i love it that Desiree is willing to appear in videos when she's been working and is sweating and no make-up. and you know what, she's still beautiful. just part of the reality you guys bring.
Great update. As the captain I really appreciate how you treat your woman. I grew up with four sisters and quickly learned how a man is to treat a woman, and it seems that the two of you have mastered your relationship very well. Great to see!
I have watched all the episodes up to this one now. I learned a lot from this episode. I can’t wait to watch more, you guys got me hook like a Mantis at anchorage.
One of the best shows in all of media. Well done! So informative and we can vicariously live through all this great information. I come form a film production background, and your work y engaging and worthy of a Discovery Channel program. Better it’s here to binge watch! Bravo. Making me want to get back to the sea more and more! Well done and may your travels stay so strong.
I love the way you show the real story. The feelings of escaping just the dock. The consequences of no AC and how it all ties into your experiences. It is not a fantasy. It is still life and things still have to get done and there are still consequences to all your choices. It is just not the 9-5 commute, wait for the weekend life that the most people are familiar with. Well done!
After a lot of research I made the same to Anchor choices on my boat. I think you'll love the Mantis. It grabs and holds immediately. The oversize mantis will give you great peace of mind at the Anchorage on Windy Nights. Great video thank you!
Ahhhhhh....Atticus looks so cute in the big lift. That big lift made it look like 6 guys could have lifted Atticus out of the water.😜 Obviously, I am joking around, because you have a beautiful home. Awesome to see you get back to anchor. You guys work so hard, that it will be great to see you get back to enjoying sailing and sightseeing. You mentioned going back to Cuba, and that's great. One of my favorites of your episodes is when you guys were being rebels, and did some rock climbing, touring a tobacco farm, and enjoyed the hospitality of the locals. Also....THANKS ALOT....because ever since I started watching your channel, without realizing it, I am now calling everybody BUDDY.
I have the same primary/secondary anchor setup. Very happy. Great info guys. Danforth/fortress are for ONE DIRECTION. I have mine setup, ready to drop, and she's saved my ass more than a few times when the mantis has drug (which isn't often, but does happen).
We know the feeling about being at anchor! Love Desiree's expression and thumbs up at the end. I do the same to my wife and she doesn't believe it either!
Jordan. What a great gal you have. Courageous, smart, kind and oh so funny. Such a contrast to so many of the other channels ladies. And Desiree...........your doing pretty good with that bloke of yours too. The way you show the nuts and bolts of cruising in clear detail is fantastic. Especially the navigation aspects. Very informative , very entertaining and very real. Love you both guys, well done. I'm heading for the Patreon page right now ⚓️
Good job #TeamAtticus !!! - One quick, successful yard haul out and back at anchor. BTW - you know those RV bump outs that you can crank out when the RV is parked? You guys need an Atticus bump out for Desiree to use as a sewing room while on the hook. I love your summer is going well guys! ~SP
Great vid! Super good content and you didn't drag any of the sstory line out so it was packed with A LOT of info but kept my attention!!! BRAVO! Well done Amigos! Congrats on moving to the anchorage! PEACE OUT! Ü
I do know one thing....hot weather+ no AC + tight spaces = grumpy fights! Btw, your boat but I would be concerned about your fix on the front chain plate area...surprised you didn’t take the time to glass that back in for a more perm fix since you were pulled out already.
I enjoy your videos. I would like to offer Desiree some advice. Please look at Ashley’s skin on “Sailing Nahoa”. It won’t be long before your skin looks the same if you don’t start covering up. The video “How the Sun Sees You” is an excellent tool to show how effective sunscreen is. I wish you all well keep the videos coming. Happy sailing⛵️
When Jordan turned off the A/C, my A/C turned off also. Lol. You mentioned that you were prepping for Cuba but I know you are in Belize, was there a change in plans? I must say, you guys along with Sailing Uma (thanks for turning me on to that channel) make the best videos.
That Mantus is a great anchor, and being oversized makes it that much better. I'm amazed at how others will classify their BEST anchor as their "storm" anchor, and use some other less regarded anchor as their "everyday" or "primary" anchor - LMAO! I don't get it.
I agree with your anchor choice,I have a Seaward 24 she came with a 9 llb anchor so I upgraded to a 14 llb delta,works great never dragged,and like you have a double bridal.ive been at anchor in 30 plus.I did have to beef up my bow pulpit to cope ,also make sure that bad boy is well secured on crossing.
Cool anchors! In my opinion you just upgraded to the two best modern anchors on the market and they compliment each other perfectly. We carry a Mantus 45lbs for main anchor on 200 feet of 5/16 chain; a FX 23 lbs with 200 feet of braided rode(12 strand) + 30 ft of chain for stern/medmoor/kedging off) and finally a Mantus 105 lbs storm anchor on our 35 foot boat (but its displacement is 17500 lbs). We are probably going to use two x 150 ft 3/4 3-strand nylon roses for the storm anchor, each with 50ft x 5/16 chain, (similar to Uma as you probably know). Lastly our dingy anchor is a 14 lbs Delta.
No experience with the Mantis, but we hear LOTS of great things about them. Much experience with the Fortress, and we have relegated ours to a stern anchor that does not do a good job. I've kedged out the Fortress many times out at Catalina Island and it's okay, but we want to change it. We have a 45 pound CQR and are buying a 65 pound CQR to handle things better. We will probably end up with a large, heavy Mantis.
I was wonder how do you like sailing a ketch to a cuter? do you find it harder to manage and is it a smoother ride. great video.you are lucky guy she is willing to get out of your way for two days wow or did she ring a bell when she wanted something like my wife.
You got such a quirky voice. I bet you'd have a killer country and western singing voice.Try some Karaoke for the hell of it . Listen to Shania Twain's voice and her singing voice and you'll see what I mean. You the Man ! Cheers.
I forgot to ask in my previous text, but what is written on Desiree's forearm while she is sitting in the hammock? Also, did you notice that Kevin Costner sent you a text? I have no idea if it is the actor. I just noticed the name. Have a great weekend!
Rob S wow great break down. I've been leaning towards manual to keep things simple. I'm glad to hear that you haven't regretted your purchase. Thanks for the input.
Especially for guys like you, who go on overnight trips inland and stuff, you want enough anchor so you can relax, and enjoy yourselves, without freaking out worrying if your boat is gonna drag while you are there there. How do you know if you have enough anchor? Easy! You want the other yachties to start making fun of you, for how big your anchor is, lol. I have a 75lb anchor on my low windage 35'er, and I sleep like a baby on 'ludes, hah.
Here I am wishing I could be living your lives and Jordon is complaining.....you really need to let go and just have fun! If you had a home you would be doing all these things to keep your home in good shape except that the jobs would all be much larger. Please relax and laugh it will give you through anything.
Personal opinion...the Fortress anchors are shit...requiring the perfect bottom and are horrible at swinging and resetting. The Mantus anchor is the absolute best in the world. I have one of each. I highly doubt you ever use the Fortress...but for a stern anchor. Cheers folks.
I kinda love that you guys still get stressed out. That’s probably the way I would be.
i love it that Desiree is willing to appear in videos when she's been working and is sweating and no make-up. and you know what, she's still beautiful. just part of the reality you guys bring.

Mantis, Fortress and LG-AC Anchors on display, standby for a holding test in episode ? Lol. Great job guys.

Yippeee! Get back out there guys, must be so nice to be at anchor, it's cooler out there so no need for AC!
I was tired just watching you guys work. You finished up what would take me half the summer! lol
Outstanding episode..always entertaining, funny, philosophical and you keep it real. One of my favourite sailing channels without a doubt. Cheers👍
Higher waterline makes the boat look longer & bigger. Thanks for the adventures!
Ahhhhhh....Atticus looks so cute in the big lift. That big lift made it look like 6 guys could have lifted Atticus out of the water.😜 Obviously, I am joking around, because you have a beautiful home.

Perfect anchor choice. Can’t do any better than that.
This one made me smile, ear to ear!! ♥️♥️ you guys!!!
We know the feeling about being at anchor! Love Desiree's expression and thumbs up at the end. I do the same to my wife and she doesn't believe it either!

You got the whole Mantus G.I. Joe collector set: Anchor, swivel, bridle, chain hook. Wow.
When I heard you were friends of "Gus and Cap'n Call", I knew you both had the "True Grit" to Adapt and Overcome!
😂 that's the best book for passages!!
Greetings from Spain, love how you say "CHORIZO" instead of CHORISO, it is very lovely to hear one's language spoken properly..
Got quite a bit done in 4 days, looks great ;-)!
Thanks for the inspiring video guys. Always enjoy 'em.
Awesome! I do love your classic old boat.
Good job #TeamAtticus !!! - One quick, successful yard haul out and back at anchor.
BTW - you know those RV bump outs that you can crank out when the RV is parked? You guys need an Atticus bump out for Desiree to use as a sewing room while on the hook.
I love your summer is going well guys!
~SP
You tired me out just watching you run around the boat yard! Still great to see you getting ready to cruise 🚢
Brake cleaner may be a better choice for cleaning the gunk out. It's apparently less harsh on rubber and plastics and such.
Great episode.
Great vid! Super good content and you didn't drag any of the sstory line out so it was packed with A LOT of info but kept my attention!!! BRAVO! Well done Amigos! Congrats on moving to the anchorage! PEACE OUT! Ü
I do know one thing....hot weather+ no AC + tight spaces = grumpy fights!
Btw, your boat but I would be concerned about your fix on the front chain plate area...surprised you didn’t take the time to glass that back in for a more perm fix since you were pulled out already.
What I use as a windscoop is a big towel expecially after a shower. That way you can dry it out too
I enjoy your videos. I would like to offer Desiree some advice. Please look at Ashley’s skin on “Sailing Nahoa”. It won’t be long before your skin looks the same if you don’t start covering up.

brilliant - thankyou.

You guys must sail to nassau, Bahamas. I live there and the beaches are beautiful. The best place to anchor is over by Green Cay opposite Rose Island.
Cool anchors! In my opinion you just upgraded to the two best modern anchors on the market and they compliment each other perfectly.

Looking Good! Oh the boat is to!
Well those two anchors should keep Atticus from wandering around.
So how long before you regretted turning the AC Off?
I think "chow down" is the expression you're thinking of.
Future purchase for your boat, Honda generator to run your air conditioner, very cool video as always..........
Hi i found the Bruce anchor very good in Scotland.
You guys are too cute!💞💞💞🇨🇦
I have both the Mantus and the Forterss on my boat. Long and multiple stories short... I love the Mantus and hate the Fortress.
Are you guys harvesting the honey from all those bees? Looks like they have a nest in your A/C!
Aaah!!! 12:40!! Meat!! Sorry for doubting yall!!!
awesome video guys :-)
I wanna go for a ride on Atticus!
I just noticed a wind generator, when did you get that? Dane E.
Awesome
I was wonder how do you like sailing a ketch to a cuter? do you find it harder to manage and is it a smoother ride. great video.you are lucky guy she is willing to get out of your way for two days wow or did she ring a bell when she wanted something like my wife.
You awesome buddy! An awesome woman and your dream! How does it get better?
Great video, but where is the new dodger? Also did you use 5200 for a sealant or another product.
lovelylovelylovelylovely - have I ever said youre both so lovely? No? Youre so lovely!
It appears you also got a new bridle with the anchor - what is it?
You got such a quirky voice. I bet you'd have a killer country and western singing voice.Try some Karaoke for the hell of it . Listen to Shania Twain's voice and her singing voice and you'll see what I mean. You the Man ! Cheers.
I'm confused. I could have sworn you guys built a hard top. Where's it at?
I was a bit concerned about those marks above your water line . Have you checked for osmosis
you guys keep all that stuff on the boat.. Thats a lot of weight. How do you make room for all that ... Nicely done.
I forgot to ask in my previous text, but what is written on Desiree's forearm while she is sitting in the hammock? Also, did you notice that Kevin Costner sent you a text? I have no idea if it is the actor. I just noticed the name. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the videos. Do you love your manual windlass or would you consider switching to electric?
Rob S wow great break down. I've been leaning towards manual to keep things simple. I'm glad to hear that you haven't regretted your purchase. Thanks for the input.
is that windlass a manual one? if so is it hard to retrieve the anchor?
2 pounds a foot and some , minimum, can't go wrong..
Especially for guys like you, who go on overnight trips inland and stuff, you want enough anchor so you can relax, and enjoy yourselves, without freaking out worrying if your boat is gonna drag while you are there there. How do you know if you have enough anchor? Easy! You want the other yachties to start making fun of you, for how big your anchor is, lol. I have a 75lb anchor on my low windage 35'er, and I sleep like a baby on 'ludes, hah.
Um, you left your AC on the dock?
is that a bees nest next to your AC.
So what happened to the new dodger?! Are these out of sequence?
Love Your crazy wife!!!!
Hi what happened to the doger you where building in the last episode
where is the hard dodger.......
We didn't get around to spraying it at the boatyard, but we'll get to it next episode :)
That hard dodger is awesome! Really looking forward to seeing it. :)
❤️
kokopelli sailing adventures, that's a strange thing to have on your arm
The discussion about anchors is interesting, but I'm completely distracted by what looks like a residential window AC unit.
I spoke too soon. I'm glad you addressed it. Super interesting!!!
lol it's your only bed
Can they lift out cats there 8 mt beam
Where is your hard dodger? I don’t even see the mounts for it?
Terri Shaver we left the hard dodger at the boatyard to spray which you’ll see in next week’s episode ;) mounts are attached to hard dodger
💙🇨🇱
First Comment is from GERMANY! Suckas! From Vio and Tommy!
yay! you did it!
Lucky you have a woman that backs you up buddy.
Here I am wishing I could be living your lives and Jordon is complaining.....you really need to let go and just have fun! If you had a home you would be doing all these things to keep your home in good shape except that the jobs would all be much larger. Please relax and laugh it will give you through anything.
Im a huge fan of eating meat!
Seems like most "live aboards" are veggies?? No offinse to veggies but...
dude the a/c unit ,,really??
Personal opinion...the Fortress anchors are shit...requiring the perfect bottom and are horrible at swinging and resetting. The Mantus anchor is the absolute best in the world. I have one of each. I highly doubt you ever use the Fortress...but for a stern anchor. Cheers folks.
salty.
You need a boat, trailer...
Anime is weird
