It's WAHOO MADNESS on the high seas! We're 10 days into our 3,000 nautical mile voyage across the Pacific Ocean, and King Neptune is about to bless us with our most exciting moment of the trip yet...After downing a lunch of freshly caught fish tacos from a skipjack we snagged that morning, the crew was getting lulled into a food coma/siesta mode with the rolling of the boat. But we sprang to life when we heard that unmistakeable sound.....FISH ON!!! We hook an absolute MONSTER that puts our fishing skills to the test. After prepping the fish and managing to fit the obscene amount of wahoo into our fridges and freezers, the only thing left to do is enjoy the fruits of our labor...a catch and cook fit for kings with some fat and juicy wahoo steaks!

Absolutely stunned at you. Modern aluminum cans are chemically treated with a plastic coating. Pop cans, or soda cans, are typically treated with a plastic coating that protects the aluminium material of the metal container from the potentially corrosive soda drink that is held within.

@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Жыл бұрын

Stunned? Cut open a Coke can, and tell me how much plastic is in it? Not only that, but sand and saltwater are both highly abrasive and corrosive, and will break the cans down to nothing. Hydrothermal vents in the ocean floor spew out hot brines that contain metals... massive sulfide deposits containing manganese, copper, zinc, etc. Metal just comes out of the ocean floor naturally, and has been for billions of years. The planet is one big natural recycling plant, so complaining about this makes about as much sense as complaining if someone threw a beer can into the sun.

The glass on the other hand I think in deep oceans will become sea glass eventually or possibly provide a new home for a deep sea creature in the depths or become a coral reef some day.

Long-term vicarious fan here. I'm stoked to see Delos on the high seas again. This cruise to French Polynesia reminds me of your days in the Indian Ocean when I first stumbled on your channel. Bravo Zulu! You are truly inspirational! Equally important, Nugget is adorable, and I'm impressed by your parenting skills. I would like, however, to address one thing, and I hope my words will convey my good intention. When you speak about and display throwing cans overboard at 3:23, please note that all aluminum cans have a coating of a thin plastic layer on the inside to protect sodas' phosphoric and citric acids from reacting with the metal. Equally, the printed branding on the outside is made of toxic inks and covered with a super-thin layer of plastic. Thus no aluminum can these days is aluminum-only. In throwing one overboard, you inevitably - albeit unintentionally - put the plastic into the ocean. And, while a can will corrode and might dissolve eventually, the plastic layer on it never will. I am not criticizing you. I am not pointing fingers. I am only pointing out something I believe you can do without. I am also not nitpicking here; the natural world needs us today more than ever. There is enough space onboard Delos to store those cans while sailing and dispose of them later on the land. In light of your overall environmental consciousness - which, as far as I could tell, is exemplary - I believe you could and should consider this. Again, I hope my words in this comment will be able to communicate nothing more than simple care for nature from an environmentally conscious person. Have a great time! I will be looking forward to your next video! Actually, I'm already impatient! :)

I guess it is knowledge that is missing. Here are some facts: An aluminum can submerged in the ocean can take up to 200 years to degrade. However, it's important to note that aluminum cans are not purely made of aluminum. They often contain plastic linings and coatings, which can last indefinitely in the ocean. Also, the logos on the cans are made of toxic inks, which can contribute to pollution. Therefore, it's not advisable to discard aluminum cans in the ocean. So keep that in mind so I can keep sponsoring you guys with beer. 😉

Hello Delos crew, hope you all are enjoying French Polynesia and the friendly people who live there. Great catch with the Wahoo! A great trick to reduce the fishy flavor of certain fish is to let the fish marinade in milk for an hour before cooking. It really does improve the flavors. Looking forward to hearing about your future destinations. The west side of Australia up into the Northwest Cape to a small town called Exmouth is a place I recommend. I lived there for a few years and it is an amazing place for all things coastal. It has a large contingent of Americans there as well so lots of fun to be had. Swim with dolphins at Monkey Mia, Snorkel at Turquoise Bay but keep an eye out for tiger sharks they are BIG! Get all your provisions restocked at Exmouth marina. Keep it in mind as you plan your passage west. Safe travels Delos Crew!

That's incorrect -- aluminum is easily abraded by sand (the ocean is full of sand), and saltwater easily corrodes aluminum. Sinking the cans into the ocean is just an natural form of recycling, that requires no electricity, whatsoever.

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Sorry, but no. Those cans will not just "recycle" in the ocean. You can easily do the research on it.

@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Жыл бұрын

@@SVNalu They certainly will be recycled back into the mineral form from which aluminum is created, all with zero electricity usage. Why pretend otherwise? Why insist on being upset that a can got recycled in a way that did not please the recycling gods?

I appreciate the transparency, but wish you would not throw bottles and cans in the ocean. This seems akin to littering. Almost all cans have plastic liner and the aluminum probably takes a few hundred years to decompose. Y'all have clever solutions for everything - I'm sure you can figure this one out!

Aluminum cans: Despite being recyclable. They take around 200 years to decompose fully in the ocean.

Aluminum corrodes but doesn’t break down or rust. Your right 200+ years and even longer at deeper depths. Love you guys but no cans in the ocean please.

For how meticulous Brian is and the thousands of hours you are on the water it always puzzles me why little attention is paid to learning to fish. Keep up the great adventure, it appears as though you all have found a harmonious rhythm.

Gotta prepare the skipjack the right way even though could be a bit tough to do on a boat. In Japan, skipjack (Katsuo or 鰹) gets slightly aged, marinated in soy sauce or smoked with a slightly char grilled layer of skin. Tastes amazing!

Fabulous, if you crave Pacific Ocean crossing's on a sailboat, this contribution from Delos is a must see. Day 10, we find the crew's routine interrupted by catching a massive Wahoo, filleting and cooking; what a pleasant and not often seen experience, full of excitement and expert cooking. Massively enjoyable, we wish your passage to be as complete as Day 10. Thanks so much for sharing! Your editing and cinematography is amazing. Love the Southern Cross.

How do you determine which cans don't have plastic? I thought pretty much all of them have an inner plastic lining so the metal doesn't react with the contents.

100% correct. The glass will stay on the bottom for a million years and never be recycled. They didn't reduce their trash, they just spread out where it would be left.
