SLOW TV - Sailing Up the Maroni River, French Guiana - Sailing Vessel Delos

- This is a bit of an experiment, and you are the guinea pigs he he :)
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. In this case we were exploring the Maroni river in French Guiana. We hooked up a few Go Pro's on Delos and let them run until the battery went dead. We also recorded the audio separately with our external microphone.
The video is 3 hours and 40 minutes long and meant as ambient background with audio. Maybe put it on the TV while you eat or a second monitor while you work. I dunno but hope you enjoy!
Love Brady, Alex, Brian, and Karin.
PS- Here is a link to the TED talk if you are interested: www.ted.com/ta...
A friend of mine owns electrical retail shop on the high street. He currently has it running on four large TVs in the main window and it is awesome! People are walking by and getting half way past the shop then just stopping in their tracks, frozen. There must be forty out there right now. Things like this should be shown on big screens in Time Square or Piccadilly London. I am sure it will help to re-focus everyone's stress levels and make you appreciate the now and not worry about the tomorrow.
Thanks guys and girls xx
hahaha thats awesome! Tell your friend hes doing good work :)
Awesome! People everywhere need to relax. Thanks for sharing your story!
The thing I thought is sound travels a lot further over water than land, the only difference should be the volume as you get closer to shore. Had the same experience in a number of country's on night guard next to water, but in my case the sound was coming from the water. eerie at times...
48:09 love the switch
And suddenly...I’m on Delos, a dream come true. Thank you.
I just got some work on my car done. This morning I’m driving and I hear this squeaking sound. After five minutes of thinking of all the things that could be causing this problem (loose belt?!?) I realize that my car started auto playing this video and I was hearing the sounds of crickets!!! Shew!
Oh man that's awesome :)
I've watch an hour so far and the "crickets" are always the same volume no matter how near or far Delos is from the shore line. Does Delos have crickets living on board or is that actually a different sound that we are hearing? Maybe Delos's motor has a loose belt. ? ? ?
Yeah, well the audio was the GoPro wasn't anything but wind noise so we recorded the audio at anchor later on that afternoon. Probably why it sounds constant all the time. Lesson learned, thanks for the feedback. Brian
Your car plays videos while you are driving ???
My dogs are searching everywhere for crickets this morning :) On another note, I had so much to do today, but now....no.
If possible, you should do more of these.. during passages, at anchor with quiet, zen times; no voice overs, no story telling but for the sights and sounds. So great!
So glad you enjoyed, we will! I'm particularly interested in some long sailing ones :)
@@svdelos That would be awesome!
I want to hear one with some heavy seas, maybe some rain and thunder and plenty of boat creaking sounds!
Thar's what I've been interested in, no stories, no music, no talking, just the sights and sounds of sailing !
agree. do more of these as CRS suggests.
I'm a happy guinea p. I've been aboard now for 27.35 and loving it. Cool fact: I'm in the sun room "casual office" [42 inch stereo monitor with base woofer and surround sound plugged in] sitting @ the 1936 white oak desk as it is picking up that sweet engine rumble vibration and transmitting it to me through the wooden floor. THIS feels real! I'm happily pulled right into the Tautman Bros
experience. I like my restful vantage point. Im eating my grilled ham and swiss on 12 grain [while you two munch on your morning snack] The sun's early rays now light up the tiny wake to star board. Relaxing beauty!! The speeding ticket I got this morning is now a faded and more acceptable memory. A Delos ride is great therapy. Thanks.
Love it! But what I've always wanted is to see the same thing on an ocean crossing passage. The sound of the waves and the wind in the sails, creaking blocks and ropes... So relaxing and sadly the closest I will probably ever come to experiencing an ocean voyage! Love your channel, followed you for years! Keep up the good work and god bless you all xx
I clicked on this and went to make a cup of coffee. I figured the it would play through the intro and I wouldn't miss anything:) I sat down and started drinking my coffee. I thought for a moment my laptop had frozen. Try this on a night sail when the breeze is steady but the seas are calm and the sky is clear with a bright moon shinning. Nothing but the sound of the boat cutting through the water. No engine, no music, no talking. Just the helmsman/person on deck. You know what I am talking about. If that doesn't turn you on to sailing nothing will.
This is so much better than the evening news.....jungle, river, bugs, birds... this is what we all need from time to time.
I like this video. It shows the tranquility of being on a sailboat. It doesn't always have to be about partying and drinking. It's also about peace of mind and giving each other the space although be it in a small confined area to be alone with your own private thoughts. I really love following your videos they always set my mind at ease. God protect you all and bless you. Thank you so much for sharing a lifestyle that is out of reach for the moment for some of us. I really felt like I was on Delos along for the ride. Absolutely incredible.
so I put on the latest episode and went to bed....then woke up to this episode and it had been running for about an hour...I recall having the most wonderful dream just before I woke up and then layed in my bed just watching and listening before the lure of the french press took over...these are AWESOME guys!!!!!!! Kudos to this idea!!!!!!!!
Motoring along with no engine noise or vibration. Virtual peace and beauty. I think I'll just kick back and light up while I see what the sun does.
Absolutely calm relaxing quiet!!!!!,
Society , at times, is trained like cattle for go go go!... we do not realize that it ok to do nothing at times and really only way to achieve clarity!!..
Rock on 🤘🏾

Well said. I agree completely.
A few months ago, after the Technomadia couple ran into a storm submerged piling, they had to be towed way up the Miami River to a yard for extensive repairs. That hour+ long tow, just a relaxed, camera locked forward facing view starting from Biscayne Bay and up through and beyond downtown Miami, is as relaxing as any boating related video we've ever seen. We often loop it on one of the large spare monitors in the Code Pit (a lounge area where our coders swap ideas and solutions). You just can't be stressed out while watching that video. We test ran this new Delos up the river video and it's getting even better reviews. It's *that* good. It's like video Xanax. Thanks for the effort. Feel free to do more...:-).
In the hour I've watched so far, I've found the experience to be oddly fascinating. The small stray mixing currents that you can see in the river, the slowly changing clouds in the sky, . . . The bow perspective drew me in. As a bird and animal lover I was keeping an eye out for a flying or walking critter. So far I haven't seen any birds, which seems odd. But I've still got 2 hours 40 min to go. I've also realized how distracting human beings can be! lol.

Cool, it is all about the small details we would normally overlook right? Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching! Brian
After seeing the whole video I can now say that I saw quite a few birds. But I'm wondering did you guys on Delos see any local wildlife along the shore line? I'm thinking of the local version of deer or something along those lines. I tried to keep an eye out for them but didn't see anything moving in the small sections of seemingly non-forested sections of shore line. I did see one animal(?) in the river that seemed to move dynamically on the surface then submerge leaving a noticeable wake behind. In the US this may have been an otter or a muskrat.
Really enjoyed it ..makes huge difference if you listen with earphones! Not sure if this was just stereo recording or proper binaural recording. Sounds like normal stereo, so maybe experiment with binaural recording to increase immersion. Thank you in any case for great content.
I used to do this a lot back in the day. Glad it is being discovered again. A good microphone to use is a surround sound type. They have a large capture area compared to a directional microphone. The video should be synced to the audio so it go's together. The steadiness of the video (mounted camera) gives the viewer a good feel for what it is actually like to be there with all the sounds and sights. Glad you did this. Put a camera atop the mast for a birds nest's view of the passing items. Thanks for the videos.
Best three hours and 40 minutes of my week! ... Except The Wife’s Sunday morning .. Ohhhh ... hello, how are you! Lol .. Beautiful... love the sound of the jungle and water, I’m sure every sailor was watching the current. Surprised how little you move around the boat. Thanks Bri. Take care mate, J.
I have been having trouble sleeping. I am absolutely going to try falling asleep to this. THANKS GUYS!
We found this video fascinating. Most videos are concentrated on a thrill a minute, disaster, or calamity. The use of ambient sound was awesome, no intrusive blasting musak background. We liked the feeling of "being there." Please produce more of these type videos (find a way to provide an external power source for the Go-Pros). Dave & Linda M/S Olivebank
I was thinking the same thing about an external bat for the Go-Pros. The signs of the batteries going dead appear to be "jumps" in the video to very different scenes. That involves the river banks instantly changing along with the sky/clouds. Two Go-Pros at each location could also overcome this problem. Still, a great job! A first try at a new concept is rarely perfect.
Ive been watching this all morning while writing a leadership training class. Love the serenity of the boat movement and the sense of belonging and the background voices heard every now and then.
It's a great idea! Loved to have it on the background while working. Hopefully the first of many in a new "Slow TV" playlist on the channel.
I am only 15 minutes in and I wanted to pause to write -- it's great! As a long time watcher of your videos, and a want to be sailor, the feeling of this video is like a webcam, but a lot more because of the already established relationship your viewers have with you all. It's just really cool. I know it took a ton of loading time, cannot imagine given the connection speeds you all work with, and so thank you for doing this. Keep putting these out if you can. Hopefully, sans editing, they are a lot easier for you all and just really cool.
Just like the Mekong River.....except no one is shooting at you. Spooky reliving that feeling of being a sitting duck. Hours and hours of patrolling with the engines off. I find myself waiting for the sounds of incoming fire. Maybe I shouldn't watch this one.
Thank you for your service
Yes, thanks for your service. Peace.
Vietnam vets got a bad deal when they returned home. Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service!
HOLY COW!! I just had the wildest dream... Alright so I got home after a 13 hour or so work day, I put the post on my tv in the bedroom I began watching the video listening to the jungle sounds of the beautiful surrounding and fell asleep. The dream was that I won the lottery somehow convinced you guys that I would like to take a few trips on Delos with you and give you half a million for your trouble to allow me on board it was awesome, then as I began to wake up I was still traveling on the boat cuz the video was still playing it was great.. Great, Great...
Please keep making good videos, laying in the hospital bed in pain after surgery, you guys made it easier to forget about my motorcycle accident and surgery ......Ty keep up good work , jeanpierre
Hello sv delos, my dad and I are planning to sail around the world next summer, just like you guys I am young . Unfortunately I was in a bad motorcycle crash two days ago on my zx12r and had surgery because I was crushed by it,... and what keep me going was your videos, even tho I am broken I am still motivated to sail next summer .and would love to see u guys next season when we sail...
❤I hope you made your dream come true
I am a slow TV viewer .They have a channel with trains around the world. It gives you a real view of the countryside. This jungle cruise is the ultimate especially including the sound. Thanks for making this great video ! I would like to see one showing you's in rough seas like the time around Madagascar. Fair winds guys/girls .Cheers
Thanks for slowing it down for us mere mortals! Looking forward to future long term experience videos from you guys. Thanks for sharing your journey Delos.
Wow, I could not help but find myself mesmerized by the thousands of crickets surrounded by a trickling stream over rocks.! I eyes strained of abandonment to the lack of wildlife along the rive bank, and the wishful thinking that maybe, just maybe I might even see a bird. I did see a man go past in motorize canoe, and I did see a bug.This seem to surreal with wonder of what may lay ahead, and the anticipation of what might be around the next bend. I know that the giant anacondas in the area are notoriously intelligent, and that the creature from the black lagoon was never recovered. If only I could see some signs of life.Wait a minute, did we not pass that same outcrop of trees before. Stop it, just stop think so much ! If only I could get those crickets out of my head. I wonder if we took the wrong turn somewhere. Oh no....! This can't be the twilight zone.! ...Well can it ? Oh look, over there, I just seen some birds. Oh good, maybe I'm not dead after all !.
I am at work with this window in the background and I am just listening to the low hum of the engine and the glorious sounds emanating from the jungle. Amazing! Thank you!
Total ASMR buzz...you guys have rocked-it to an altered state of higher consciousness...love, love, love.
Working at home all day on multiple screens and this has just earned its own. Much love from Co for the Delos crew!
I saw this posted last night and decided to watch first thing this morning knowing full well that Delos had just posted a video early Friday, I wasn't expecting much. I'm mesmerized within five minutes. My God this is tranquil.
Delos tribe you've once again struck a cord! I think the holiday fireplace video has just been replaced.
If you liked the first 5 min then .........................................................................................
.....................
...........................
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Perfect thing to watch on a cold windy rainy day. Get some house work done and feel like I’m in paradise!!
When i watch this i can't help but think of all the amazing places Delos has travelled and what we see on the surface is only a fraction of what has passed beneath her hull...what an amazing capable sailing vessel...thanks for sharing your videos are amazing!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, so chill. Thanks, guys; great way to start my Monday! Greetings from NYC!
Love it! After about 45 mins - you actually feel like you're there... can almost smell it... So relaxing/soothing. Thank you.
Wasn't sure about this, but it's actually fascinating and the background noise is really taking the office stress down a few notches. Thank you!
I'm sorry I disagree with all the comments on here, 30 minutes in & I'm bored to death! It's like watching paint drying! I watch Delos to make me feel young again! This has got to be the most unsocial video that Delos has ever made!!! I can't believe Brady has been this quiet. I'm old and don't have much time left to sit around and watch. Guess I'm gonna get high a little bit earlier today!
Don't worry I still love you guys! 👍🏼🇺🇸👍🏼
A very interesting experiment and a very enjoyable one at that. I work from home and typically play some background music for white noise. This time I placed this video on my 3rd monitor and it was very refreshing to be able to glance at it from time to time and see the scenery. I still wondered if it would have been better to hear the audio in realtime vs. prerecorded. Thank you for sharing and I'm happy to be a "guinea pig" for this project.
This is a great video for people who like something on tv when they fall asleep or want something on tv to passively watch during work! What a great idea :)
I can only imagine what this would have been like, just chilin with a cup of coffe or tea and watching the jungle go by. How absolutely tranquil.
This truly is the best thing since sliced bread! A really nice change of pace from the usual action packed Delos episodes.
This really makes me miss the times when grandpa had a sailing boat.
What a beautiful dichotomy,exploring faraway exotic corners of the world from the comfort of your home.
I am Loving this SLOW TV stuff...thanks guys!!
This is the therapy I didn't know I actually needed, cheers SV Delos for a compulsory check-in!
Long time subscriber, please show more of this! I'd love to be there right Now!
Absolutely brilliant, a fantastic sense of `the real` watching this. With a little luck I`ll be living on the oceans myself about this time next year and this is a really powerful reminder of how incredible this life choice can be.
Fabulous job getting this together, I`ll be watching it (lights out and a beer) yet again this evening!
Thanks to all!
That TED talk with Thomas Hellum was soooo hilarious and soooo heart warming! Go Slow TV! The antithesis of life in a connected world. Beautiful.
Superbe ! A renouveler....
You all are so awesome. Slow TV will make my staycation so amazing. Always wish you had longer shots of Delos under sail. Thanks for everything.
I didn't have a chance to look at the screen very much. But, the sounds of the water and the occasional murmuring of familiar voices kept me company while I cut down and manicured for drying my last two cannabis plants of the season. Wish I could share. BOUNTY, is the word. There is a bounty. In California Alta. ;-)
I love the idea of capturing the ambiance surrounding you. Gives us a more 'in-between' episodes look at how time passes for you guys! Sure wish I could join you! Great idea! Would love some more 'Slow TV' in between your regular episodes, and I'm sure it is less time intensive to edit. Win - Win!
This is awesome. Put more of these out for sure. Show us everything, crossings short and long, sitting at beautiful anchorages, ect. We can all feel like we are with you on the boat. Love this slow TV concept.
Thanks Delos crew! Really enjoying the great sounds. I can pick out unique distant echos and animal calls... so sweet!
Completely wonderful, relaxing and beautiful. Also great sleep, relaxing sounds. Something else I have always enjoyed while sailing is the sounds of the halyards clanking against the mast and the sound of the boat crashing thru the waves...quite wonderful to put you to sleep. Wonderful experience listening to this today. Thank you. Your videos are my lifeline to continued sailing adventures since my mate is gone and I am getting old. Fair winds to all.
Guys, this is pure joy! Thank you :)
What a pleasant slice of serenity in this crazy fast world.
TED Talks are awesome.. Have been watching them for years!!
Excellent. I just fell asleep and had the best nap i've had in years. This was like those "water trickling" meditation clips. Cool how the brain works.
My new falling asleep video. Lazy river ride⛵️ 👍🏼
Sorry guys, I’m a follower since the beginning greatest job you do apreciate
Honest sailing experience we all know and love: standing at the helm for hours keeping course, watching the waves, chilling. Great idea, well executed.
Just very cool beens! The wilderness as it is! So glad you could experience it and then share with the world! More important than you know.....
great for finding your center , relaxation or just kicking back and being in the moment Thank you
ASMR Delos style, YESSS!!! This is the absolute, best way to start off my Monday at work.
Hah. I'm a fan of slow TV ever since I saw footage somebody shot from the bow of a canal boat. Well done. I'm putting some time aside to experience this on a big screen. Thanks for all your efforts and greetings from Cornwall, uk!
Can't believe I'm watching this whole thing. It's amazing though!!!!!!! Takes nads to "experiment" like this. Glad you have 'em. :)) What a fascinating place. So peaceful. Thank you.
Haven't watched most of it yet, but it feels as if I'm aboard. Love all the jungle sounds and the occasional movements by one of the crew. Very relaxing and so different from the little snippets we normally see.
Boaaaaaaaaaahhhhh !!! What a cool idea. Love your movies. THANKS ALL OF YOU.
Very cool! I wouldn't have thought this would be entertaining, but it is. You truly feel like you're along for the ride.
I have a friend that does nature sound recordings professionally like ocean waves, rainfall, wind in the forest, etc. He also did a 24 hours recording to highlight the different noises at certain times of the day in our rainforest. I think this is a good idea just for the different creature sounds in the jungle. BTW, these types of natural sounds (without human voices) does wonders for children with Autism who have a difficult time relaxing or sleeping. Many parents swear by these recordings. Well done, You guys are always doing such cool things.
I love this. Kinda reminds me of our ride up the Amazon river on an old Amazon boat with a thatched roof. Very peaceful. Thank you for what must have been a challenge to up load. I think I have to buy you some more beer.
So peaseful and calm,,,, I think I'd be at the highest point of the mast I could be to see everything !¡!!! This video is just awesome and so relaxing !!!!¡¡!! Love u guys !!!!!!!!!
'When the crickets are louder than your diesel engine, you might just need some earplugs'
Jeff Foxworthy, 1996
After a while of it running it the background on tablet, I start to pay attention more noticing the twists of the river and birds and am transported. Beautiful.
Nice that's an excellent idea on the tablet I think.
Format has been in use in N. European countries (Norway, Finland, Sweden, etc.) for many years: Trains, etc. Your film is very immersive and relaxing. Thanks.
I put on my headphones and melted into French Guiana. For 3 hours and 40 minutes, I imagined myself sitting on the deck of delos just listening to the world happening around me.
This piece of film proves..that sometimes “less is best”
Encapsulating work!
As long as it isn't captivating, 'cause like that would be too much...
Thank you... these moments of peaceful bliss explain the excitement that you enjoy when your other videos only capture those moments. Cannot have one without the other or joy will no longer be as effective, or solitude would become boring. Nice experiment, personally I don't mind being a test subject...it should be an option for anyone that needs to reconnect with a very real but ellusive reality.
I've heard of these long, real time, peaceful videos. If I remember correctly there's a channel that runs them exclusively in some Scandinavian country. Sunday Morning on CBS did a piece with the producer(s) a number of months ago.
Now, all I have to do is find 3 hours to watch it. ?? It'll be interesting to have the experience. But I'm a bit worried that someone may find me dead.
The cause?
Very clearly, . . .
an overdose
of SV Delos! : - O
(haha, I'm a poet and didn't know it!) : - )
Norwegian state broadcasting (NRK) did this for the first time a decade ago or so, with a legendary cruise ship running up and down the Norwegian coast. I think they were the first doing this. Later they also did it with trains and a channel boat going from the coast to inland Norway, very spectacular. It became a very popular thing. It's possible to find it on YT I would think.
australian tv recently did one with the ghan railroad journey 2979km long
Andy Warhol filmed the Empire State Building in New York City with one camera for 8 hours in 1969. th-cam.com/video/PuSIOK5Jj8g/w-d-xo.html
Almost fell asleep on this one. Reminds me of those long trips down the bayou whenever we headed out to the gulf. At one point you lose sight of civilization and find yourself alone with nature. Just a camp here and there with nobody home.
As a tinnitus suffers I accidentally found real benefits from the audio as a masking audio therapy, using earphones and keeping audio levels slightly above tinnitus background level, reducing volume as tinnitus ringing subsides.
I'm putting it on the Big Screen HD and walking around like Im one of Delos lol
this would make great VR like if you could pan 360 and go about the ship
Try wearing speedos at the same time for a more immersive experience
Awesome! The fixed camera/s catching everything vs "racing through paradise" view. Perhaps 4 cameras on a split screen: Helm, Bow, Spreaders looking at the deck and one below decks that can be turned to the action, galley, table or hatch :-) The serenity of sailing vs the action packed pace. Cool :-)
Excellent idea!!! Loving it so far. Please keep doing them!
Beautiful! I enjoyed every second! thank you.
Love this! Do more like this as if we are a passenger on-board, watching the daily going ons.
Ruffy Rios ... but if I have to bend over past the hull to go number 2, then it’s on my carpet and couch.
Been enjoying sailing up the Maroni River from my office. People stopping by and are enjoying the journey. Think this is a great experiment!
super nice. I am going to play this on the big screen during our first snowstorm! thnk you.
Hell yeah, DelosTV!!! Thank you so much guys!
Thank you very much for this video!! This is amazing, this is like these hours long video of train rides. If I could I would literally pay for this nice film.
Rough un-edited video of 3 hours and 40min?! YES!
I like this.
If you actively watch it, I think it's what a watch would be like :
You're forced to slow down, and your watch is eventless - most of the time
41 minutes in and I love it. I live by a highway (not far from Avalon Park btw) and all I hear at night is cars blasting by so I usually just put the TV on with music. I much prefer this as white noise. We want to do exactly this in 2 years when our son graduates, but on a trawler cuz we are older. Great idea and please do one with sunrise and set when you do the ones out at sea.
I like this! Partying is fun, Sightseeing is cool but this is Unique. It actually show the process not to mention boat handling etc etc... You guy's should definitely do this when you out open ocean sailing, especially when you know your going to be doing alot of sail changes, that would be fascinating if not educational! Again, Excellent Idea!
Also, in the beginning i kept waiting for you to get to that bridge, i finally realized that is your spreader.....lol
Thank you for this beautiful video!
I spent 3 years working in Guiana at the space center and spent whatever spare time I had hiking the rain forest or taking my kayak up the amazing jungle rivers. I have many hours of gopro footage but they are more shaky than yours! ;-)
My favorite sailing crew in the most beautiful country I have ever seen! Hell yeah! I'll have a beer on that and actually just bought you some, too!
I would appreciate videos like this every now and then!
Cheers
I'd be hooked on a straight run passage sailing say gopro on the mizzen above the coach roof looking forward - gimbled.
That roaring 40's passage when you went back to Madagascar be cool.
I love being a 'stowaway' on your many adventures... :) and when I get my finances sorted, would love to shout you all a few drinks.Unfortunately I recently suffered a stroke and adapting to the change in lifestyle and minimal 'disability pension' doesn't afford me much disposable income...cheers crew of SV Delos for these 20 or so minutes of escapism, you all rock!
As a keyboard sailor I really enjoyed being able to watch this as it gave me a real perspective of how it truly is to sail. I appreciate your willingness to experiment and thanks for the awesome video. Also, I could probably fall asleep to this ...hahah
And now, instead of sitting in a cubicle in a drab windowless office writing programs I can sit back and watch the river go by, hear the jungle and almost smell the fresh air. I'm on Delos and the stress is melting away...
