- After wrapping up a handful of pre-departure projects, we are FINALLY ready to set sail to Derecktor Robinhood Marina in Maine which will be our home base for the summer while we continue to upgrade and outfit Atticus II for extensive offshore voyaging. As we cast the lines and set sail, we are engulfed in heavy fog, and have a couple of close encounters…!

Epidemic Sound
I had written a long letter telling the two of you how proud you Both should be on what you have accomplished. You both have accomplished what many people Dream of doing but never can accomplish. Thanks for taking the time for the video each week.
Have a great weekend
Amen Arthur.
You need a harness for the pup, not the collar leash. Makes it easier to carry(hand bag style) not to mention grabbing if he goes overboard. A little life vest for the early days on the boat might be a good idea as well.
He actually does have a harness on if you look closely. Also, they show him with a life vest on in the video where they get him. So there is one available.
Was just noting the same thing. I’ve had dogs aboard for 20 years and really recommend a harness with a decent handle on the back and never a collar. He is such a pup I would have a PFD on him , not just running around. They can be in the water in a flash. When he is older and wiser maybe ok on dock without pfd, but always one on when under way and he is on deck. In rough weather, downstairs they go.
I have seen many boats put netting around the entire perimeter of the boat too when they have dogs.
@@MacBailey AND with little kids! See SV Delos and SV Nahoa.
Jordan & Deserie-
Consider replumbing the water tank vent to overboard vs dumping in anchor locker. Preferable within eyesight of tank fill so you know when your full. Could come in handy if your paying for water so you dont waste any.
Eye Splice the bitter end vs bowline? Love the mousing the shackle but what about a swivel?
With Captain Oso you might consider "netting" the lifelines so the little guy dosent fall over board. That happen to me, fortunately the dog had a big tail and as he wagged is tail it was like a big windshield wiper and we were able to spot him as he diffted with the tide. We didn't notice him gone until he was over 300 yards away. Little Captain Oso would be tough to see at a distance. The netting will come in handy if you add a a kid on board
Love you guys , keep on keeping on!
John
I like it that you share your accomplishments and even those things that you mess up and the redos! Thanks for sharing!
I am so with you on attaching the wrong end. It's the kind of stuff we all do......monthly. If you are boating regularly, your focus is laser on the bigger things and bigger details which makes us occasionally skip right over what seems the obvious. That sailboat is just so pretty under sail. Congratulations.
Really great episode you two…I like how you always show the “mess-ups” too - we all do them. The shot of the lighthouse with your boat in the distance was great. IDK, maybe the content, maybe the cinematography or maybe both, but I really felt like this episode was a step up in production quality. Glad the marina worked out - good sailing.
Amazing chapter of your lives to share... a season of “Summer” - jealous on this end (in the best way possible) great video
Great video. One quick thought. You may already know this, but - - peanut butter is great as a motivator, attention diverter, reward for dogs, but make sure the PB you select DOES NOT contain Xylitol. It is toxic for dogs.
Soooooo excited you are finally heading North. The farther north you go, the more extraordinary the coastline becomes. It takes a while to feel (moderately) comfortable sailing in the fog but you will catch on.
Thank you for taking us along on your Maine adventure.
How you guys handle mess ups compared to your first few videos has been a huge inspiration. Taking ownership in those situation is tough, but you guys power through each problem and stay calm through it all. It has definitely inspired me to do the same whenever something goes wrong.
I sailed the coast of Maine in summers for several years.. No radar, no GPS, just paper charts, Loran & dead reckoning. You shouldn't have any concerns with all the nav gear you have. The fog along the coast can be very dense, you will get used to it. Make sure you have a good fog horn. I once ran up very close to an aircraft carrier in the fog. I was alerted because he was constantly signaling with his fog horn. You must pay close attention to the tides in Maine. They can be 10-15ft and more, and tidal currents can be very strong.
You will get thunder storms, but usually you have lots of time to duck into protected waters. You won't lack for great cruising destinations along the entire coast. If you haven't already, get a good cruisers guide to help identify out of the way places. Good luck and fair winds.
I love Robin Hood Marina, so cute and scenic.
You will hit a lot of fog in Maine. Also when you are in Maine and you see two lobster pot floats close together (like 20 ft.) DO NOT SAIL BETWEEN THEM...they are for one pot and there is a line connecting the two floats.
Man, everything looks really good. Your sailboat looked great in that last part of the video. I know ya'll asked earlier about the color of the boat being green and I really like it. I would keep it green. Very thankful you found a marina to get all your projects completed. Both of you look very happy and content and I'm so glad everything is coming together for the next stage of your lives!!
As happy as I am to see you back on the water, I'm sorry to see you leaving my home port of Branford. I am at Bruce and Johnson's, and loved seeing Atticus there. I came by a few times to say hello, but you were either away or below. In my humble yet correct opinion, you are the best sailing channel on line: a great combo of adventure, travelogue, DIY and fun. I know you will love Maine: it's just about perfect there this time of year. And have others have said, watch out for the lobster pots.
Great to see ye back where ye belong !! Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
Great to see you sailing again, and thanks for showing your mistakes, it's nice to know someone else goofs up sometimes. Especially when folks like yourselves (who I think are very smart) have issues.
I've been bingeing these episodes and I'm learning so much. Glad I chanced on you guys, thanks so much.
Jordan, I absolutely love the little puppy you guys picked out he is sooooo cute I love him, good job!
Laughing WITH you, really - we promise! I will tell you its is fun to watch someone competent still making small mistakes! We all do it!! Super impressed with all your skills!
I’m from Connecticut but currently live in Florida .as you guys past the submarine I felt like I was back at home as you where near the The largest sub base in the US in Groton Connecticut .sub’s are often seen on the Long Island sound
Boat looks great how it cuts through water. Sails are beautiful. Looking good guys.
Beautiful boat - I know you guys are so glad to be on the water. Been quite the journey.
That instrumental is sic...perfect choice for this episode. Aloha and be safe
Such a beautiful boat you have - and your dog looks like he will be an awesome crew. Keep him safe…get a harness and life vest for him.
Hope you have a Air horn in a can ! Brush up on fog signals per rules of the road !
Happy to see you guys back on the water... looking forward to following you on your new adventures.
just want to add to the comments about your Epurb being outside. A released Epurb inside a vessel but trapped below the surface will have a significantly degraded (more likely totaly degraded) signal. Just mount it out of the way to prevent accidental deployment and It will be much safer.
Nice shot over the lighthouse! And nice to be on the move again. See you again next week, can’t wait.
Atticus looked like a toy sailboat with the drone shots. Good luck with your new adventure.
so good 2 c you 2 sailing in such style and comfort after SO long earning it on A1. SO good.
Great video. It’s nice to be along. Thank you.
Simple Green!! Yeah baby, you da man!! Puppy looks good !!
Oso is soooooo damn cute! Thanks for sharing him with us. ❤️
I am SO EXCITED for you guys!!! so much work and thought has gone into all of this....and the boat is BEAUTIFUL!!! Have great FUN!!! Bon Voyage!!! Safe travels!!!
Your departure brought back such memorie3s of my sailing in the Chesapeake. Waking up at dawn, seeing the light morning fog burn away to reveal fields with maybe cows or horses, noting how the wind starts to pick up and timing it all so after that moment of pulling anchor the sails were set and drawing.
New England is a mystical place and I know we all will enjoy your explorations.
Was afraid Des was going to get run over by the cart with the chain but then I remembered........ You guys know that safety is no accident!
Then there's my motto.......Safety third!
Really happy for you that you're sailing again.
Atticus 2 is a real beauty under sail👍
Glad to see it is all coming together, on boat time, which is a different time dimension. My neighbor was leaving for Mexico in March, then April, then May... you get my point. He is still here waiting for parts and contractors.
She has one very beautiful profile, oh yes of course Atticus II, lol... love those drone shots, she's such a show-off...
Great creative cinematography. So you visual see through ground fox that theres something out there like a marker on your starboard beam but its not showing up on the Radar., then we see the masts of a sail boat emerging out the fog. Reason. Small fiberglass boats with rounded lines and little metal may not create a decent radar reflection. It's why you see a radar reflector hoisted high up now and then on sail boat mast. It also helps in low
For the anchor line, look into a piece of climbing gear called a "SCREAMER" to put at the end and absorb shock. It has a series of bar tacks that rip out when someone takes a long fall and they absorb the shock, brining you to a stop more gently than a bare rope would. There may be a nautical equivalent I'm not aware of.
Just as good would be 40 or 50 feet of that three strand. Would give enough to attach a buoy with a camel hitch to recover the ground tackle after cutting it free in an emergency.
Atticus looks so good! You have done well! The little shot of you when you first arrived tell how far you've come! Maine may be the first destination but getting there is fun too. Lots to see and do! Enjoy!
My first thought when I saw the mast poking up out of the fog was, "THE FLYING DUTCHMAN"!!!! Glad to see you are underway! Cheers!
Go Guys GO! Maine is SO beautiful.
Nice to see you on the move. Great drone shots. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.
Oooh! Love this one guys! I love the combo of fixing and the sailing! Those drone shots in the fog were magical! And Oso looks like he’s shaping up to be great crew! 😍
Project summer in Maine, how nice!
Very cool I see a Lotta good times ahead for you guys love the new puppy
amazing shot of Atticus II under sail at the end - you must be so please to be out on the water again - all that hard work paid off - congratulations!!
One more reason I love your show is ; you share your mess ups . Much appreciated
Hi Buds, great choice in Marina in Maine. Well protected also close by boat to Boothbay Harbor via Townsend gut. You could do that trip in the dinghy. Townsend gut into Boothbay is pretty cool! Narrow steep channel by the swing bridge. The advice on the lobster pots is good. Also watch the current and tide going into the marina. It runs pretty good! We had fog last time we were in there. We stayed overnight and had a real nice meal at the restaurant. Make sure you have bug spray especially at dusk and early morning. Lots to do on a day sail from where you are. Seguin Island lighthouse, dock and dine lots of places (you may need reservations). We are coming into full on summer season. Everything up here seems to be open without Covid restrictions. We are over in John's Bay between South Bristol and New Harbor. We will keep an eye out for you. We stumbled on to Delos last year totally by accident in Port Clyde. We had no idea they were in the area. I am the guy that suggested Gamage Shipyard in South Bristol. If you see a 36ft blue hull downeast power boat with a canvas top "Hallelujah" that is us. Or 22 ft blue Pearson Ensign 1106 day sailor in John's Bay. Enjoy Maine in the summer. We think it is a special place.
Love you show the mistakes helps us learn too
I am sooo excited and happy to see you guys back!! I'm from Connecticut and where you are headed to mystic, you're going to love it. Your little doggie is so freaking cute!! I can't wait to see more of you guys again. Much ❤ too you both..
I love that gorgeous sailboat!
It's really nice following your adventures and seeing you both smile. Definitely purchase a small life jacket harness and attach a small light that activates when in water,if overboard you can pull them outta the water, a collar may slip right off the neck.
Hugs 😊❤🌏☀️⛵🐶
Shot at end of video of boat with sails up: beautiful!
Love you guys, I'm addicted to your channel.. and have lots of catching up to do..
Still thinking of how beautiful the boat is, in every video
Hey robinhood is where my boat is, welcome !
You need a swivel between the anchor and the chain dude.
I love my Bichons on board!
Great to see you on the move again. 👍
Killer drone shots about 17 minutes! Great work!
Jordan & Desiree, very proud of both of you and your get it done attitude !! The anchor chain project was interesting and glad you got it marked. THANK GOODNESS you got a great Epirb as they are a life saver for sure. One more thing, be sure to use lots of sun screen as that sun is brutal on your skin. Good luck on your travels northward and enjoy !!
Wow...great drone shots!
Lovely boat!
Fun crew!
Cheers
Atticus is one of the handsomest boats I've ever seen. Every angle shot shows it to be a most comfortable and seaworthy vessel. Your careful selection process paid off, all the repairs notwithstanding.
CT, specifically the part you're traveling through at the moment is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy the journey like you always do.
Glued to your adventure and sailing, the dog, not so much. But he's your dog and your channel, best of luck, I will continue to follow.
Cute puppy. Animals are such a blessing. I'm a veteran and my little cat pal makes every day a little brighter. Stay safe and have fun on your new boat.
This is like watching This Old House but for boats.
Very nice video. The drone shots bring a well rounded veiw.
I really like how you guys give credit where credit is due. Good on ya! Fair winds guys! Thanks for all your hard work.
So good to see you guys moving again
She looks soooo great under way! Comgradulations ! Curt
Finally a refreshing honest journey with excellent video production! Be encouraged to continue on and thanks for sharing your adventure. Forward every, backward never! Sail on!
Beautiful Boat you must be extremely happy !
Submarine was so mystic 🧙♀️
Great to see you on the move again!
I hope that you see this. I had to say that your aerial footage of the lighthouse into the boat and then back to the lighthouse and then back to the boat was amazing. I felt like I was in a blockbuster movie so, all I Gotta say is that you guys keep on doing your great work I know it’s hard for you but it pays off for us that are watching and we appreciate it 100%.
Always love your videos.
Thank you.
It was really good to see you underway!
Cool to watch your entertaining videos again! Really great footage.
Guys it's so good to see you sailing wow 👏
Really enjoy your shows. I sailed with my 4 legged friend for years. One thing I would highly recommend with a pup on board is to put together a k-9 first aid kit. When my pup got hurt once on board I found my human first aid kit really didn’t work. Head to a pet store and see if you can pick one up before cruising. You don’t want to be out there without one. I would also recommend doing a short video on what the differences are. You will get a lot of people watching it for sure. Good luck you guys!
really enjoy following your adventures . .
Guys , that boat looks so sweet under sail , enjoy
Wow so cool! Makes me homesick for N.E growing up on Cape Cod, yah gonna love it there and a Crealock design boat will be right at home there. When you get up to ME watch out for the rocks though they can be a real pissah. I love your little boat dog, I lost my little Sheltie to cancer last July 30th and I'm looking for another little buddy..Have fun, be safe and enjoy the journey..oh and thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on getting your boat prepared forsake sai
Hi guys, Oso needs a lifejacket with handle, it makes for easy pickup if he falls in water, our Maggie does not mind wearing hers and we also have netting on life lines to prevent her from sliding off in big water.
You guys are always so at ease. I loved seeing the demeanor change and seriousness in Jordan’s face as he was about to back out of your slip. Sailing is serious business.
I've been watching since you first started looking for a sailboat, Love you videos, great editing. I was amazed several weeks ago when you got a new puppy. I showed my wife your video when you introduced your baby and we remarked how he looks just like our baby "Bella". I am a hot air balloon pilot and was attending an event 800 miles away outside Denver when our sitter called and said that Bella was acting strange. Long story short our Vet was able to keep her alive while we rushed home to be with her in her final moments. Now as I catch up on your videos it brings aa tear to my eyes when I see your beautifully cute baby. Thanks for all your hard work keeping us entertained just don't forget to feature your new baby at least once a week.
😢 so sorry about Bella. Our thoughts are with you!
That shot from the lighthouse out to atticus was amazing. 😳 cinematic. Sailing in the fog whoa thank you for that experience. Awesome video.
The new and fabulous journey is starting, after a slow and tedious refurbishing, all well done. She sails so beautifully; couldn't be happier for you and your new crew.
God bless you
and your family
Every episode filming is great ,we'll done I like it a chain ⛓👌 super awesome
She is a beautiful boat...Congrats.
Thank you for the excitement we have all felt in preparing this new AtticusII. I just wish I didn't get seasick watching waves from the shore...oh and be at least 40 years younger. I wish you great times and I will continue following your adventures until.......
I have travelled those waters for years and I have seen 2 subs out of Groton in all my ventures. You guys see one on your first and likely only passage. That is luck!; and hopefully a positive omen for good fortune in your future travels.
(Viewers) You don’t get it. They are sharing their “living dream” with us.
I am thankful for every one of their videos. They are all like getting fresh air and a cool sea breeze. I love the wholesomeness of both loving adults their puppy and their living. God bless the freedom of these souls. God protect them and keep them safe.
I hope you are Christians enjoying the blessings and full of thankfulness for your gifts and the fruit of your hard work.
Amen
This video is so relaxing. Feels like im sailing too 😊
