We’ve had a ton of adventures since we sailed to the Azores Archipelago, but with a baby on the way we’ve got less than two months to sail over 2,000 Nautical Miles to Malta so it is definitely time for us to get a move on.

Have a nice day guys, i love sailing
26:02 That's a Lockheed Martin P3 ORION Submarine hunter out giving you a look over. They fly all over the ocean trying to spot submarines, so I'm sure a sailboat out in the middle of nowhere brings a little break to their monotony. Fair winds, Love Y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like someone with personal knowledge there👍. Makes sense too. Thanks for the insight.
Noticed that too. Probably doing MP duty in the area from the nearest coastline. Looking for illegal fishing etc. they do a lot more of that sort of thing than just look for subs. In Australia, our RAAF AP-3C Orion MPA are doing constant Maritime Patrols and making a list of all traffic in certain zones, making sure the AIS matches what they see visually. The nice thing about the P3 is that it can fly lower and slower over water than the new P8A MPAs which are based on the B737NG. Those old P3s are just great aircraft for MP work, you can switch off a couple of engines and patrol for hours and hours.
Yep it could also be looking for drug shipments.
@@chrisherd991 or people smuggling.
Do they monitor Channel 16? My thought was to give them a hail.
Looks like a P3 Orion Anti-Submarine Aircraft that flies out of VAVSTA ROTA, Spain. Great episode! I’ve sailed across the Atlantic Ocean 4 times. Sailing through the straight of Gibraltar is going to be an experience that you will never forget. What ports will you hit in the Med?
Your videos have definitely matured over time. Stay with this course and even when all others are falling apart because they want to have that HOLLYWOOD look, you will survive.
That’s a P3 Orion Maritime Patrol Aircraft, they fly low over water doing patrol work and looking for submarines. It would be a Navy or Air Force asset patrolling the waters there, so it’s good to see them since they do Search and Rescue as well.
The US Navy P-3 are in reserve, they operate P-8s now so what they probably saw was a Portugal Air force P-3 out of the Beja Air base or maybe even Spains P-3s
@@firecap yep, I doubted it was a US aircraft. I think the only P3s the US have left are with the NOAA & Customs & Border Protection. As you said, it's probably a Portuguese or Spanish aircraft since both countries have P3s and are active in that area.
@@tlevans62 Agreed. I was going to say it was likely Spanish or a NOAA bird.
I’ve watched my share of sailing vids … something about this episode felt like I was out there in the ocean w/ you guys. Incredible video! You guys are awesome.
That looked like a P3 Navy Reconnaissance plane. They hunt subs too. Nice episode mateys 😊
It was a P3
Kinda makes ya wonder what they were looking for.
We love it when our Saturday starts with all of you!!
2000 miles....!NO PROBLEMA CAPITÁN.....You'all got it...!!
Oso's cameos are wonderful, waiting to welcome Jordina of Malta into the sailing family.
Where is Oso? I was wondering where the little guy was?
Ooh Desiree, you've got that glow girl! You are looking beautiful! Sending good vibes your way! Be safe. And may the winds blow your way for your sail. Luv you two!
My sister, who weighed just two pounds when she was born 2 months prematurely in 1959 was almost born on our 28 foot wooden S-boat that my father used to race. My father and mother had gone out for a day sail and my mother started going into labor. Needless to say, that sail back to the mooring and land was the most stressful one my mother had ever been on.
How much did your dad freak out?
@@geroidmartin7946 Yes. He was freaked out as well, probably more so. They made it to the hospital and my sister was born a half hour later. Luckily there must have been wind that day or my sister might have been born on the boat.
My son was actually born in water, salt water. It was a water birth, and we had a mid-wife to assist. Water takes a lot of the physical pressures off of the woman during the birthing process.
I wish you could hear all our MOANS when this vlog ended 😢😮 NOOOOOO! I am SURE everyone makes the same sound 😂
Honestly
I am with you some of other shows you sit there and say oh well maybe the next video will get back to how they used to be But These two plus Osso when it ends I get upset and wish it was longer
Desiree, you are amazing... Super cool and Beautiful. GOD Bless you and Jordan. Keep the wind at your back and JESUS in your heart.
I’ve been on channel for years now and I love your dynamics so chilled and at times stressful but overall is like watching a documentary, you both explain everything with patience and knowledge. Thanks for sharing your stories!! From Miami ❤❤
Have a wonderful “golden trimester” lil momma! 💜
Desiree, pregnancy is bringing out a special glow in you. You are so beautiful.
Des, your long hair reminds me of your mom’s when G was a baby ❤️ glad you’re 2nd trimester is going well. Love watching your journey 🗺
Great video. I love that Jordan shared his observation about the aromas coming off the island during the departure.
Finally someone covered the details of issues that you face everyday i.e. scanning the horizon, containers,. Thank you. We really enjoyed this video. Slight change in vibe. Nice
You absolutely have to see the Pillars of Hercules when you pass through. It's part of the myth of Atlantis. The Northen pillar is the Gibraltar cliff, and the south pillar is Monte Hacho. The statue of Hercules is in Marocco though. They only have a boring monument in Gibraltar.
Actually people can't agree on the southern pillar - Jebel Musa is the other main candidate.
@@tomriley5790 True. But as Monte Hacho is more strait south of Gibraltar and it's the first landmark you see if you're sailing west, IMO it's more logical to see Monte Hacho as the southern pillar. Even though Jebel Musa is taller and can be seen from the Gibraltar cliffs. If the weather allows it.
Often those darn containers will float just under the surface.
For anchor retention, I recommend drilling the flat beam or shank part, and install a clevis pin. That way when you pull up the anchor and pin it . Robert's yer mother's brother. Secured anytime you're underway.
watching channels over a couple of years: Bobby White lost an entire boat because the anchor came loose, many other mentions of anchors dropping and causing less damage, but the best approach seems to be to have a hole drilled and a metal lock go through the anchor and the bracket and make that the definitive anchor lock each time.
Desiree. When u go below close one eye, or both if you are doing repetitive things or getting dressed/undressed. This helps you brain balance the conflicting messages between your eyes and your inner ear. I’m prone to getting sea sick but this has worked for me on multiple offshore races and deliveries. If you can, also try to orient your head downward like you are lying down. This helps tremendously as it mimics lying down. Final thought. Sleep with your feet facing forward. This way u won’t have the pressure of your stomach contents pushing on your upper stomach with every wave the boat pushes through. On my boat I go into the Q berth head first as the contours of the hull keep my head above my feet. There are no comfortable sailboats on the open ocean for the first three days. There still not comfortable after that but you body adjusts.
that plane you saw is a P-3 Orion. the navy uses this plane to do anti submarine warfare. they drop buoys that transmit sonar to ping submarines. the stinger on the tail is the receiver for the sonar signal. the plane flys a pattern at a VERY low altitude to receive the signals. My dad flew them when he was in the Navy and he said they would often circle around sailboats when they saw them, take a photo or two and log their position. he occasionally flew out when a distress call was made to assess the situation for other responders. My guess was the P-3 you saw was on patrol that day and came over to check you out.
Best sailing channel on TH-cam.
Me and my wife's fave sailing couple ( channel ).
Thanks for sharing your world with us! Our Morkie ( Yorkie-Maltese ) is so excited your going to be visiting her home country!
😂
One of my favorite channels; the growth you have both experienced, in sailing knowledge, in completing repairs, and in working as a team. Pray for your safe arrival to Portugal and eventually to Malta and the birth of your new addtion.
Awesome Video Guys!! Thank You for taking us along! So happy Pregnant Des is hungry and eating well!! See you next video, stay safe!! 🙏🏽
22:16 WHOA! Nice 'do' Jordan!!! hahahahaha
About the “looking forward constantly” while on watch. As a garbage man I have to constantly back up the large garbage truck out of blind alleys & in a lot of different situations. Because the truck is so large & has so many blind spots we have a rear camera on with a display in the cab. So we always know what’s behind the truck. Maybe you could install a forward camera on the front of the boat with a monitor down below? Not that you have to watch it constantly but it would be nice to glance at while below? Could give peace of mind & may even prevent a huge collision.
I was in Malta 1969/70. It was nice
Hoping the passage continues well for you all. Looks like a good move not to have crew for this shorter leg. I like how you explain the differences in daily living with / without crew. I hadn't thought about, the complexities of provisioning, cooking, use of space, etc.
Yup definitely a P3 guys. Long range anti submarine and surface patrol plane. Wonderful episode and it’s time to finally promote Oso to Admiral. The flag officer promotion board has recommended it.
Guys - I like that you do 6 on 6 off … for me it is so much easier on the body…you can eat and relax and still get a bit more sleep. Also please remember that rope’s chaff- put installing an anchor lock on your to do list
What a fabulous episode guys ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ 🎉 Totally loved the "just the 2 of us"attitude. Agree, niiiiiice having crew (perhaps even mandatory for most of us) on long passages. Just more safety, yet, 2 can develop a much easier and more harmonious routines. On a more personal note, watching Desiree act and interact with ozo, she is going to make a great mom. 😊 👍 ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝 👙 🌞 ✨ 💕
Imagine the smells Oso was enjoying!
There is one thing you can do to deal with the risk of running into a floating container. That is have a proper blue water boat under you that can shrug off such a collision.
To me, such a boat has a beefy hull and an encapsulated long keel with a nice taper to the lead edge.
Think a Cape Dory or Island packet. I'll give up that extra knot or ability to point very high.
The PS40 does have a longish keel and a pretty good slope to the lead edge, so you should be fine.
One other thing, that section of hull which could experience an impact should be a water tight compartment. Check out some of Atomvoyager's work. He glasses in this area.
The aircraft that was making low level passes is a Lockheed P-3 Orion. It is a long-range submarine hunter. The long, thin piece that sticks out behind the tail is an antenna. I could not see the markings, so it could be from the US or a NATO country. You may not have been the only folks in that part of the ocean. There might have been a Russian submarine close by. Or, the air crew may have been just practicing. Is Atticus equipped with sonar, you may consider that upgrade in the near future-along with some depth charges! Love your videos.
After your beautiful daughter is born you're going to find that long ocean passages and watch keeping are just a stroll in the park ................ :) :) :)
Y'all are getting pretty darn good at this vlog thing.
The thing about the containers is that if there is one floating on your path, it's most likely mostly submerged and you would need to be amazingly lucky to spot it in the waves and swell anyway even during the day time. At night time...? Forget about it.
Holding out for a good weather week was a good move. With just the two of you, a much more enjoyable trip. I have found that the first 3 to 4 days back at sea i am tired and lethargic. Fortunately, it gets better. You guys rock, and it is just the two of you......oh and capt oso too. You are headed to a very beautiful part of the world. Fair winds.😎
Capt K
Made the same mistake on the anchor. Never missed it a second time!
Outstanding! Thank You!
what a great adventure. thanks for doing this.
Amazing as always.
Excellent guys, great episode 👍😊👏❤️
About floating objects, you can't see them at night either. The mystery plane looks like a Navy sub hunter. It would be really interesting to see your progress on a map at the end of the video. Nice video.
You guys are awesome. Another great video. Thanks for sharing sooo much.
A fantastic episode!
Great episode guys
Very nice episode guys that plane was creepy lol. Beautiful blue water!!
What a trip guys! wishing you two all the best and safe sailing. You two are a great crew, boat is always so clean and organized.
Yay! My favorite sailors!
Looking really good you two.
Congratulations Bro and Sis!!!!
good luck and have a great time
I love how truthful you guys are...its beautiful how good you are getting along with the pregnancy.
Looking forward to seeing you in Malta! 😊
Nice chill episode! Just what I needed today!
Good trip so far
I love your outstanding videos! Great to hear of your plans on pre-natal care. Smart thinking!!
Thanks for another great episode. Fair winds and following seas to you.
Another awesome video! Your editing skills are second to none! Looking forward to the next one. Safe travels!
Awesome episode
That Aircraft was a P3 Orion. It's an anti-submarine and surveillance aircraft operated by the US Navy. They might have been checking you out or following someone underneath you!
It’s so interesting to see how a passage works for you, and the 27 minutes went by so quickly!
Love your content I’m always watching your new episodes on Saturday and been a fan for long time. Greetings from California .. wish you guys the best looking foward for next week episode .. P.s your awesome too olso !!!
Your so pretty Desiree and you are definitely glowing.
Great episode, love the ending....... Do you have a radio that can hear the aviation VHF (118 - 136 MHz) band? Some boats carry them. 121.5 MHz is the Emergency/Distress frequency and 122.8 MHz is the Universal Communications (UNICOM) frequency.
Nice, thank you.
Oh my gosh I want more
Ok, I'll be honest...initially I hit a thumbs down at MY disappointment of y'all not going to Terceira. (Stationed there when I was in the Navy). I love that island!! But.... I changed it to thumbs up bc y'all do put out great videos!! Take care Momma! 🙏❤🇺🇸👣⛵🐕😊🤙
Might keep in Mind, that if you need to call a " mayday" for your wife, that you call someone on land to contact the navy to help if your stuck in the middle of the ocean. Good Luck!
EXCELLENT CHEF ,BUDDY...
I love watching the two of you in your journey.
I could watch the two of you all day.
Please be careful Des, out on the ocean.
Thank you Des and Jordan for sharing your life and journey with us. Stay safe
Love watching your videos! Hello from two liveaboards in Hawaii! Love watching your channel. It gives us inspiration for our own TH-cam channel, but also our future travels after we restore our boat!
Thank God for this content Amen.
Another great video guys. Pregnancy suits you well des. Good luck on the remaining passage. Hopefully see y’all next week.
What welcoming news about finally meeting your goal of being parents thru the journey of life. My dearest ♥️ 💖 love and best wishes.
Welcome to the Mediterranean Sea, welcome in Europe, best of luck, waiting to see baby on board ❤
You should stop at Lagos (there is a great marina) in the south of Portugal. You will love it. If you dont want to be in a marina you can anchor in the Ria Alvor. Great people and awesome small town
and near Isla de Culatra near Olhao, I love sailing in the Algarve
i've watched other sailing channels but keep coming back Sailing Project Atticus. My fav sailing channel. Feel a connection watching your videos. Always look forward to the next. Hope it never ends 😊
I'm so happy for you both .. brilliant plan. That's a beautiful place to have a baby. Aftercare is wonderful plus being in one place is perfect! I really enjoyed this episode. The food looked good great cooking an freezing makes life eazy... Thanks for sharing your lives with us! Fare winds and following sea's ✌🏼💗😊❣️
My first Saturday morning 🌄 video 📹. Great way to start the day 😀.
Lovely passage, so far. (I’m sorry, but you always make me hungry. Your breakfast sandwich looked amazing! 💕💕💕😎)
CP-140 Aurora aircraft. My dad (navigator) and my uncle (pilot) use to fly them.
So happy to see that baby bump! Excited for you both and miss you guys 😍🤩
Thanks Sheri!
Floating Objects:
IMHO you would never see them early enough to prevent from. Saw some bigger lumber parts in the water - just some 5 - 8m at the side, no opportunity to see them as early so you may manoeuvre.
Another good show
Safe travels❤
I’ve watched videos of the Orcas attacking boats around Gibraltar and Spain be careful ,SAFE TRAVELS!
Thank you
We really understand a tough passage and upwind 😭 We sailed 200 miles recently of which half was in 3m steep waves on a very short period, with waves breaking all over the deck. Winds, seas and swells twice the predict wind and local area forecast and it truly was a hard 12 hours! Ps we also had the anchor issue and yep it's now also on our pre departure list! Happens to the best of us and always at the worst time!
Another beautiful video, liked seeing the Navy P-3 buzzing by you in the end. Their stationed on the island of Tercera in the Azores, I lived there for two years. Your visit to the Azores was as beautiful as I remember it, thanks for the trip back down memory lane. Continued success on you trip!
My dad flew P-3s, and Lages Navy Air Station in the Azores is not far by air. Plus, these low passes are what P-3 crews train for. But now that the Atlantic Fleet has transitioned almost fully to the P-8, my first thought was that the aircraft was probably a hurricane hunter scouting out TS Gustavo, since I don’t know exactly when you recorded this episode. Now I’m concerned about what we will find out in your next video.
I look forward to your update every week. I’m so excited for you guys! I had to look up Malta to see where it was. I bet the plane just wanted to see the boat! :-) OSO is so cute! We went out to get a little lap dog in May and came home with Dexter a beagle golden retriever mix! Woah! He’s so big! But so much fun! Just got the snip, Chip, and clip (nails)! Hopefully he will be a bit subdued lol! Can’t wait for next post!
P3 Orion Anti-Submarine hunter you were in good hands
I'd like to add, you guys living the dream. Used to be my dream to sail about the world like Tristain Jones, but watching the work you put in, things breaking, and vast knowledge and experience.....I'll fly to those locations. I had a 30 ft fresh water sail boat, they are work. She was named "High Maintenance". Great vids, keep em coming.
