previously on delos! not knowing anything about rigging the boys give delos a new rig while at the dock. what are you guys up to? we're writing a shopping list. a massive shopping list. for like 6 months! and we're putting it in categories. really? it's that big. what categories do you have so far? we've got dry goods, other stuff, cleaning products, toiletries... and snacks! you gotta have snack one. spices and sauces, that's a very important one. peanut butter! hey hey everybody! while half of the crew was changing the rig the rest of us went provisioning. we already bought heaps of stuff in malaysia but it was now time for a final massive provisioning. our goal was to leave thailand with enough food to last us for 6 months. let's do this people!

do we have any more white flour left? yeah. i think we have like 8 packs or something. so we could just get like 100, or another big pack of earl grey. and then like a big pack of green tea. well how many bottles of alcohol we drink per month so we can figure out how much sugar we need. because that's mainly what we use sugar for. and then we have to include some baking. how many bottles of alcohol will we go through a month? 10 we think so far... if not more! i would say like 15. so if we do 10 bottles a month.... so yeah. 6 kilos. 40 kg's of sugar for 6 months. just for the alcohol. so we're off to do our first provisioning run!

oh man, it's fricking hot. we're sweating a lot. and we're going to go to makro which is like a bulk food store. big provisioning! so we're gonna see our cruiser car now. and because when you rent a car you can either get like a regular car or a cruiser car. and a cruiser car is way better. no power steering, no ac. yeah. it's usually a piece of shit from what i've heard but it's cheap. and it's exactly what we need. it's a nice car. it's the upgrade. f*uck yeah look at that thing. i haven't driven a manual in a while!

let's do this! ummm. so we're at our first stop. this is makro which like a bulk foods store. yes! you can see the trolley's ahead. like they're massive. so we're gonna try to find heaps of stuff. this is our first stop but like 4 or 5 stops to go to. so this is the start. but we have a list. so we're gonna go and get some canned foods first. we're gonna come back here a few times. we don't have a lot of space in the car so we're gonna start with that and then check out if they have any good snacks here too. snacks!!! that's our mission! see you in a bit! okay.

babs and i. we're on the dry goods. oh shit it's backwards no it's not! dry goods. okay so we're gonna go this way. perfect! ah to the left, here. this is what we need mate! big packs of rice. so here we are at makro in phucket and we're actually meant to be filming in here so we're trying to be real hush-hush about it. so we need 30 kg's of rice. that's like 15 bucks. ha ha, for 30 kilos of rice. and that's feeding 7 people for 6 months.

and we've got 10 of these! tea for brady's kombucha. yeesss! this store is f**cking awesome! yeah so we can't pay with credit card apparently so we're trying to find an atm to get 32,000 baht to pay with. and yeah, let's go! we tried to withdraw enough cash but our daily limit didn't allow us not our day today! so you're not allowed to film in there unfortunately. we're been for about 3 hours now f**ck tired. and apparently or unfortunately they didn't take card either.

so we had to like scramble together all our cash. i don't know. we got it paid and we're outta here! let's get the f**ck out of here! it felt insane to buy so much food. funny thing is though when we made our shopping list we kind of half guessed the quantity we needed for everything. but at the store we followed the list religiously. round 1 check! put your feet in here i think we can fit you. hi karin! that was a f**cking shit show mate!

yeah. she's pointing something. what? i think our car is too low or something is falling out. open up the door. what? are we too low? i don't know. oh flat tire! f**ck! oh my god! you're kidding me. mate! it's not flat. it's defenitely not flat. i think we just need air. nothing is working for us today. so we just pretty much all of the heavy shit out. of the car, all the cans and stuff. and um.

we're gonna go to the gas station and get some air in the tire and then come back, put everything in and see if it's okay. thank you! it works i think. we rented this today. f*cking cruiser car. that's a cruiser car! sweet, yeah perfect. yeah thumbs up. so now we're gonna go. oh thank god! so now we're go and eat something cause we're f**cking starving. the car is full of stuff. and it's now night time. we are tired! so we just putting everything into

the boat. and i'm sweating 'cause it's like 8,000 degrees in here. and yeah, it's a hot one! the next morning we spent hours trying to organize our shopping. even though delos has a lot of storage space this was pushing it. it was only the beginning. and we were a bit scared everything wasn't going to fit. especially since we bought over a thousand beers in langkawi. yep, that's how we roll. beers first, survival later. hello there! hi! i'm making pancakes for breakfast. so we have pancakes, swedish style. and i got some strawberries as well.

we're just putting all the cans away. we bought like 400 cans. f**cking mission! yeah so we also managed to get, um, to use the freezer for the restaurant so we chucked all of the rice in there today which is good so we're gonna go back today and buy some more flour and stuff which we also need to freeze. which is awesome, 'cause we don't really have much space in our freezer. and why do you freeze them? because the eggs from the bugs are already in the package. so they will hatch and then you have like instead of rice you have a full bag of black bugs. we want to avoid that happening. so many tourists!

the highlight of the day going provisioning is getting in the car with ac we're gonna get um toiletries like 150 rolls of toilet paper. 100 boxes of milk. and all the other random crap that we didn't get last time. that was our 3rd provisioning round and we still need more. yeah we're stil not ready yet. so we have a lot of stuff. so now we're just going back so the boys can help us unpack and everything. in the v-berth we put all cereal stuff. sugar and flour

some snacks and a lot of nuts. and as you can see all cubbards were full. brady and josje even had to clear out some of their things to fit it all. ready to go to the store. um, yes, yes very ready! none of us slept good for the whole good for the whole week. it was sooo hot in the marina with no wind. and of course when we could have used the ac it stopped working. my favorite time of the day was showering at the marina restrooms 'cause it had both ac and awesome showers. it saved me that week! (music- summer of '69) we tried to buy toilet paper for the whole trip, but it takes up a lot of space. we decided

that we were only allowed to use 1 square per time. you gotta plan ahead! so i think we did pretty good! i mean i don't think we need to get much else apart from so i think we did pretty good! i mean i don't think we need to get much else apart from.... and we still need like some dried fruit and that kind of stuff. yup. and chick peas. we were so lucky to be anchored in the marina when doing our last provisioning. imagine this load of stuff on dinghy rides back and forth. it saved us sooo much time! by the way, here's the complete shopping list unedited!

we're here to pick up some stuff. okay. yeah i have to go a lot of times though back and forth. cause it's like a large pack. is he there? yeah. okay, would it be better if we come back tomorrow? shall we come back tomorrow is that better for you? morning time. morning yep. we'll come back tomorrow morning. okay. let's go to the other place that's where we have most of it anyway. we have some stuff in your freezer. pasta and rice. rice? yes. so we just are coming to get it. 4 days ago we put it in your freezer.

oh there he is! hi, hello! thank you so much! come on karin let's go! come on karin let's go! hey hey hey! pick up the pace ladies! pick it up! pick it up! what are you doing max? taping. taping what? chips! to the wall, or under my bed. this is my bed and this is my secret stash. nice! we made it! man, that was a lot of hard work. you guys helped us through it though.

you had been buying us beer so brian had a surprise for the last night. japanese sushi all you can eat buffet with drinks! we got so excited! 7 hungry sailors and two hours to eat as much as we could. i could not believe we were done shopping. the boat was defenitely lower leaving the marina then when we had arrived. we counted that we had bought 25 trolleys of food this week. where did we put it all? i had never bought that much food in my life. what a unique experience though. now max had learned yet another new part of the sailing lifestyle.

and preperation and teamwork is super important. next up on delos! we meet a local expat that owns a mexican restaurant. we go to a ping-pong show. and get ready to sail to india!
