We attempt to finish up the wiring of the stern arch and solar panels, but come face to face with a couple of projects which really test our patience and resolve! As we enter week 5 of boatyard living, we’re starting to wonder if we’ve bitten off more than we can chew!

Epidemic Sound
Jordan, You and Desiree could literally double your awesome sailing channel as a yoga channel! All of your hard work will massively pay off.
Jordan. My hair started thinning in my early 40's. I came home after a motorcycle ride, looked into the mirror and realized how thin it had gotten. Then, I grabbed the clippers shaved my head and never looked back. Don't sweat losing your hair. Anyone who cares if you have hair or not isn't worth wasting any time on. I say embrace it and save yourself the money on hair cuts and hair replacement. It also takes a lot less time to get ready in the morning. I wish you the best!
My son has done the same and sports a pretty awesome beard with it.
Don't sweat the spot. Everyone has "imperfection". Embrace it and move on. Focus on stress reduction, that will keep you around and entertaining us all for a long time.
Big fan of you guys, writing about your hair patch, years ago I had the same problem, after many medical interventions , one
very wise doctor told me that it had to do with nerves due to stress, once I was aware and began to relax it went
away .
Keep producing your great videos , the highlight of my week
Stress? What Stress? He lives on a boat. What could cause him stress? :) BTW, I also have the patch but it's the entire top of my head...smh. Sail on pretty people.
@@stevehammond7485 running a youtube channel, starting a family? keeping everyone safe?
I think that was sarcasm there buddy.
Think you have stress now? Just wait until you have kids!!!
@@sarahlou4301 my sarcasm detector was offline. Did not have my coffee yet.
A common denominator among all of but the wealthiest of cruisers is that they must become intimate with every nook and cranny of their vessels. Nice job guys. Keep up the good work! ⛵️
When you pull new wires,Always pull in a sturdy string for future pulls(there will be pulls in the future)..Otherwise you'll be pulling with existing wires so it cost twice as much...I ALWAYS leave a pull string in every pull...
Electricians lube and pull multiple wires at the same time. One of my first jobs was pulling large wires thru a two inch conduit. Not fun.
Hey Jordan, I am an electrician and one of the tricks we use is to strip back about 6-12” or so of your insulation on your wire and then cut a couple of the wires out. Then use the remaining wires to make a loop. Next use your fish line to loop through the wire loop and tape up from there. This ensures a chain-like lock while maintaining a small profile. Hope it helps in the future of fishtape adventures! Love you guys and hope to one day have a boat for my family. 🤙🏼
Desi, you’re a star in the kitchen! Just the face of happiness whilst cooking the shrimps did it for me this episode! With a dish like that and the help of the funny chef, who cares about wires....
The production value in your videos is amazing and I really enjoy when you spotlight a local business.
My 27 year old daughter lost most of her with alopecia. The cause was diagnosed as stress. Her hair eventually grew back.
I swear we are leading parallel lives. Valiant 42, replacing electronics, autopilot, updating comms (wifi, cell modem), fishing cables everywhere, upgrading alternator, switching to lithium, adding isolation transformer, upgrading solar, chargers, inverter, MPPTs, mast is out for rig inspection and refurb, lights, new main, etc. so much fun
Watching you fish wires… wanted to offer a pro tip: where possible, always use thicker stuff than the orange crap, then when you pull back the wire pull back another “messenger line” and leave it there. Saves time next time, costs almost nothing.
My Saturday morning routine: Starbucks and watching project Atticus! Jordan your knowledge of every detail of your boat is amazing. That knowledge will be invaluable when you guys are on open water. I can tell for both of you guys this is a labor of love (even though Im sure at times its a pain in the butt!). Thanks for sharing the adventure with us! PS: You won the lottery when that Desiree agreed to marry you!
💯%🎯
Jordan of Atticus and Brian of Delos working on the never ending projects esp. this week for both of you. Very well edited with good story telling. Becoming our favorite channel.
My uncle is here with me, he is a very experinced cruiser. He says that now, while in build mode, it is the time to start a list of parts and tools to accululate for your trip. pumps, filters, filter vessls, tools, wire, tubing, tube clamps, through holes, impellers for pumps, etc. And just bite the bullet and buy an extra transducer.
Jordan, I had a similar situation in that I would lose patches of hair just overnight. One morning I got up my whole sideburn was gone. What it was for me I believe was pure unadulterated stress. No need to go into why I was stressed but it was most stressful time in my life and that was the result I would lose patches of hair. Your situation might be different. One positive thing is that it actually grew back eventually. I do hope that the situation for you can be resolved. I followed you both for a long time on TH-cam. Wishing you and yours the absolute best. Stay well and happy. ⛵
I'm amazed every time you do electrical changes at how well prepared you are with tooling and solid workarounds, not just bandaid solutions. Someone taught you well.
Y'all rock! Grits are polenta made from white corn. They're a flavor sponge. If you don't make them lumpy you can do whatever you darn well please with them. And the boat yoga: uncomfortable and embarrassing positions. This episode is an excellent portrayal of the duality of boat life. Y'all's storytelling and editing skills continue to raise the bar. With content like this I'll wait patiently to wish you fair winds and following seas.
For mousing string, use dynemma fishing line - less likely to break.
Thank you so much for drawing a sad face on Mr. Patch! 1) that was hilarious, and 2) you’re a fantastic person/personality, and I’m stoked to see that you’re not letting Mr. Patch define you.
I’m not a guy who writes to video makers but you two (3 sorry Oso) are doing it right. I you have done a good job letting us know the whys and hows of the modifications you are making to a great boat. I hope as you travel you point out to the viewers when one of your modifications (equipment additions etc) makes its benefit felt. Great work enjoy it a lot and have asked my wife to make me your patron for my birthday.
Being a mechanic for many years I have to say using sealed butt connectors on the navigation light system would be a no-no for me. I'd personally buy a small hand held soldering iron and solder them.
Butt connectors are unreliable and are prone to fail (i.e. gremlins) in my highly experienced, but humble opinion.
Love the channel.
No soldering on boats. ABYC standards dictate butt connectors. They’re much safer than solder.
ive done 10 atlantic crossings, 60.000 miles offshore since 1985, i solder every fitting i can .the only fittings that have let me down are crimp fittings
@@robertcooke1774 and just when the wire soldered connection heat up for some reason... you loose the connection.
"Lord Oso" looked to have some superior supervision skills! Such a cute boss definitely would make you want to do well for his Lordship!
I’m so happy that you both are continuing to live your dream and it looks to be getting better by the day. You are great teachers. I’m 6 years in to being a “TH-cam sailor”after a haphazard question at a restaurant on a marina in Puerto Vallarta. Keep teaching and inspiring; I’ll graduate one day. Hell, I’m one a year away from my YT Doctorate…
This statement isn’t original, isn’t t new, but ………”what a great way to start the day!” I kinda feel I was working with you both getting Atticus II ready for the crossing. Your videos and descriptions, are really great. Also having the correct tool for the job is so important. It took me many years to learn this. Even if you use the tool a few times the correct quality tool is worth the cost and security. As always ……..see you next week, have fun and be safe.
You guys found shrimp & grits too! So glad y'all are getting some GOOD Southern cooking in Little Washington. Next up maybe a few dozen oysters? Watching Jordan deal with the chainplates and shrouds made me think of potential next boat names: "Second Thoughts" or "Knucklebuster".
No butt splices! Use a lineman's splice and heat shrink (for future reference). I feel for you, having spent many hours upside-down in lazarettes. Also I recommend CorrosionX as a protective treatment.
I look forward for the next video all the time. Great job. !
Jordan, next time your pulling cables, Half-Hitch the string to your cable, then tape over it, and always pull a backup string in so it's ready for the next wire pull. Love your channel,
I found my first patch sitting in class when I was a senior in high school. After that it would come and go. My first year teaching I lost most hair on the top of my head. I starting shaving my head when I was a substitute teacher. I had kids ask if my head was tattooed. I tried treatment but the hair would come and go on its own schedule. These days the shaved head look is popular so try not to stress. Just think of the savings on hair products.
We moved to Hawaii from little Washington 5 years ago. We loved it there but it’s the winter that made us head south.
We restored our first sailboat in the same boatyard you are in. We lived across the creek in the marina community.
We leaned to sail in the pamlico river and sound. We loved sailing to Ocracoke island.
It was so nice watching you explore our old home.
Pro tip from someone who runs cables for a living (although not on a boat) forget the string just attach the wire to the rod.
Came here to say exactly this, and if you expect you’re gonna have to get back in there at some point pull a string with the cable on the rod for later.
@@garrett8128 or a extra bit of cable.
@@DorsetSaferRoads this too, I run both network and AV so sometimes we don’t know what’s coming next but we always pull more network than we immediately need
Hang in there you two have made so much progress with this boat
for future reference lube with dish soap really helps fish the wires. Boat yoga must be really hard when you are 6ft 4 inches tall. As for the hair you would be surprised how much people don't notice. Try this grow a beard and keep it for a few months, then shave it off, and see the reactions...from wow you look different did you cut your hair, to what is different about about you? Love you guys
Great video, both technically AND sharing being so human! We all have our bald patches, so to speak!
I learn so much watching the both of you and having a Pacific Seacraft 37 of my own, I only cringe at how you get into the nooks and crannies of that boat.
God bless ya!
I'm looking forward to the weather warming, and boats splashing...
Stay warm D, J, & Lord Oso, a low of 25°f tonight in Washington, NC! 🥶
Hey don't sweat the side patch. Unlike other sailing channels your down to earth reality makes your channel sincere and loveable!
he should get a tattoo ,it might be the way to go
Great video. I do enjoy seeing the area that you are staying at. Restaurants ,shops and such,keep up the good work.
It's a great place to visit and live.Been here for 8 years
Jordan I had a patch like that a few years ago on the forehead. It took about 3/4 of a year and it was...gone. Just like that, just as it had appeared. Doctors said that stress might have bee a cause and seeing what you are going through it absolutely looks like it's just the same with you. Be patient and it will go away.
A "Palm Nailer" might be the thing to knock out those hard to get at bolts. Palm nailers are use by wood framers to nail bracket nails might try a half day rental. It might make your life a little easier. Excellent work refitting your craft.
I truly love seeing the extras of places you visit! I will need to stop by the Down on the Mainstreet restaurant the next time I am in that part of NC! Also, you make us feel along with you the sometimes very tiring work to get things fixed and working! Whew, you two make the work seem easy and quick, but we do know what it takes to do it right! Thanks for sharing!!
Don’t worry about the side patch. I had two on the back of my head, and one under my chin. Freaked out, went to dermatologist, he said: “yea, you’re mounting!
Made sense to me!
Sail on!
Moulting
You can get low temperature soldering heat shrink connectors ...the solder is inside the heat shrink connector... ...an new favorite for me !! : ) ....have fun !!!
"Express You Patch" ! (new special edition Atticus hat and T-shirt combo) Be happy, be safe
Hey! You all found McCottar's. Good for you! Our beautiful boat is 4 down from yours, toward the water. Great, great boatyard.
I look forward to every episode ... Your format of taking us through the details of your projects combined with the entertainment value of the "shrimp and grits" )this channel above all the others. Thank you! but Jordan, I'm too old to bend like that. LOL
Another great episode with a nice balance between technical boat work and local flavor. Desiree, you are killing it with the cooking jigs !!
Great video! You two, correction, U3 R doing it right! All of it right! Video filming, editing, yacht repairs, refit & LIFE! More positive Energies to ya’s! Love your channel!
Dean - Bradenton, FL
You do good work, can always settle into a mech, fitter job one day when returning to being a sand crab. (No dis, I was in US Navy, civilians, me now, were sand crabs). I had a 26 ft Mcgregor, named High Maintenance, sailed here in KC MO. Their way to much work. Glad you enjoy, not me......
Just a tip... Never hammer on the threads of a bolt... take a nut and screw it on the bolt so the nut is near flush with the bolt and hammer on the nut... It gives you a bigger target to hit and keeps you from buggering up the threads... Just saying... 😉
Right there with ya on wires in the stainless tube. Had to use the vacuum technique with a stranded wire to allow me to feel the bend so I could manipulate the wire enough to make a tight turn. It took me 6 hours of boat yoga to get a wire to go 4 feet! But man!!! So satisfying when I got it where it was supposed to go.
Hi. I love what you guys doing every time. I did see your concern about the patch. Is because of the stress lots of man get it and if is left untreated you go bold. The medication for is kenalog-40 injection which is triamcinolone acetodine. I had the treatment I'm multiple places and it works perfect after 2-3 weeks you get your hair back. Trust me ask your doctor because this is a prescription here in Canada. It works the best. Good luck with Atticus 2. I am waiting for you guys to see what else you do to it. I build one one my own and hope one day will be seeing each other in different places. I have to thank you for inspiration and the knowledge I got from you by watching your videos. Mine will be an amphibious sail boat hybrid diesel electric and a back up gas engine too mounted on amas. Is more like an amphibious trimaran.
Good luck with the project and your patch.
My boss has a patch I’ve worked with him for several years we’re growing are business and the stress has been the cause of the patch his is getting smaller I wouldn’t worry so much about it buddy ones you get settled and let the stress go I’m willing to bet it goes away
Quick reminder to my friends... Nothing is as easy as it looks on a boat! Another great video. Going to try some of those shrimp & grits!
Running wire is always fun. Here's a trick we've used many times, always with success. With duplex or any sized encased wire cut the end square. About 3/4" of an inch from the end make a hole between the wire and through both sides of the casing. Take a paper clip or piece of similar semi stiff wire and run it through the home and fold it back against the underside of the casing. Punch a second hole about 1/2" from the wire's end. Pass the free end of the paper clip through this hole. Tie a stout string to the paper clip. Then pull the paper clip all the way through as tight as you can bend it back against the casing. Wrap in electrical tape; taper the tape over the string. No rigid edges. That connection can withstand a lot of pressure when you are pulling the string.
I liked the trick with the vacuum .Never thought of that.
Good luck with projects.
My...my...that looks like a tasty dish! Congrats on the boat gymnastics Jordan...an inspiration to all of us DIY'ers. I too had a bunch of hair loss this fall and it was a couple months after a visit to CT.
Yet another incredible video! Love how you’ve now incorporated some segments featuring local businesses, experiences etc. and you get the owner’s to allow you to participate in showing what goes on behind the scenes! Now my wife and I MUST try duplicating the shrimp and grits which we very much enjoyed when travelling south. NOT like this restaurant and that’s what makes it so interesting. Damn I’m hungry now!
Well done Jordan and Desiree!
This is typically called a "grit cake", that may help you find a recipe online.
So, just a trick I use I thought might be good to share. Whenever I have a conduit to pull line through, if there is a chance I will EVER do it again, I pull a line back with the wire, and leave it, so there is always a lead to tie on to instead of fishing through every time.
Great sunset/sunrise shots. There oceans to explore and I’m looking forward to it. It’s time for a bandanna mate!
Get a pneumatic palm nailer, or borrow one, and put a round punch in the magnetic driver. This tool is so useful for driving out all kinds of fasteners. There are compact versions a little bigger than an egg.
My husband was in the Bahamas for a week. His hair had a bald patch almost over night. It was a fungus! He took medicine . The hair came back just not as think as before.
2:15; Oh no buddy!!! That sucks. I totally feel for you. I have heard about similar conditions, and they were stress related. Like losing a patch of hair is not stressful enough!!! I’m sure it’s fine. You are going to live!
Great video guys!!
Welcome mr. side patch, no shame rock it! We all have our insecurities but you look great dude, it unique and pretty sweet shape! Love y’all 🇨🇦
Really like the sidebars with local flavour and local culture. That's a nice addition to your videos. Also it's nice you're upbeat. So much negativity and hatred out there.
A fantastic episode. You've made my day. Thanks a lot.
An A for perseverance! Love your channel, greetings from the Netherlands.
Really loved the content on this episode! Lots of good stuff here, especially the shrimp & grits "how-to"! Thanks for sharing!
The only thing about the grits that I said "huh?" was the egg wash. The 'eggs' came out of a half gallon carton. That said, I'll bet it is good eats.
Great Video - like how you guys show the OOPs along with the glory.
A ton-o-work, yet you will be happy at the finish. Setting her up for amazing cruising experiences. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice episode guys‼️ ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝👙🌞✨
Well, watched this even though it had a somewhat negative title. Very glad as I love solar. I missed why you removed the chain plates, they looked really good. Perfect in fact. Wow, I'd love to taste that. Anything with Shrimp (you did say shrimp right ? ) So good. It reminds me of this special dish I ordered, sitting at a bar in a somewhat fancy restaurant. An interesting lady came out and, my typical shyness, I didn't say much to her. She sat right next to me, didn't say much, I could tell she was watching me eat. Eventually i put two and two together and realized she was the owner and this was a dish new on the menu, and I might have been the first to order it. It was delicious and she could tell I loved it I hope .
I would not have even noticed the side spot unless you pointed it out. Don't stress about it no one else is.
I felt anxiety for you doing all this wiring...but we got through it, lol!!! Your knowledge and determination is inspiring! Thanks for sharing✌💜
Bruh, I would totally rock that patch if It meant getting to live the amazing lifestyle you two are using to celebrate life!!! Keep it up!
95 percent... count your blessings not your losses! You got a bunch
Hang in there you two, I am sure it feels like y’all will never get there but it will happen.
Sincerely enjoy the channel. I am a boater, own a welding company and have worked in and with hospitality at various levels for the last 25 years. My welding business is the oldest in its town and I sincerely appreciate your local awareness and support you are including in your channel bringing the lifestyle restaurants and people experience.
wire pulling is very frustrating. BTW... never hurts to pull an extra string in certain places in case you need to make a future pull, and hopefully you ohm'ed out each wire after the pull just to ensure nothing happened during the pull? Yes, a friend of mine had that alopecia hair loss, stress they think, and got treatments of some kind of steroid injection in scalp, to get it growing back. You have lots cables, a label maker helps when you mark both ends of a cable. If you ever have to start taking things apart it helps it all go back together allot faster.
Love the continuing story of your adventure. Today, the cheese grits! Keep on trucking'.
For pulling wires. Buy a roll of this dynema cord SAMSON ROPE
Lash It! Single Braid Accessory Cord. It has a breaking strength of 500lbs. It is expensive but lasts forever. It is 1/16” x 180’ and slick and a roll will last forever.
Great video again guys learning everyday. Both beauty and brains both of you are amazing to watch .And living the dream my dreams too. God bless you both .
3:10....POI Stagger the length of the pos & neg connections, it makes for a smaller diameter connection that is easier to fit a conduit or make it thru an existing run.
You guys have bitten off a lot to do at one time, so it’s not surprising that you feel overwhelmed at times. Maybe head to Nova Scotia this summer to avoid next hurricane season in the tropics. You may never get the chance again once you head South. And it keeps you in boat project friendly waters to test out all the new systems. It also might make it easier to leave with a few things not quite finished knowing you have Annapolis, Newport, and Maine facilities and easy shipping in your future. Then hightail it South as soon as Hurricane season is calming down.
Great way to start my day...you guys are wonderful!
Thanks for persevering with this lifestyle adventure, week after week, but boy does it seem like endless frustration keeping a boat ready to sail the world!
Thank you Jordan and Desiree. Well done on those chain plates!!! So impressed with your work. Doing it right is going to make the sailing even more enjoyable. ❤️⛵️
I have a boat like yours in that mechanics hate to work on it. I do the work but it takes me double, maybe triple the time. I'm learning a lot about something I prayed not to have to learn. Oh well, at least the work is getting done and rather poorly at times I may add!
I've seen your videos for a very long time, and I've never noticed your patch. I just love your videos. When you come down to Miami please let me know. I would love to meet you guys and see your sailboat.
My dad has something similar to that when I was a kid. It started on the side os his had as a small circle and it grew from there. I think it was related to stress. I will ask them and let you know. But I think it when away on its own. I will keep you abreast.
Oh that’s awesome of that side patch I’m so glad you shared that I remember finding out about Agassiz balding and he tried to keep that and he did he kept that so secret for for so long yeah it’s all good I had a back patch of gray hair way back just a little round circle in the back of my head strange
DON'T worry about the patch mate, bald is trendy. Lifes to short to wory about things you cant change. You seem to be a good bloke regardless
Can you get any more Southern than Glenn? Lovely to see you introduce us to local people like him. Love the insights into local restaurants that you are introducing into your videos. Don't let patch get you down.
Great video, guys! And those shrimp and grits!!! Oh my.
Interesting hair patch. When you get to Istanbul, I have a great surgeon who removed a basal cell carcinoma. He does hair transplants too. If you don't get it fixed, it's all good. I have yet to meet anyone perfect yet.
Jordan, I betcha your patch will get hair again once Atticus 2 is in the water and you guys are setting sail for your new adventure! :)
Love you guys! Hopefully, the stress of all this is not getting you down. Remember, don’t worry about your audience do what is right for you! If you need to not cross the Pacific and stay home and have a family, it is all good.
No joke my boat was ready to sail but one thing always exposes another lol. Can't wait to see you all out there
it’s going to warm up shortly. Keep enjoying NC hospitality. Great job on the new hard top and davit. Dinghy life will be so much more convenient. W I r e s….
Susan & Tony here, Bro that is just a bummer, I am working on dealing with a similar issue only on the back side. Really just sucks. But you have such a great personality so it will be ok,
Stress is hard on our bodies! Jordan, sorry you're dealing with alopecia. Cannibus might help. ❤️
Shrimp and grits, awesome. I've always just done jelly ;)
Jordan, your unique with your SIDE PATCH ! ! Don't be insecure!! I love it! 1. You showed it. 2. You the Man for that Buddy!! You gotta good one Mrs. D (didn't know how to spell your name) sorry. Great Video!
