- Since we bought Atticus, we've dreamed of sailing to Panama to transit the Panama Canal and cross the Pacific. We've come a long way since our first fiberglass fix, our first passage, our first storm and our first argument as captain and mate. In this episode, we finally sail to Panama and are forced to confront a daunting wall of lighting that we have to sail through while Jordan struggles with seasickness.

What I like is reading all the well deserved kind encouraging comments. It’s a nice change of pace from many other channels. These episodes start and end my days are just what o need.
Desiree is one valuable crew member......the beauty just comes as a bonus....Jordan is one lucky man... kudos for both of you...
Awesome! Just awesome. I love these episodes. Fantastic job, Buds. ;-) Thanks for sharing.
OMG! Desire nailed it. When I first started watching you two she was very timid. Now outgoing and VERY confident! Love to see the growth of you both! Keep Living To The Fullest Atticus Family!!!

You guys really are amazing.....no furling gear, no self-tailing winches, no watermaker, etc, all on a relatively small boat. An inspiration to many I'm sure! Just shows what can be accomplished with grit, determination, a great attitude & a love of adventure.
I know I don’t have any right to be, but I am SO proud of you two. Not just of what you’re doing, but of who you’re being. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. x
One of my favorite episodes. Always happy and positive. I hope you both realize. If either of you were missing from your postings. It would be miserable for us all! Great couple having a great time and sharing happiness. Thank you!
Hey mate (buddy), your words of wisdom at the end were pure gold and good onya: “Time and time again we find ourselves in challenging and difficult situations, but we have learnt that if just hold out and push through to the other side, the rewards are always worth the struggle. Each time we face our fears and each time we accept our discomfort we become a little bit stronger”.
I’m so impressed with your story and how you’re sharing it effectively with the world. Keep up the great work!!!
I watch a few cruising channels. I’ve come to believe yours is the only real one. You tell a great story. Thanks for all you do for us arm chair sailors!
I’ve said it before I love y’all because you don’t over produce or over edit your content. I feel like we grow with you. Nice people living a dream, very cool!
You guys are amazing and inspirational. Wishing you many more Happy Days and safe sailing ahead!
I love what your doing. I came to Belize in 1966 thinking somehow I would do what you to are doing, but it has been good watching your videos. One thing I advise is stay at it while your young enough to enjoy it.
You two should be very proud of yourselves. I love your joint dedication to each other, Sticktoitiveness and safety at all times i9n all conditions. Those are great safety lines you have to clip on to your PFD's and you use them. Congratulations ! ! !
When I first reported the board ship out of Charleston, South Carolina in my Navy days, I never got sick. I thought I had some sea legs. In about 3 years in when it hit head really hit hard. In fact, it happened just south of where you are. Just east of Argentina. Love you both. Keep up the good work. And your focus.
Bocas is such a cool town...I was there 5 years ago sailing the islands and thought I was back in the 70's with the people, clothes and music...what t throw back...
This has to be my favourite episode so far. You always give a real sense of the feelings and emotions of the serious cruising life. Just captivating being along for the journey!
You have every reason to be proud of yourself! You both are very strong and capable young people. I never had the courage to do what you are doing, and I so enjoy seeing it and feeling it through your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work!
If you have to think about reefing, do it! Good call Desiree. It’s much easier to shake out a reef than putting one in under adverse conditions. You guys have come a long way. With every passage you become more knowledgeable and stronger. Welcome to Panama 🇵🇦. Cheers 🍻
A few months ago, I voiced support for you anxiety because I’ve dealt with it a lot too. Since then, you have settled so many fears as have I. You are doing great Desiree.
I wish I knew about my REAL options for life before finishing school. I'm making sure my boys see videos like this so they can find their true passion in life and not just focus on getting a 9 to 5 someday
Yes Desiree. Very impressive. Cudos to you both x
Loved her sigh of relief when she experienced the best part of cruising. Shutting down the engine. Cute. Your presentations are showing a vast amount of improvement. This was one of your best making reference to anticipating bad weather conditions and highlighting Lynn Pardey. You two are very refreshing humans.
Your videos are soo real and have this wonderful feeling to them, like you are sharing your inner speech with us as you go through the days. I love it.
Hey guys! Fellow cruiser and vid maker here, just wanted to say nice video, maybe we'll see you out on the big blue someday! Keep it up!
Great video giving us a glimpse again of the ups and downs of life as a blue water sailor. Just as in all of life, there are those challenging moments that once through, give us strength. Thanks for sharing...
You both summed it up pretty well at the end of this episode. It’s all worth the trials and tribulations of cruising the seas-when you finally get to the other side and the stress is relieved. And I agree, you become stronger. You certainly demonstrate that. How I wish I had set the same goals-as you did-a long time ago. Keep it up guys. We all are pulling for you.
So proud of you guys Bud 1 and Bud 2, thank you so much for the inspiration and education through the magical places you go.
Such real content.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
👍👍👍
as funny as this comment sounds, I love the fact that you addressed sea sickness! That has been the one thing that I've always wondered with all these sailing channels. It always looks so fun and adventurous but no one shows the salty sea dogs getting sick, it's always the guests. So it's nice to see you are also human and that it does come with the territory. Just makes me feel more realistic.
Everybody probably knows this, but
Its caused by the movement which your inner ear registers, especially if the eyes do not see the same movement.
So in order to prevent it, watch in the direction you are going. Horizon and incoming waves.
Dont read or anything, bc that will greatly increase the chances of getting seasick. (no moviewatching, no computerwork, etc)
Better not lay down, unless you really have to. Close your eyes and focus on the movement.
Caught myself with a big smile while watching you all dancing at the end...fun times.
😂 that's awesome!! ⛵
What a great edit ! I love watching your videos and always look forward to new ones. My wife and I are planning to do the same as soon as our daughter finishes school . Keep up the amazing job and I wish you guys safe travels.😊
One of your best yet! Loved watching you awake to the smell of Earth before the sunrise near Panama. 🚣🌤️👍💯
Great video. Enjoy Panama - fantastic place - good food, beer, rum, and a fantastic history and rich culture. Fair winds!
I first watched last year when 6 weeks at home after a foot operation. Kept me distracted and sane. Now catching up this year due to Covid lockdown.
Desire has grown as a confident sailing woman, immensely. Very impressed. Jordan seems calmer and way more relaxed. More of an equal/earned partnership now.
Don't get too thin, Jordan.
Another passage done, and hopefully many more to come!! Stay happy and safe!
You guys are doing great!
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Blog... Thanks and Blessings.
Jordan is like yeah whatever "let's get backing and get ready for tomorrow"....lol
So much to like about this video. So real. Well done guys!
Ok you two this was an amazing video,again. Great journey and story. Wonderful editing and choice of music and Jordan your wisdom by words expressing your feelings has come along ways. What a wonderful sight to see. Adventure on biddies. Thank you for sharing this dream trip.
thanks for saying that Mark! this is actually one of my favorite videos too 😁 hope you're healthy and safe wherever you are! -Desiree
Sailing Project Atticus thank you Desiree for your fast response. I am well. We are getting tired of the walls around us but on we march. This virus isn’t as bad as the media says. Sun, good diet and the ocean are all in your favor. If you two ever make up to Newport Beach California I can be of help around town. I’ve spent 45 years sailing, mostly racing and some distant deliveries which is why I so enjoy your journey and UMA’s as well. Sail on and have fair winds !! 😎
Another excellent episode, I love that you share the ups and downs, the anxieties and the rewards, thank you!
At about 5 minutes and in other spots in this episode it looks like Jordan has his spare tether hook snapped back onto the harness rings. You don't want to do this. The harness end of the tether is a quick-release snap shackle, but if you hook the spare tether to your harness you'll still be connected to the boat with no way to release under load. Short lanyard loop on the bail of the snap shackle gives you a convenient place to put the boat ends of the tethers when they're not clipped in.
on the one hand I was impressed that they're so safety conscious, on the other, I was wondering if there is a quick release in the event the boat ends up turned over. I don't know anything about the equipment.
@@MsDebs73 There is a quick release on the harness end, difficult to see in the video. But the blue clips are not designed to release under load so they should only be attached to the boat, not the harness rings.
I’m almost at a loss for words. You guys rock. More please.
😁😁 Thanks GPK?
Hello Desire and Jordan, you two did it again. Spectacular video, you are my rock stars of sailing adventures! I love the way you add value to your videos. You have a special flavor and mix hard to find. You are the best, keep up doing it this way and there will be no limit for you. I send you my very best regards and hope to meet you personally someday. See you next week.
Hi guys!! We’re watching your latest episode, and I just want to compliment you on the great work that you did building your hardtop dodger. It’s awesome 😎
Really appreciate your observations and insights on cruising. As always, thanks for sharing. And at the risk of sounding condescending...we are proud of you too.
So good you guys very well done!!!! 🙌
Feeling bummed out after workin' in the cubicle today. But now I feel better after watching your adventure tonight with my honey keepin' me warm. Thanks for sharing your experience so well. 🙂
Watching your videos every Thursday morning makes my sitting around at the office in a walled in room more enjoyable. Now if we can just incorporate the warmth and smells of your travels come through the youtube channel that would be perfect...keep up the great work!
both got great attitudes, thats what lifes all about
This is one of my favorite videos
Nice !!! Thanks for sharing Capt.
Great vid Guys. A message for us all.......keep going, push through, get stronger and wiser.
This is probably the best episode I've seen from any sailing channel on UA-cam - and I've seen a lot.
Impressed guys. You do a great channel.
Thanks guys for visit part of my country Colombia , Providencia Island
I think people miss out on growing with a person through difficult times
They get frustrated instead of understanding this will make there love even stronger
Sticking things out over coming the hard times
Is the feeling of accomplishment
Becoming so close to your partner and best friend
You can trust them with your life ...you guys are awesome ❤️
I second that emotion 👍
Probably my new favorite video from you guys! I really enjoyed how each of you expressed and demonstrated that though cruising offshore can be challenging and scary at times, the reward of eating onion rings, meeting up with friends, and dancing in paradise makes it all worth it, and makes you stronger! Looking forward to meeting you both at the Annapolis Boat Show!
in the lockdown am hooked to your channel - binge watching
You guys are the Best. Saying it like it is and living life as it comes!
Keep having fun. 🇺🇸⛵
You guys will love the Pacific...”You walk in to a store and everyone says good morning”. I still get on busses, whether it be in New York City or some small little place in the Indian Ocean and say good morning to everyone...In many places they look at me like I’m nuts. I don’t care...I think it’s a beautiful thing, so I will always do it...thank you Pacific Islanders!
Love watching you guys...you bring tears to my eyes remembering the places you are now both geographically and personally, that we were at 10 years ago. And you are right...the slower you go, the more enjoyable it becomes. We are 12 years out now and only halfway around the world...and we are going slower and slower and slower. I love it! Enjoy...I wish I could give 10 thumbs up! -Rebecca
In this video toward the end the sound of a motor running. Even though you were under sail were you also running your motor to generate electricity or turning the prop to give that extra bit of push along. And thanks for showing your instruments, always interested in what they show. Thank you for the video, truly excellent viewing.
You guys are doing a terrific job! Thanks for sharing.
awesome video! I would love to hear about the hard top you have...looks really good and super functional. - Vin & Amy
Amazing statement at the end a facing fear and pushing through.
It's a joy watching following your adventures. What an awesome couple you are, so sweet and fun. I smile non stop while watching your channel.
Stay safe, happy Sailing!🌏❤⛵⛵☀️🍹☀️😊
Jordon - "I gotta go milk Betsy (certain hang gestures are made)" Desiree - "Is that what you call it?" LOL I love your videos! Hope to see you at the US Sailboat Show. : - )
Betsy’s an odd name for it but if you call your wife bud and bro...
We have so danced like this at The beach club .. Stay safe mates ..Chris and Amanda from FL
so jealous... so awesome watching what you have accomplished. You should be so proud. Keep on, keeping on, we are all watching. And Thank You, for showing me what is possible. Kevin
I agree the constant moving can be over-stimulating, even taxing.... that would start to feel like a 9-5 office job vs. the freedom of sailing to your own schedule.
Love your guys channel! Hope my wife and I can do what you guys do someday and get away from the 9-5 job.
Life is "one big uphill struggle". You got that right. And loving every mile and minute. Fair winds.
One of the best videos ever from your channel ....hope for more !
Great video. I really enjoy the interaction between the two of you. You make a beautiful couple.
Very touching episode. Cheers guys!
Absolutely love what you guy’s are doing, amazing footage and another amazing edit, keep up the fabulous work 😍😍
You guys have come a long way.....great videos.....a salt life is a clean life.....😎
Such a neat series. Not my normal fare but quickly becoming one of my favorites.
The best cruising channel ever. Desiree? You are proud of yourself? Me too. Nice Job "Buds."
Great video as always!
Looks like a great party to get involved in right off the the boat.
Love you guys.
Safe travels!
So impressed with you both. Best wishes.
Not sure exactly why... but I think this is one of my favorite videos you've done! Editing was exceptionally well done, but it was just great overall!
I thought Jordan had said that there was going to be a really good window in the next 2 days to do the passage. Desiree probably was like where is that window Jordan... 😂 I am glad you guys made it safe!
I am awaiting a new release at the end of July 2023… had to travel back in time with Einstein.. and watch some of the beginning videos. Love you all.
Super good thanks guys. The reward is worth the struggle.
You put together a great story with this video. Great job with the edit. Loved it...
I really enjoy watching your adventures, especially the backdrop of y'all talking while you seem to be effortlessly gliding through the waves of the ocean. Maybe one day I can be as free spiritually as you seem to be. I'm getting old now so I'll have to pull the trigger soon. Thank You for your inspiration. PS, I can't wait to see you go through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific. Cheers🥰🥰🥰🥰
So happy for you guys!
Almost to a whole new ocean 😊
Not sure on your time line but Captain Rick on Sophisticated Lady should be down there somewhere. I think he's going to go through soon. On to Tahiti!
Love you.
Have a good time resting up. Fair winds from your friend in Syracuse New York. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great episode....Highest Blessings
Nice video Atticus crew! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing another incredible video
I really love it here, it's so nice - Yeah, let's get ready for tomorrow.... lol
Keep up guys from Honduras watchin you 🏆👍🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳
Totally agree. It really is nice to spend some time really getting to know a place vs constantly moving to see as much as possible. Yes you see more placing but without some time in a place you never really get to feel for what a place is really like.
I've been following you two for some time now. I love the videos.
I can not find the words to express how I feel waiting for your episodes to come in :) !!! This one is of course is simply awesome and the wait was worth it. The two of you communicate your adventures so well that I feel like I am on the boat with you, and I constantly find myself laughing with you, along with worried with you. On this one I could actually "smell land" hehehe. Loved every second, stay safe and I hope you are having a great time back in the states right now "Buds" !!!
Well put together, you are a great team.
great job!
can't wait for the Pacific!!
Panama is where I'm from and I love when I hear people saying I'm going to Panama or I'm going to visit your country I'm looking forward to see the videos from Bocas... hopefully y'all like the province as much as I do great videos by the way new subscriber too 😁🤘
We Love bocas! You have a gorgeous home country!
Thank you 😁🤙
