I'm hijacking top comment but come to Texas. Austin has had over 100 F for 70 straight days. We probably have at least 10 days to go with the current forecast. We barbecue outside on Christmas. We joke that we can't wait for your weather at 94 F. The tragedy in Greece in Hawaii is horrible. I'm not making light of that.
Hi 30°c in a boat in the summer in the med that is normal. You are just complaining to much. My recommendation is sell the boat and by house with air conditioning.
As someone who lives in a relatively warm climate (88°F is winter temps) you installed those fans the wrong way around, all they'll do is push hot air around, what you really want the fans to do is suck the hot air from the boat and blow it out the hatches, so a fan in the centre deck hatch blowing up and turn the others around to blow out the open-able port lights, also you want shade over the hatches and a wet cloth over the forward hatch with a slow water drip on it, the damp cloth will cool the air as it comes in the forward hatch (that's why you need a water drip on it, to keep it damp), basically you want to turn your whole cabin into a giant evaporative cooler (what people used before air-conditioning)
you re right but inside is not air hot, material gets hot.. so you need a cooling down wind, to your body. believe me. thats your concern is when inside air is hot. if the walls are hot... you cannot cool down anything.
@@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill - I thought the owner was going to say "these trees are 2000 years old and I'm 150." I'd be taking a bath in that stuff. Sorry you guys are melting - really enjoyed this episode.
In the summer, we slept on top of the forward cabin in Italy due to the heat. But it was so pretty to see the town lights. We would come back from a trattoria and have a bottle of wine and watch the sky and town lights. It was the best of life.
bonjour sailing project atticus. every saturday afternoon for me, if i'm not working, i watch your vidéos. today's vidéo was alive and real. the portrait on the greek family and their farm was better than any nature show that i've ever seen. two thousand year old trees. the greek empire was still kicking back then. it's a testiment too about the awesome reality of nature and of our earth. as a believer of creation, what a life-time gift is olive oil. thanks again for the vidéo, and if i may suggest, wear lighter clothes and non dark color clothes. white swimming attire or the like. when i'm home in the south of France, it's light yellow or white for me. i love the heat, but i know how to regulate the heat being a former inhabitant of southern california. cheers
Your storytelling and editing skills amp up with every episode. Such a complete look at the many aspects of your cruising lifestyle. Beautiful coverage of the Greek family and their ancient family agriculture. For me, you've now surpassed several other sailing channels I used to prefer (not that it's a contest). You're living your best lives... thanks for sharing all the ups and downs and showing that it can be done (even with a new baby...you guys are thriving!!).
Wonderful episode !! I never cease to be amazed about how easily you can meet with people on your travels and almost instantly develop a personal relationship with them. Demitri opened a window to his farm , family and lifestyle which most travels would never have known about. Other similar in depth visits such as the great segments you had with the vodka makers and restaurant owners in Washington,NC come to mind. Great stuff.....
19:34 It is absolutely amazing to me that the trees are thousands of years old. I am awestruck by the history of their farm! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!!
Love your baby Issa..... sh'e so adorable...always with an infectious smile.... thanks for sharing your awesome life .... I'm living your life vicariously from the comfort of my reclining chair in cool San Diego, CA. Just sold my powerboat (34 ft Searay Sundancer). I was into sailing when we were in Monterey, CA. (35 ft Hunter). 😊🙏👍
Gotta say that Dimitri was an absolute gem. I remember 40 years ago when I was 12 years old we went to Greece as a family and we listened to story from the old Greeks fishermen none of which has as many fingers as they were born with and it was an exquisite part of my early life. It seems that the tradition of sharing and telling of story and knowledge is still a real part of the culture and it is wonderful. I applaud you on finding the positives at the time of great trial and tribulation for the Greek people where their tourist economy has been decimated by the fires. I am glad you reminded us that even in difficult times there’s traditions going back to the earliest biblical times, as some of those trees have done, are kept in the minds a folks today. With this video your transcend from the sailing vlog through the travel vlog to the cultural vlog. May your eyes be ever captured by the wonders of humanity and of this planet we have dominion of…
Hi guys ... a windscoop for the forward hatch would be great. Also, have a shade canvas made for the boat and hang it when you are stopped. It should cover the forward part of the boat and you can make it go around the mast to shade the salon area, also. However, with a baby on board and a wife that suffers from heat, AC would be a worthwhile addition. They are not too expensive and worth their weight in gold. If you are gonna be around the equator, it is almost mandatory. Love your channel .,.. actually, my very favorite !!
I knew a welder that got a contract to work on the pipelines in Saudi Arabia...he got to his jobsite with a jug with cold drinks to beat the heat...during work and the breaks the locals drank hot tea, and somehow thier bodies covered in loose clothing and drinking hot tea refreshed them. This story stuck with me...and same as those cool fans you installed, maybe it is the right time to see if the hot tea does the trick..the tour on the vineyard was super cool, it enriched the episode.
My grandparents came from the Old Country, Russia, and their custom to cool off on a hot California day was to drink hot tea. They would say, Never drink anything cooler than your body temperature.
This was the BESTEST video ever- sure hope it cools down for you all. I so enjoyed your touring the olive field and the kindness of the owner who explained so much about his family history and the quality of these olive oils. Amazing!! Thank you so much!! .
We are cruisers who are currently in Grenada. Also hot! We found some relief in a product called Breeze Busters (no affiliation) that fit over your hatches and scoop the wind. Thanks for the video.
Great episode. Made me feel a bit homesick. I grew up in central Pennsylvania and my relatives came to PA with the group of Dutch along with William Penn. Our family farm (My bro and his son, and son's son live there now) started in 1747. Soon it will be 300 years of Fetterman's on that land. Almost all, farmers. I am an outlier, visiting Kenya as a kid, and criss crossing the country for decades. I live in WA now. an realizing at the time it was a tough life on the farm, and Iwould love sailing the world, but I am glad I grew up that way.
I love all of your videos.and with the drone use looking down is fantastic. I'm sorry that Desiree gets bad headaches. I understand because I get them if I'm in the sun for a while.. I would love to know what the temperature of the ocean is where you are. I'm sure it's great for swimming. I want to thank both of you for sharing your life with us. Have a great memorial Day weekend.
Yes another great episode. Love the attention to the local people, lives and architecture. Keep it up. Salvation may be on the way for fan sounds. New design for fan blades are coming, MUCH MUCH less sound and greatly increased efficiency. Also obviously your captain skills are up to the top level, Editing and voice over skills are legend, Diving skills ..... maybe NOT so much. 🤠 thanks for the adventure and taking us along.
Another possibility is pump water from deep to a radiator to copl air or use it to spray the deck directly. It would only be temporary relief. but would be perfect for emergency relief. Use the cool the cold water to help the boat to cool. A garage sun shade would help cool the deck. Buy a garage sun shade and spray it with deep water to make a huge cover use PVC and make a hoop house! It would act like a large evaporative cooler! You could even use small sprayer like misters to keep the garage shader wet. You should be able to drop temp. considerably!
I can not tell you how much I love you guys, how proud I am for you and of you. I normally do not enjoy baby stuff, but I love love love your baby. Leaving for Bahamas in Nov for my first long sail. Counting my pennies, struggling, but I am gonna go no matter what and part of that resolve is due to your channel :) Just wanted you to know what an impact you have...
Desiree & Jordan, thanks for sharing your Greek adventure. The olive farm tour was awesome. What a great guy and so hospitable. To think his family has been there for hundreds or more years is amazing. Next project AC....right Desiree??❤
I heard about those high temperatures in Greece and Southern Europe, thank goodness we didn't get them here in Ireland but we did get rain, possibly the wettest summer in a long while. Nothing is ever perfect but we make the most of what we got! Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!
They are lying! The data shows that not only this was one of the wettest summers we ever had (June had way above normal rainfall almost across the whole country- juxtaposed to a multidecadal baseline) but also one of the coolest. August temperatures are often into the 40C and this year were something like 35-36 even 31s-32s. We had a few heatwaves during July but that's every year for as far back as I can have access to weather data. There were far hotter years in the distant past but the media love scaremongering and clickbaits.
Exactly, lived in zakynthos and this year cooler summer than past years. Spain is much hotter and hasn't rained until Sept 2. Madrid is the hottest urban center city f no trees no shade and bad construction materials that collect the extreme heat waves.
Leaving in the tropics I’ve found using a wind scoop in the forward hatch with a small window fan in the companion way (blowing out of the boat ) you effect a wind tunnel. Works a treat
I live in the south of France in a village called Cabasse and it's been the same temp you have had in Greece too! It has in the last week could down and indoors it is now no more than 26.2° so you have my sympathies and I have had to have a vertical fan blowing at me daily and at night too! Glad you can at least have trips out to coolish spots! Your dear little girl is so sweet! have fun and thanks for posting your times in the med! 😉😊👍
It's called weather and it goes up and down. This year we had the Tonga volcanic eruption in the South Pacific and a new El Nino. The eruption increased water vapor in the planet's atmosphere by about 10% if not more! Water vapor is theoretically a greenhouse gas and the most abundant in the atmosphere. There's one source of this year's warming, right there!
I'm sure you are aware of the new small AC unit that are available. You didn't mention them, so I am. You should look into one. That is about all I know, unfortunately. I see them on other sail boats. Your electrical system is pretty robust, so it should be doable.❤❤❤
OMG, I was on a boat with 4 of those fans earlier this year. We were in both San Blas, Panama and the equator. They are quiet, powerful, and 'silent'. They are the best!
I am an over the road truck driver. The last truck I had had good insulation in a small compartment and great battery run. Air conditioning it works like a charm, but you have to insulate.
You need a "Fantastic Fans or 2". We use them in RV's, but you could mount it in one of the hatches, which is similar to hatch in an RV. Mount it in the forward hatch and it will pull fresh air from the other hatches that are open. It would create a fresh air circulation on the inside. Not just any fan, go with "Fantastic Fan" They are low impact to on Batteries.
Hi guys, regarding strainer issue. Look at ordinary home pools strainers, they usually have one or more strainers. An example of the idea is taking domestic water particle filtration vessel (like the ones that come with the RO water makers) and instead of placing a filter , make a cylindrical wire basket and cover it with some kind of polyester cloth or cheese cloth type so as to allow a good flow of water and yet not be haunted by clogging. Hope that makes sense, is doable and works for yall. Creative adaptive solutions
As a European of 43 years i can confirm its no warmer than any other year. Only thing that has changed is extremists starting fires ao Greta the swidish goblin can say HOW DARE YOU!
We had the same problem. We had an ohning covering from the mask to the aft of the boat. This kept the boat cool during the day. Getting fans so you can move the air in the cabin is also our suggestion. Good luck
I had to watch twice! My wife is behind me asking questions about the olive growing process, where you guys are, and how does Desiree look so good in a bikini so soon after having a baby! Distractions, distractions! Ah, unrelenting heat! I've been there! I love your videos. Thanks. Oh, and Jordan, you are a beast!
I just signed up with Babbel with your link!! Recently renewed my passport so eventually I plan to travel with the wife. $250 to learn any language, for life! That's amazing and will definitely help my high school kids with their classes too!!
If it's hot and winds are light, tie your anchor rode to your stern cleats and let the companionway/cockpit/aft part of boat face into the wind. Yeah, white hull and deck will help too. If you rig a sunshade it should be porous to let hot air escape up through the fabric. We made ours from two layers of weed block material. Blocks the sun and lets hot air escape up.
You ought to install a 12,000 BTU Mr. Cool AC unit on your boat. Low energy consumption, easy to install, and work’s fantastic. I installed on on my RV. It’s a 110AC volt unit and I believe it’s 900 watts. It also works as a heater in the winter time. Love your boat life🤗
I was born in Greece’s neighbor, Turkey. That wasn’t hot enough for me so I moved to Texas. We were averaging 107 f last week in Dallas. Y’all try to stay cool. Fair winds!
Engineers! SHEESH! As an engineer, I believe that I can comment. Yes, the strainer should be before the check valve. I'll say that we have so much to deal with during a design that is both time and cost limited. I've made those mistakes. I've also corrected other engineer's mistakes. But you are correct, the strainer should come before the check valve that collects all of the debris. Move the check valve!
Well designed. Full. Boat. Shade. It can be expensive and takes time to put up and take down, but worth every penny when you are in the tropics or full sun. We haven't started cruising yet, but we won't leave without one. Great video, stay cool!
Loved the olive farm tour and Jordan's heritage talk as well! You guys are cool and hopefully you'll Be Cool again soon!😊 We enjoy your videos, Thank You!!❤
Breeze Bandit is a great solution for increasing ventilation in a boat. The ingenious design allows it to catch breeze from any direction and funnel it down an open hatch, so it even works when the boat is not pointed into the wind.
I melted watching this episode but the crystalline water scenes were soo nice. Im in Vegas and we just got a ton on monsoon rain, yuppy! PLEASE get two shade clothes 80 percent block out just use cloth pins attach tor he middle, drape it over and there you go. A few summers ago our air conditioner finally died, IN VEGAS, USING COLD WATER INSIDE SPRAY BOTTLE UNDER THE CIELING FAN became a great way to keep cool, you could the same, JUST SPRAY INTO THE AIR INFRONT OF THE FAN, ALSO WORE LIGHT CLOTHING, SHOWERED IN THEM. IT HELPED KEEPING ME COOL. IT TOOK A over a week to get a new air conditioner love you ,ALL great job !
I love this olive farm tour! Wow! Fascinating for me! We have friends that purchased an olive oil farm in California in Ojai (Ventura County), but the fire a few years ago ravaged it! I hope this Greek olive farm is very protected! Beautiful!
DES, IMPORTANT HEAT HELP, - put ice rolled in a light dish towel and let it dampen. Then put the towel on the back of the neck. As a carpenter on those hottest days I learned this trick. The back of the neck has many nerve endings. It has worked for me. I hope it works for you.
thank you guys sorry for the heat but the ocean does make you feel great and its free and enjoyable all the time , such a great lifetime enjoy with good health good vibes and great videos for us to enjoy with you ciao salute and great sailing see you soon next time
Hey Atticus, love this episode also. great info about the boat. I just came back from Greece in July 2023 and know exactly how your feel about trying to escape that heat. Best time is September. Did that in 2022. Isa so beautiful and always wishing you all the best. Hi Orsu too. Tom L Staten Island.
While you guys are dealing with the heat I am sitting in an Airconditioned Apartment in the states we did not have AC growing up just getting dad to turn on the attic fan was a big deal. You don't really remember the sweltering as much as the methods that brought simple relief. Isabella will have unique memories growing up when she starts to talk it will be interesting.
Hey folks; you could build a natural AC system by using deep cooler water and a very small electric pump at the surface to create a venturi effect pump to bring the cool water up you could let that water run passively over the boat hull or build a copper pipe radiator effect and a fan will cool the interior off in no time. Copper pipe is best and you can build it in a day. All you are doing is forcing cool water up from the depths to cool your boat. A very small electric pump will work. Remember; you are not pumping water directly from the depths you are drawing the up by using the discharge of the pump only. I build these when I have a barge or ship I'm salvaging from the bottom and have to build a dredge system. I'm going to build one and mount it on the hull of my boat.
I lived in Greece in the late 70's/early 80's. Temperatures of 115 DegF were common, also have picture evidence of wild fires burning in the hills that required days of water bombers to put out. Weather patterns are cyclical, this is NOT new, just "new" to the younger generation who are being duped into believing that "this is not normal".
I guess the question everyone will be asking is why can't an ac unit be installed on atticus? There are some excellent units now that run on 12 volt and are so efficient they can run on a moderate solar system. It would be a great project to watch.
We just added 800ah of lithium and connected it all to the CruiseAir. Not particularly efficient but we are cool at anchor when needed. With our solar and the Balmar we can still be energy positive. Combine that with a sunshade and those fans and you’re good to go. Great episode!

WOW! Really enjoyed the show today. The olive farm tour was great. You guys are really great educators and tour guides.
Thanks 4 sharing 🙂

Awesome video guys. ❤🙌🏼🙏🏻

Fav 30 minutes today! Loved the information u provided re Greece & olive farm ❤from 🇨🇦
Talk to Clark at Emily and Clark's Adventure about getting you a boat A/C. He's an electrical genius.
I am an over the road truck driver. The last truck I had had good insulation in a small compartment and great battery run. Air conditioning it works like a charm, but you have to insulate.
You need a "Fantastic Fans or 2". We use them in RV's, but you could mount it in one of the hatches, which is similar to hatch in an RV. Mount it in the forward hatch and it will pull fresh air from the other hatches that are open. It would create a fresh air circulation on the inside. Not just any fan, go with "Fantastic Fan" They are low impact to on Batteries.
Hi guys, regarding strainer issue. Look at ordinary home pools strainers, they usually have one or more strainers. An example of the idea is taking domestic water particle filtration vessel (like the ones that come with the RO water makers) and instead of placing a filter , make a cylindrical wire basket and cover it with some kind of polyester cloth or cheese cloth type so as to allow a good flow of water and yet not be haunted by clogging. Hope that makes sense, is doable and works for yall. Creative adaptive solutions
As a European of 43 years i can confirm its no warmer than any other year. Only thing that has changed is extremists starting fires ao Greta the swidish goblin can say HOW DARE YOU!
We had the same problem. We had an ohning covering from the mask to the aft of the boat. This kept the boat cool during the day.
Getting fans so you can move the air in the cabin is also our suggestion.
Good luck
I had to watch twice! My wife is behind me asking questions about the olive growing process, where you guys are, and how does Desiree look so good in a bikini so soon after having a baby! Distractions, distractions! Ah, unrelenting heat! I've been there! I love your videos. Thanks. Oh, and Jordan, you are a beast!
😂 I thought the same thing, dang our girl Des looks awesome after just having carried a Baby Bump for 9 months!
We love Babbel. I'm studying Greek at the moment and really love it.
I just signed up with Babbel with your link!! Recently renewed my passport so eventually I plan to travel with the wife. $250 to learn any language, for life! That's amazing and will definitely help my high school kids with their classes too!!
I loved this tour.
Thank you
If it's hot and winds are light, tie your anchor rode to your stern cleats and let the companionway/cockpit/aft part of boat face into the wind. Yeah, white hull and deck will help too. If you rig a sunshade it should be porous to let hot air escape up through the fabric. We made ours from two layers of weed block material. Blocks the sun and lets hot air escape up.
Thanks very much
I always look forward to your video! Well done! A beautiful family!
You ought to install a 12,000 BTU Mr. Cool AC unit on your boat. Low energy consumption, easy to install, and work’s fantastic. I installed on on my RV. It’s a 110AC volt unit and I believe it’s 900 watts. It also works as a heater in the winter time. Love your boat life🤗
you know I really like the content and the production value is very good. thank you
I was born in Greece’s neighbor, Turkey. That wasn’t hot enough for me so I moved to Texas. We were averaging 107 f last week in Dallas. Y’all try to stay cool. Fair winds!
A long time fan, I don't comment, but I enjoyed this vlog so much I had to say so, great show, lots of info and awesome scenery!!!!❤❤❤
I hope U can afford AC sooner rather than later! Thanks 4 showing us the olive farm. Safe travels ❤
I wish I was there. So many beautiful scallops. Also the purple barnacles just amaze me. Thank you for the beach trip.
Just to correct the closed captioning, I believe Dimitry said his farm is 2 hectares - which would be about 5 acres.
Engineers! SHEESH! As an engineer, I believe that I can comment. Yes, the strainer should be before the check valve. I'll say that we have so much to deal with during a design that is both time and cost limited. I've made those mistakes. I've also corrected other engineer's mistakes. But you are correct, the strainer should come before the check valve that collects all of the debris. Move the check valve!
one of my favorite videos ,hello from Asheville NC
Thankx that was a cool! Episode.
I have to say that our fave new mom is looking pretty dang great, and not just for a new mom.
Nice tour...❤
Well designed. Full. Boat. Shade. It can be expensive and takes time to put up and take down, but worth every penny when you are in the tropics or full sun. We haven't started cruising yet, but we won't leave without one. Great video, stay cool!
How good was the farm tour. What a great person
Loved the olive farm tour and Jordan's heritage talk as well! You guys are cool and hopefully you'll Be Cool again soon!😊 We enjoy your videos, Thank You!!❤
Another good one. You guys are on a roll.👍👍
Love "the obstacle is the way" tat
Breeze Bandit is a great solution for increasing ventilation in a boat. The ingenious design allows it to catch breeze from any direction and funnel it down an open hatch, so it even works when the boat is not pointed into the wind.
I melted watching this episode but the crystalline water scenes were soo nice. Im in Vegas and we just got a ton on monsoon rain, yuppy! PLEASE get two shade clothes 80 percent block out just use cloth pins attach tor he middle, drape it over and there you go. A few summers ago our air conditioner finally died, IN VEGAS, USING COLD WATER INSIDE SPRAY BOTTLE UNDER THE CIELING FAN became a great way to keep cool, you could the same, JUST SPRAY INTO THE AIR INFRONT OF THE FAN, ALSO WORE LIGHT CLOTHING, SHOWERED IN THEM. IT HELPED KEEPING ME COOL. IT TOOK A over a week to get a new air conditioner love you ,ALL great job !
I love this olive farm tour! Wow! Fascinating for me! We have friends that purchased an olive oil farm in California in Ojai (Ventura County), but the fire a few years ago ravaged it! I hope this Greek olive farm is very protected! Beautiful!
Your dog is amazing...such a great friend
Living your best life..
👍👍😎💪💯
Hope you get some relief from the heat soon!😅❤😊 Great episode. Always interesting and informative.
Another great video!! Loved the farm tour! Little Issa is soooo cute!!
Wow the video auditing is amazing - well done!
DES, IMPORTANT HEAT HELP, - put ice rolled in a light dish towel and let it dampen. Then put the towel on the back of the neck. As a carpenter on those hottest days I learned this trick. The back of the neck has many nerve endings. It has worked for me. I hope it works for you.
Great job you three!
When is the air conditioning coming?
Al least for one room!
❤ from 🇨🇦
Defender has a Breeze Booster for the port lights which has a screen. I recommend you get those.
thank you guys sorry for the heat but the ocean does make you feel great and its free and enjoyable all the time , such a great lifetime enjoy with good health good vibes and great videos for us to enjoy with you ciao salute and great sailing see you soon next time
Yes, a couple of wind scoops for the hatches and an awning over the boom will really cool things down!
Hey Atticus, love this episode also. great info about the boat. I just came back from Greece in July 2023 and know exactly how your feel about trying to escape that heat. Best time is September. Did that in 2022. Isa so beautiful and always wishing you all the best. Hi Orsu too.
Tom L Staten Island.
A very interesting commentary on the olive farm.
Thanks guys, nice episode
While you guys are dealing with the heat I am sitting in an Airconditioned Apartment in the states we did not have AC growing up just getting dad to turn on the attic fan was a big deal. You don't really remember the sweltering as much as the methods that brought simple relief. Isabella will have unique memories growing up when she starts to talk it will be interesting.
Just want to add that those glasses look SO GOOD on you!!! Love them!! 😍
Hi from Nashville usa
Love watching your video you guys are awesome good luck with the heat
Hey folks; you could build a natural AC system by using deep cooler water and a very small electric pump at the surface to create a venturi effect pump to bring the cool water up you could let that water run passively over the boat hull or build a copper pipe radiator effect and a fan will cool the interior off in no time.
Copper pipe is best and you can build it in a day. All you are doing is forcing cool water up from the depths to cool your boat.
A very small electric pump will work.
Remember; you are not pumping water directly from the depths you are drawing the up by using the discharge of the pump only.
I build these when I have a barge or ship I'm salvaging from the bottom and have to build a dredge system.
I'm going to build one and mount it on the hull of my boat.
I lived in Greece in the late 70's/early 80's. Temperatures of 115 DegF were common, also have picture evidence of wild fires burning in the hills that required days of water bombers to put out. Weather patterns are cyclical, this is NOT new, just "new" to the younger generation who are being duped into believing that "this is not normal".
Thanks for sharing your adventures. Find a way to mount a fan in the mid hatch, blowing out, to keep the air moving.
Loving the song 👍🏼👍🏼❤
I guess the question everyone will be asking is why can't an ac unit be installed on atticus? There are some excellent units now that run on 12 volt and are so efficient they can run on a moderate solar system. It would be a great project to watch.
We just added 800ah of lithium and connected it all to the CruiseAir. Not particularly efficient but we are cool at anchor when needed. With our solar and the Balmar we can still be energy positive. Combine that with a sunshade and those fans and you’re good to go. Great episode!
