- While waiting for a weather window before sailing around the western tip of cuba, we take a short trip North East to explore what we’ve heard to be an untouched reef system. Along the way we are caught off guard by several unexpected challenges caused by the microclimate of Cuba.

The mizzens main function is to keep you balanced, it's a steering sail more than anything else, also when going upwind there's this concept called slotting which comes from tall ships where they figured out that many small sails can be more effective upwind than one larger one because of how aero foils interact with each other and increase efficiency, like how a good staysail can give you such a big boost if set inside of a big Genoa, if you get your mizzen set just right in relation to the other sails it can make steering really really easy
You guys are always so positive, even when things suck, and things go wrong, and you’re feeling sick....you’re a great example for others to follow. It’s all about attitude, life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Keep it up guys...you’re life is awesome and always will be as long as you keep your positive attitudes going.
Desiree is a regular ol Salty Sailor by now! Love to watch your adventures and growth! Not just video quality but also gaining comfort and confidence in your sailing ability! Thank you for sharing!
Nice episode guys. When anchoring in grass, beware of plowing sod. Always pull as hard as you can, before trusting the set.
supper happy with your haircut! lol! Thanks guys I wait with baited breath for your next installment!
"Responsible Indiana Jones Hat" I friggin' died! That was hilarious dude. "You can get this wet and it doesn't deform" LOL... Milleniana Jones!" Love you guys. My boat shopping begins in 2 weeks!
Haha! Glad you liked that one - Jordan is really happy you thought that was funny! Wohoo! Great to hear you’ll be boat shopping soon! Keep us updated!
That’s was petty funny...”I’m the only dweeb..” lol. I have a hat like that, and it’s cool...😎
Why would anyone thumbs down this video. They're living a dream and just telling you their story. If you don't like it just leave. You probably don't have the balls to do what they're doing anyway.
I can't believe what a good sport Desiray is about being seasick all the time!! What a trooper!!!
I'm glad you made a good sail out of the day, even if the conditions wern't the best for you!
Your analysis of the current weather expectations and ensuing sail adjustments were great.
Congrats on hitting 40,000 subscribers Coop & Des!!
Thanks Josh!!!
I appreciate the detailed descriptions of all nautical stuff. Keep it up!
A good practice with boats is ahead one off. 10ft ahead and 3 ft off. Works well. Kinda paints a picture for the captain. Awesome video guys.
No doubt, one of the best UA-cam sailing channels. Keep up the good work!
Yes, these two do a great job!
Definitely!
I found the Delos channel through a 'living offgrid' interview and spent the last month watching all their videos. After wanting more, I found these two as well as watching quite a few other 'cruising' channels but the others just dont cut it.
Jordan & Desiree have good camera work with consistently good sound (the amount of other channels who have terrible sound and no grasp that it ruins it) and great editing so the story doesnt lose momentum, its a joy to watch their adventures.
I love your travels. Great assessment of your navigation. Currents definitely make a huge difference and will set you considerably, especially in light air.
Like lots of others said..
The first person sailing and charting walk through, along with great events, b-roll and music... one of the best channels. hands down.
Cool videos guys....I am totally addicted to your videos!
Less than a week til I move aboard my 35 ft ketch in PR and heading south before hurricane season...retired and heading to sea. Good luck with the new boat!
Great video. Nice to see you guys enjoying yourselves. Jordan, you are The Sailor Man! You know just what to do for the conditions you have. Look how far Desire' has come as a sailor. I'm proud of you! I'm not sure if I mentioned this to you guys before, but have you considered hammocks below deck? Especially when it's rough or rolly? Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! Looking forward to your next video!
You are experiencing the Coriolis effect and Eddies effect. We see this a lot in aviation. It makes landing difficult at times. Also remember, the cool kids are wearing Tilley!
You two make a great team.
You buds are fantastic, I really like it that you are making the most of every opportunity and exploring as much as you can even when waiting for your weather windows. The mighty Atticus really slips along and looks great under sail. I’m sure that rum is as good as if not better than cash , but please make sure you sample at least a couple for yourselves. Would be a real shame to be trading with a bad batch. ( although I am not sure there has ever been a bad batch in the history of Havana Club ) still though , best to be sure your product is good. I look forward to watching more. Jordan you gotta get yourself some pirate pants man and a bandana. You could even pull off a captain Dan if that was your thing. The only bad thing about this video is that I have now watched it all the way to the end and there is no more until next week. Safe travels buds.
The Corbin 39 "Tangaroa V" is one of two Corbins finished by Swifty in New Hampshire...ours was the other one...unfortunately we lost her during hurricane Michael last October...I am not sure if you went inside her but Swifty did an amazing finish job. Anyway, it is bittersweet seeing her. Love your videos.
Jeff Tracy Hey there I just came across your post and didn’t know anything about the name Swifty or New Hampshire, I’m not sure if you are even looking but I’m letting the boat go. Plans have changed , I just made it to Bocas Del toro, Panama. If nothing else I would really like to learn a little more about the boats History. I’m not sure how to continue this dialogue elsewhere. Cheers! And Jordan I’m glad you didn’t cut out the responsible Indiana Jones Hat! Lol
Nice episode Buds. I like how Jordan explained everything.
If you ain't learning you ain't living.... Every day is a school day. Love it
Great cruising, guys !!!!
Just love your show , many thanks for sharing your wonderful life with us ...👌👌👌❤️❤️🌺
best sailing video I've seen in a long time. you explained everything and showed us the chart you where using . Thank you
my wife and I envy you two, love the videos just started watching 1 month ago be safe and keep up the good work
A big thumbs up another great video and Desiree is looking beautiful as always I hate that she gets seasick sometimes but I'm glad it's getting better maybe there's some over-the-counter medicine that would help her with that so she doesn't get seasick but the boat's looking beautiful and so is the Anchorage can't wait until next week when we see y'all do some Reef diving be safe have a great rest of the week
Awesome Sunset! One of my favorite things about watching you Buds...you really know how to capture great footage. 👍
Cuba looks very chill, the sea life at the bottom of the last anchorage looks really healthy. Im looking forward to some great diving (spear fishing) in next week's episode.
Hi guys.....can’t wait to see some more diy stuff in the coming vids....well and beer of course
Really Good information there 11:15 for us old non sailors 👍😎
You guys have put a bunch of sailing miles on Atticus and I am sure you know the boat super well by now but the only thing I noticed from the video is that you may have your outhaul a bit tight and the sail is pretty flat. Sometimes giving the sail a bit more belly can gain you a bit of extra speed depending on windspeed and condtions, could be something to play with if you haven't..
Another entertaining and well produced video. You guys are on a roll. Keep up the great work! Why do the wind charts use little hockey sticks and "F"s instead of just using arrows? I'll have to google that, methinks. Until next time! 👍
Soooo...I watch sailing channels for sailing. You buds gave me that today. Awesome.
Hi Guys, way behind on your videos but the good thing is now i have 13 videos to watch 👍👍👍
Heck of a swell at that dock. And, yes, Too much docking help. I agree, we tie ourselves up with less excitement most of the time. Enjoyed your video.
How true Jordan. DON’T trust those on the dock with your lines when docking. Crazy tack when close hauling, it does seems to be going backwards. Cheers 🍻
AWESOME VIDEO guys. I really like how you explain now the wind around the Island changes sailing. Be safe out there, see you next week....😀😀
I really enjoyed that video. True sailing and you just walked us through it. What a beautiful sunset.
Ok, that end bit had me ROTFL....lol
You know that if you sailed a catamaran your seasickness would just about disapear.
My wife was the same way, we chartered a catamaran and dicovered that she didnt get seasick. In conditions that would have done her in on our monohull. We are converted cat sailors now and wouldnt switch back.
As soon as you start to feel the on set of sea sickness, go out on deck, sit amidship on the windward side (wind in your face) and keep your eyes focused on the horizon.
Might be a good idea to have your harness and clipped onto the jack line. ( should always be doing that btw but ....)
Hi guys, I am watching episode after episode and just cant stop watching. You guys are awesome! I enjoy your adventures so much. Thanx for being awesome🤗🏝⛵ Regards from South Africa
truly enjoyed your video and storytelling
🙏 thank you!! ⛵
You guys are great! Totally enjoy your episodes. Thank you for keeping it real.
Great video.... love the Buds !!!!!
Great job guys! 👍
I am sure that if you had looked at the compass heading before after your tack, the difference would have been closer to 90-100 degrees than 125 degrees.
I like your videos and the way you approach the live aboard life, Cheers, Richard
You guys are great! Jordan's haircut is growing on me :-)
thnx again for giving me a big smile with this episode 🌎⛵️☀️🌴
Thank you for this episode. I have plotted going this course for weeks and it’s good to know what I’m looking at.
That was so much fun,, ThanX crew.......
Wow another great episode with you guys. Love it!!!
I love this channel! Jordan remembers me Dave Foley from the Kids in the Hall!
Underwater shots were amazing
I get it now... thx .. ya wind at 40mph put your hand out is apparent..
So nice! You guys are blessed being able to be out there sailing.
Thanks for sharing, we enjoy watching you two do what you do. Cheers!
The more I watch you guys the more I need to do this someday.
Looking forward to seeing the south coast from your perspective.
Great video guys.
"If you're not learnin'...you're not livin'."
Live and learn...it's all good...and excellent advice.
Hey guys, I love your channel. The hard work and dedication you put into each episode is awesome. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Cheers...
Great video, glad yall made it safely to Cuba i think youll enjoyd it there. Well have fun and be safe
Cheap rum and a good pure sailing episode. Be safe.
Enjoyed the sailing discussion
your sail theory is awesome to hear ... keep it up
Nice vid you guys, fun to watch although Miss D gave me a scare when jumping off to fend the bow! Keep up the great work & "atticutude" my friends. Jim - SV Kampeska
We are always grateful when someone tries to help us dock, but Steve and I have a process and sometimes the extra hand gets in the way.
Jordan is such a Wind nerd! 🤣. Hope there is Gin in that tonic!
Ah you found the willing shore helper, more so, in this video, lol. Everybody wants to help a sailor.
Holy Moley! I can see why I didn't get into sailing. Lot's of technical jargon. Engines seem so much simpler!! I can't believe the Vikings went out to sea in those crude (to me) heavy, wooden, one sail, castaway looking floater. But than I guess that is the romance.
Jordan,, Love the Hat!! looks like a Tilley! the old one was getting a little rough! LOL
Ah casanova dude. Yall keep impressing.
Lazy jacks⛵️👌
Good one.
Good music this episode👍
Awesome video Buds!
You guys are looking fit, that active lifestyle and constantly working is looking good! 👍
Question.......What is you two's favorite boating movie?
Mine is White Squal with Jeff Bridges!
White squal is pretty awesome! We also liked beyond the west horizon and Jean Du Sud Around The World. We also recently watched “wind” which was fun.
@@ProjectAtticus I have not heard of any of those. I'll have to check them out. Thank you!
Hello Atticus Crew,
Yuk, looks like someone dropped a turd bomb on the Ocean floor at 19:29 . The Cuban dude on the Dock had more muscle than Brains. Maybe the fore mentioned turd bomb, was his brains. Keep an eye out for the up coming Hurricane Season, Love Y'all.
Fun video. I'm looking at a allied mk2 cutter, I hope it passes muster
We met Alex in Isla Mujeres, great guy!
Sweet~
re 125° tack - this is for sure the leeway because you sail very close to the wind. Except if the current is exactly against you. With a modern production catamaran probably you wouldn’t be able to tack below 135-140°
When yall leave the sail boat on the water and yake the small boat in land do yall worry about someone taking the sailboat or stealing yalls things just wondering new subscriber love the videos and the view she is a beaitiful woman must be amazing out on the water just yall
Could you have put it forward and turn the helm to starboard, to get the stern pushed up against dock? Assuming that the bow line was held in place?
Nice....🌎⛵😍🌞🌴🎊🎊🙌
Every woman in the world: "Damn, I wish I could rock boy-shorts like Desiree."
Great video as always. Love the music, who is it by?
Just a question... Are those lines holding up your solar panels not shading the panel and costing you energy?
Love your channel!
Nice couple. s/v ...Waves
You just described sea sickness the way my daughters mom described being pregnant.
Jordan, do you encounter floating debris that could cause damage during your travels?
Who ever hit the thumbs down button must of fell & hit their head, really hard!
*must've fallen :)

Oh no, the spelling police 🤤 I stand erected.....
Richard Myhan : it’s called English grammar, not spelling
sietuuba : amazing how few people know how to speak or write correctly 👍
@@frankd2301 It sure is... and English isn't even my first language; it's the second or third. Maybe that's why I care because I actually wanted to learn it.
Team Desiree!
What brand is that muscle driven anker winch u have? Can not find any here in Norway - everything is electric..

You say you get sea sick sometimes, why don't you stock up on Dramamine??!!
молодци!!!
Was Alex sailing solo on a 39 ft boat ????? That's impressive. I agree with you guys about the 30 - 32 range.
Indiana Jordan, Nah!!
