beating upwind from Trinidad to Grenada. The idea behind these videos is to provide a relaxing, ambient experience with natural audio and no editing. Something to relax to, put up on your flatscreen or second monitor, and just zone out and watch the world go by.
    Hope you enjoy, and as always looking forward to your feedback and suggestions.
    Fair Winds, Karin, Brian, Brady, and Alex.
    Don't know anything about SLOW TV? Some info below :)
    On a recent sail we were inspired by a TED talk on the concept of Slow TV. The idea is to capture an experience from a point of view over a long time span. Here is a link to the TED talk if you are interested: www.ted.com/talks/thomas_hell...

    My favorite point of sail. Love watching these long static view episodes while doing some deep thinking and writing. Just enough imagery and audio to bring the world back into view and know that someone somewhere is doing something fun. Thanks for sharing the journey.

    Wow guys , this is a real treat. I'm a big fan Slow TV. I'd love to see this on a regular basis like at least every couple of months or so. Through different weather experiences, maybe drop a camera under water in a fantastic coral reef for a half hour where you happen to find a real busy cleaning station or just lots of pretty coral fish. Possibilities are endless. Don't choke us with them . Make us develop a hunger for them. Cheers to the whole crew !

    anyone who gives this a thumbs down has never enjoyed the wonderful bliss that sailing brings!! Nothing is more peaceful or relaxing. It puts you to sleep in a most tranquil way. Yet the violence of the sea is to be respected as well. Your videos are wonderful and remind me of my sailing days. Thank you.

    Very cool. Makes me feel like I'm almost there on deck watching the boat slice through the endless choppy blue water. Standing at the helm with one eye on the compass, a big mug of hot coffee teasing my nose as I enjoy the cold salty mist on my face. Thank you so very much.

    The norwegian broadcast started for several years with the concept of slow tv. They started with a train trip ( 6-7 hours) from Bergen to Oslo. 3 cameras in front of the train and just some text information and background music during the trip. This was a great success and now they produce every year a very long slow tv program.

      @@svdelos, Hello! You guys haven't responded much to commenters on this Slow TV video. There have been a few suggestions to make future videos like this better, but no replies (except this one) from the Delos crew. Are you real busy just now, or something along those lines? It's always good to hear back from you. Throwing some hearts around (even if I don't get one) lets us know we commenters are part of the Delos tribe.
      Since I know you often do respond to at least a few comments it just seemed like almost no responses to this video was odd. I hope everything is okay! And thanks for the effort you put into ALL your videos. Can't wait for this Friday!

This is the goal. I have been following your adventures for over a year now, and this is the best video for me. Thanks.

    I like it. Great background sounds while I do some serious work. I have recorded a little stream near my house during different times of the year and love the sound. There is a park bench nearby for people to sit and listen and look at the flowers. It is there for a reason. Very relaxing and thought provoking. I don't do facebook or twitter as these things are distracting to my life. I watched the TED talk and it was a great idea. Not silly but it let people sit on the ship or on railway for a time. I watch Amazing race as it is a great traveling guide to places to see. I was in Switzerland recently on a road trip and looked up and swear I have seen that farmhouse on the hillside. Except nobody was bringing milk down the hillside at the time. I almost did some sailing in the caribbean a few years back buy my friend had a heart attack and is fine now but sailing but it put a kibosh on the sailing in remote locations. Thanks for posting the vid. I haven't watched tv in 4 years now and have a happier and more fulfilling life. CZcams has made a world of difference. Great video. Thanks for letting me ride on the boat for a bit of your adventure.

Then I found Delos and immediately fell in love not only with the content but with Amel. The Super Mamou 2000 I hope I spelled that correctly is exactly the boat for me it's either that or a cat for me. You guys rock I don't miss one bit of content on this platform I do miss the camaraderie that you all had with Lizzer & Liz what wonderful times and hope that they will return in the future. Cheers

    Think I enjoyed it more than the river one. I put it full screen, put my feet up on my yarn box, leaned back and went to work on that cardigan I've been slooowwwlllyyy knitting. (sloth knit along - I think i'm the only sloth still on this project.) It was like knitting in front of a window, found myself rocking in time to the waves and movement of the boat! Very Relaxing. Realized that even though I was only watching it over top of my work - my subconscious was getting too into it when I started leaning way to the right. Good thing you didn't tack mid-stream or I may have been startled into falling out of my chair! ;-)

    Even if going against the wind is never confortable, is the fashinating mistery of sailing.. I could not watch it for 40 ' long, but I did it
    for a good half..
    Really amazing and relaxing video that shows how good is your boat in rough seas.

    Hey Delos, really like your slow TV. It gives a good feel for what sailing is really like (minus the water splashing in my face). Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more Slow TV.
