We Bought a Bluewater Sailboat | S05E11

- We fall in love and put an offer on a Pacific Seacraft 40. Our offer is accepted, so all that’s left to secure our new boat is a survey, sea trial and rig inspection. We’re super nervous but excited to take what could be our new home out on the water and test all of it’s systems. After the survey we encounter some setbacks which make us question if the deal will go through or if we’ll have to start right back at square one on our search for Atticus II.

So why am I getting choked up? You guys started as good story tellers. Now you are world class story tellers. As good as I've seen. Congrats on the new home.
Well said!
I felt same way. Made me feel like their family.
Yep I agree 💯% Y'all have become family and it kinda brought a tear there at the end, a tear of joy and happiness for you both. Congrats! Looking forward to many new adventures and story's from Atticus 2.
'' DONT YOU MEAN,''THERE SPEECHLESS,LOL..
The previous owner clearly also had a hard time letting go of your beautiful new Atticus II. Cant blame him. Think of all the memories they had. May you have the wind in your sails and travel all across the globe for many many years to come!
Late in 1976 I separated from the USAF and with my wife of 3 years relocated to Seattle Washington. Over the next 6 years I would learn to sail and with some friends from work we would often take a San Juan 24 (?) out for the afternoon during good weather. I would often see the Pacific Seacraft Orions moored at the marina and my mouth watered. These boats displayed all of the outward appearance that I longed for in a sailing craft. After talking with a few owners at the next boat show they became the embodiment of my dreams. In 1982 my mom took ill and we relocated back to the east coast and my life and career became a roller coaster ride. That dream went to the bone yard years ago and now, at 70, it's a distant memory. I have been watching your channel for about a year, up until about 2 years ago when my life started to demand more of my time, but now that I have some time again I turned to your channel and watched the last few episodes with some interest until you mentioned Pacific Seacraft. The very moment I read those words I knew this was the boat for you. That feeling, and my judgement, certainly may have been influenced that you're getting to live a dream that was only a fleeting moment in my life, but I am so very glad for you. They are the stuff that dreams are made of. Their builds are robust, and after having watched 3 seasons of your channel before stopping I was certain this was the one for you. This particular boat will have issues, they all do, but every time you sail into a harbor all eyes will turn to you, your pulse will race and your heart will know that you are alive. When the broker finally called with the good news, the tears came freely and with joy for you both. I'm looking forward to catch up now, I hope the new boat is turning out to be everything that you hoped for and will serve you and the pending family for years to come. God bless you both and thank you for permitting me to get a small glimpse of a long forgotten dream. May the winds forever be at your backs. 💙💙💙
First rule of negotiation, always be prepared to walk away. The second rule, never tell the seller how much you love an item.
If the seller’s broker knew you were holed up in a hotel room with all of your gear and ready to move on board then your “walk away” power was seriously compromised. Similar with international business deals - never let the other side know when your flight back home is scheduled to depart, your counterpart will run down the clock every time to force a compromise. (2k comments already - maybe this has been said somewhere below) Best wishes and congratulations on your new home!
Concur with the first rule, but I have mixed feelings about the second. These are very emotional transactions to both parties, wouldn't you rather like who is taking over your love, someone that appreciates it like you do?
@@rayf8162 Well said, I was thinking the same thing, they sure did run down the clock here, hard to know why.
@@seandelaney1700 Have you ever read Donald Trump's the art of the deal? No matter how you feel about him you ought to read the book. In this instance because they weren't willing to walk away they lost $5,000, plus what did they say it took 2 weeks extra for the seller to come back with a second offer. Look at the extra cost for the hotel room alone. The seller knew how eager they were and that's why they drew it out to find out just how eager they were. The other thing you got to remember the two greatest days of a boat owners life are, the day you buy it and the day you sell it, they should have used the second day to their advantage. Personally I would have walked away, what's the old saying the next one who blinks loses, they should have waited for the seller to blink.
@@satguy I read a fair bit of it a long time ago. They came up in price because the alternator started to work. In the end their offer was accepted, it was just nerve racking and yeah, it was bugging me too about the hotel. I'm sure the seller knew his boat worked so wanted to see it for himself, which he partially proved and saved $2500. It is hard to know why the seller stalled later when he ended up accepting the last offer. Overall I think they did well. And they got possibly their best video out of it.
Right now I’m being bullied at my school it’s something that many have gone through and many are going to encounter and your videos help me a whole bunch thanks 🙏
I'm so sorry that you are being bullied. It is never easy to go through. I have always been a thick girl. I was bullied at school from Pre-K (I was as tall (thus thicker) as a 5th grader) all the way through high school. It was tough but I made it through. Once out of that small microcosm, there is a whole world out there...you can find more like minded people, people that you feel comfortable with and who like you for you. My best advice is be kind, let your kindness and graciousness shine through. Let it be the shield you carry. Let other's see or hear their nastiness and let it just roll off like it never bothers you. If you have to give them a look, perfect a pitying smile, like you know they are hurting so bad and you feel sorry for them. Let your kind actions speak louder than their words. Cultivate your talents and interests. Volunteer to help others less fortunate than you find peace in that. And when you are my age, you can look back on your life and say, I am doing good in this world. I am better than I wanted to be and I am doing no harm to others. I'm 48, still thick.....well loved by my husband and children, respected by my parents, colleagues and friends. All of my needs are met and most of my wants are met. It gets better and goes by faster when you work on your talents and interests. Please reach out, if you need to.
I like what Maggie Braun has to say and I will add 1 more thing. The people that Bully you probably have some problem with their home life. Maybe Mom and Dad drink too much and take it out on their children. In order to feel better about themselves they try and tear you down to make you feel Less Than them. Don't let that work. When you graduate your life will change for the better, you will be in charge of your life. Hang in there kid and don't let the bastards get you down.
I was bullied like a lot of kids, I was small in school. I went from 5’2” in 10 th grade to 5’8” in 11 th grade and finally 6’2” as a senior. He kept hitting me just about everyday in 10th grade, then in 11 th grade. He started to do it again and I finally stood up to him, after that he left me alone. Sometimes you just have to stand up to them and most of the time they back down. Try talking to them and being nice, if they continue your best bet is to go talk to your teacher or counselor. It’s always best to avoid a fight, a lot of time they do this because they feel inadequate or their parents might be hard on them. I saw him about 10 years later in a different state and we had a couple of beers together at the bar we were at.Try to forgive them and put it behind you, that way it does not cause you problems later in life. Forgiveness is always the way.
Dear snow owel the only reason they bully you is because of you stop being a pussy an hook those jumper cables up makem see sparks shure u might get your ass beat but that hurts alot less than living with regret the rest of your life !!! Dont use that but they bigger than me xcuse eather ...have u ever seen a Philippinena fight they small a hell but that nevr stop them from being world champion
Brings back memories. Be kind, speak from strength/skill, be honest. Learn to defend yourself by sidestepping the aggressor, and letting them make fools of themselves,.Back it up with skills. No one wins if someone is badly hurt. A black eye, busted lip....a lesson learned. Someone maimed or killed? No one wins, totally unforgivable.
Pentimento looks like she was very well cared for by the original owner. Probably lots of great family memories there. I’m sure the owners are pleased it will land in your capable and loving arms ⛵️A toast to your new memories 🥂
Never have I been somewhat emotionally invested into a channel as I am with you guys. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Been watching you guys since the start. You really worked hard to get to this point. A true story of hard work, passion, and determination, you certainly deserve your new Atticus II.
Thank you so much for the buying a boat series!! Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed watching!! Cannot wait for what comes next!!
Was really a big help watching your channel 😁 I am going for a test drive tomorrow and know exactly how u felt 🙈
Everything changes now even how you fold your underwear, where the cooking knives are kept, Where and how everything is gonna be stowed . What an adventure. Dodger design, water catchment, head room, solar panels. You've created a loving community of invested Armchair sailors . You will be flooded with ideas on how to do things. Have fun
yes! yes! yes! - well done team. well done. as well Bernie and team sailing life who helped to find and review of yachts. much love friends! :) m.
That boat is a work of art. I'm so happy she's found a good home. Treat her right!
Alternator brushes stick when they are on their way out. Same thing happened with Taylor's Travels recently.
Most people would replace with an upgraded one so that you're sure of it's reliability and performance.
Thank you for including us in your lives. We all appreciate it.
Much love from Cornwall, UK
Dont go to Oreilly auto parts or Auto Zone to get it,lol.
A good smack with a wrench works
Alternator are pretty reliable, most common issues are brushes, bearings and diode packs. All inexpensive and easy to replace. But if you’ve got lots of money go for an $800 Balmar. I prefer a Delco that you can source parts worldwide.
The brushes are a major matter - yes.
Perhaps there may even be an old mechanical regulator that is stuck. If that's the case I would recommend to replace the regulator by a modern from Stearling or Mastervolt - these are amazing. And with such a modern regulator you do a step towards a lithium system.
If there was an newer alternator than the motor: I heard that modern alternators need high rpm (some 6000) - much more than a normal diesel engine. So there should be a speed transformation via belt rims. Perhaps a new larger pulley might improve a lot.
The boat was laid up in a long, cold, New England winter. There is a little corrosion on everything. She’s got to stretch out and get back in the swing.
Buying a house can be the same way. It becomes a very emotional experience. Congratulations to you both, what a beautiful boat.
True
They bought their home.
And the music is so well chosen to the suspense of your story.
I would've stuck to my guns at $200k... That alternator needs replaced anyway to ensure reliability. That's a critical system and shouldn't be left to "oh, it started working so it's fine..."
Yeah, at the least is possibly a new regulator, at worst a new alternator. Good luck guys, nice boat and in the end, if you and the seller are both happy with the price, that’s all that matters!🇦🇺
Breathe now please. What a memory for you and future family, Wow. Now time to breathe, and just live your dream. Thanks for terrific videos. Bless You.
Wow! What an amazing video capturing the excitement and emotions involved with stepping into the next chapter of your lives. Excited to watch the upcoming journey.
“This is home.” I am so happy, someone is peeling onions! Your story and presentation was perfect, thanks for not ending in a “cliff hanger.” Now the fun begins. I am looking so forward to traveling along with the “Buds” and sharing your adventures.
Lol I was thinking the same thing near the end. This better not be a cliff hanger lol.
Nice boat, congratulations. We moved up from 35 to 40 in 2018, so nice to have the extra space, speed and comfort
Coming back to this video in 2022 knowing you guys are now expecting and about to set sails for the open seas! ♥️ having been watching you guys since you were on the hunt for Atticus 1! My heart is so full!
🤗 thank you! I need to re-watch this one again too!
Her wakeless passage shown by the drone shots was impressive, clean smooth entry, go anywhere passage maker.
To me, it looked the tide was falling ....hard, equating to no wake. Every boat...especially a displacement hull produces a wake.
Did do on that 😎
Grats to you guys for finding your new home! I'm so excited for you both and this new boat will be in such good hands. You've both worked so hard and this is a much deserved new chapter in your story!
Sl1pg8r! I didn't know you watch them too! Thats so cool. What a small world! Love your content and been a fan for a couple years now. Since ark first started being a thing. 😁
sl1pg8r / sailing project Atticus....... this is the crossover we need to see!! I'm sure Jordan and Desiree would be awesome for you to talk to about the crappy time you have had looking for your first boat!!
Very elegant boat i hope it provided you wirh all that you need ro travel the world. Oit of curiosity where did you get the money? . We are thinking of building a catamaran but we don't have the money yet. We hooe you will consoder sailing to usla mujeres again and doind a meet and greet so we can meet you and see your gorgeous boat in person. Wishing you many best regards and fun on the water and think good and well before raising children on a sailboat. Who will help with passages. I saw a video of sv Delos where kazza seemed pretty bummed out and i admired her honesty when she said everything she enjoyed about sailing prior to having her baby she no longer enjoys. I admired her honesty and you would do well to take heed to what she said. I know she recanted becuase i think she had to. She didnt want to come off negative about having her baby. Bryan always looks exhuasted becuase he has to do all the navigating while she cares for the nugget. I guess if you have a third person on board who can help share the shift on passages or help with a baby that helps a great deal but if not how will you manage? Have you considered what will happen if you have a special need kid? Its something to think about long and hard. And eventually when your child grows up, is going to need friends, and social interacrion, i think all around sailing is very challenging at times and with a child on board will add to those challenges. Not to mention financial aspect Speaking from experience the illusion of having children is different from actually raising them. But we wish you the very best and cant wait to see you happy onboard in your new home. Its gorgeous
slippp!!!!!!! what up broo!!!
at least i didn't find you on the weird side of TH-cam, looking at stuff and things.
Job well done and for those of us looking from the out side in I believe all would agree the two of you certainly earned this in more ways than one. Enjoy, love and peace !
For me, the absolute best video! I loved watching all of the emotions and interactions. Also, the silent teamwork between you both is amazing. Cant wait for the next episode! May GOD continue to bless you both and keep you both safe.
I shouldn't be so happy for people I don't even know. It speaks to how well you guys make your content. What a great channel. Congrats on your boat and good luck on sailing and starting your family eventually. We are here for it! :)
So goes negotiation. The seller knew you _REALLY_ wanted the boat and they were willing to work to get their price. I'm glad you stuck with Bernie to get an agreement.
I saw that this was posted earlier and just got the chance to watch it. First, congratulations! Second, awesome video that lead me through all (at least most of) the emotional roller coaster of finalizing the transaction. As I watched the end, I could almost feel the exhaustion that engulfs one after resolution of days of anxiety about your future. I could imagine the comfort of reclining in the evening for your first night aboard....and the interrupted sleep that comes from every unexpected sound during that first night. A new home with strange new sounds...she moves differently to the waves...and everything seems amazing and wonderful - but strange. I wish you quick accommodation to your new home. Thank you for sharing the journey to Atticus II. I look forward to the journeys of Atticus II. Much love and comfort to you both.
Happy for you two and for the Atticus II journey that now continues! God Bless and safe sailing!
Awesome, the tensions, the waiting, the frikking stalling, and finally seeing you two moving in, broth tears to my eye, so happy for you guys
You two handled the stressful limbo like champs. You two deserve this. I am so happy for you. Congratulations on your new home. The future is so full of hope and possibility now.
I am so happy for you both! Seeing people win is one of my favorite things in life and you guys just won big. The adventure continues!!! Cheers!
We are so excited for you!!! Congratulations! What a thrilling moment! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. We look forward to it each week. Can’t wait for your new adventures!!
Congratulations guys. The long dedication and hours you put into Atticus to achieve your dreams landed you here. It has been great following your journey. I have always wished Atticus was a better boat for you. Especially watching the hard work, money, tears, and time you invested. From your first video to now. It was hard living, but it got you here. I am very happy Atticus II is the boat. That sadly Atticus could never be for you. It makes me very happy to see you in a boat that now reflects your hard work and diligence. Congratulations again. I love to see dreams come true.
My husband and I have been watching your journey for years and you are one of the main channels that inspired us to look for a cruising boat to live on by the end of 2021. We're so happy for you and def teared up watching this! Always great to see others' dreams coming true! Congrats and looking forward to watching the journey unfold!
I am 18 years old already planning to live in yacht and cruise the world
Target is to start in 2025-26 if everything go as I have planned
$210,000 can buy you a house with land in most states.
@@jonothandoeser bro we are sea lovers
@@ancienthindu1479 So get a cheaper sea craft! That's the point.
Go small, go now. (For varying degrees of "now", but definitely as small as you can make it, which is smaller than you think you need.)
That's one beautiful boat. Beautiful lines. Beautiful colours. Beautiful boat. Health to enjoy. 🙏🙏🙏
Your story is amazing! I feel every bit of emotion with you guys. Great looking boat, can’t wait to see the rest of your adventures.
Congrats, find out where the mechanic had to hit the alternator to get it working. LOL Love View...../)____
And with what size hammer and/or wrench.
@@BillB23 Exactly, but they do need to replace the inverter with a pure sine wave- but they know that.
@@captpeady2176 n6
The alternator has brushes, when an alternator goes “intermittent”, it usually means that it’s due for bearings and brushes. No big deal. I always try to put the largest, most capable alternator on board. Beautiful boat!
@Tim Sawyer dude.......you rebutted me, by agreeing? Yes, alternators have brushes.....that run on “slip-rings”. A DC motor has a “Commentator”. Either way, it’s a graphite composite that makes an electrical connection on a moving surface,(brushes).....thus, why they need to be replaced periodically, along with bearings.
Mike your right on the money, alternators have brushes and if they are not worn the springs that apply pressure to the brushes corrode in a salt water environment. Just love people that don’t know what their talking about. Good to know your systems when your stuck somewhere remote and West Marine isn’t around the corner
@tim sayer The brushes on the slip ring determines your output. Output is determined by voltage applied to the brushes by the voltage regulator low voltage low output higher voltage more output. I’m always amazed that people throw gear out that just need a little attention, I think they call it more money than brains. Lots of information out there to fix stuff.
Congratulations! This is the news that we all were waiting to hear! What a beautiful boat. Now starts the next chapter in your lives. We look forward to seeing the adventures that you set sail to.
I can’t wait to see you guys do a walk-through with us and show us the whole entire boat
"The alternator is not *currently* charging, I'm not *positive* why"... puns intended?
😂
Oh that Hertz
well lightning hit my boat and blew out the alternator how much to replace? 40 bucs ! car alternators fit these old diesels so no big deal
Ohm so happy for them, their broker Conducted the buying process, and the aura of this episode is Electric! :¬) Webhead USA
It's just that there is "resistance" to change
Man that's a lot nicer than that old scow you used to live on! You guys really drive a hard bargain, I thought the guy was going to get PO'd and walk away from the deal! Sounds like you got the absolute best price.
Congrats buds!! I was literally in tears at the end! Y'all have to be so happy.
Big smile on my face. Love the video and so happy for you guys. May you have some great journeys on your new boat for many many years.
Congratulation, She's a beautiful boat, Love the exterior color and the wood interior is just right, not too dark or too light. I think you made a good choice.
"already feels like our home" (before the sale) always a dangerous sound ... CONGRATS on the awesome vessel! We are so happy that you were able to be rewarded with such a great new beginning!
Fantastic story to follow. thank you!
Great to see a survey done the right way. And you both chose a good one.
Congratulations! So happy for you guys! Can't wait to see you continue your adventure!
I am very happy for you (and glad you went with the Sea Craft). The feelings you describe reminded me of when I bought a home and the relief when it all comes together is almost overwhelming. Thank you for sharing the process.
I have to say I also just loved the outdoor shots. I use to live in the North East, sailing 4 seasons and seeing the shoreline, the woods even at this time of the year had me missing my old stomping grounds.
The adventure continues and I am looking forward to being on board (virtually) as you sail off and continue the journey.
Congratulations and take it from a lifelong mariner it is actually a good omen moving aboard in the rain.
You two are so precious. I’m extremely excited for new home and beginning an amazing chapter in your lives that we get to share. God bless you both and be safe. 🤓
I got choked up watching you two finally on the boat. Those last couple of minutes had me shedding a few tears. Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey. Take care & stay healthy. 💜
Ahhhhh! I can’t imagine how you feel right now...relief, hope, a new beginning, new adventure ahead! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! What a great story, and very well told. Trying not to get emotionally invested in a boat is impossible. It's going to be your home, and a platform for some truly wonderful experiences. I'm really glad it worked out for you, and I'm looking forward to sharing your new adventures!
Congratulations, guys!! I can imagine all the joy and excitement you must be feeling right now. Your video made me feel really happy when you finally got that phone call and you moved in... I raise my glass to you guys and to the new Atticus II !! Greetings from Mallorca!!
Less than one minute into this video and I feel compelled to pause the video and comment! ITS BEAUTIFUL! Congrats!
Congrats you two she is a beautiful boat worthy of you two and any little Atticuses you may be blessed with! Man who could of guessed you guys would end up here when your YT journey started?
By far the best project Atticus episode to date! Great job guys!! Congratulations!! 🥳🥂
I am so happy for you guys and proud of you both! Great job and God Bless you and Atticus II!
I've learned so much, going on this hunt with you guys. It's fantastic to see your diligence pay off with a beautiful new home. Congratulations to you both. Can't wait to set sail with you on Atticus II! Fair winds and following seas!
Awe I didn’t want that to end! Congratulations!! So excited for y’all!
RESPECT! The "road map" you followed to lead to the PS40 was truly EPIC. The many friends you interacted reached out to for their opinions was the "correct" way to buy a boat. The next phase of your adventure is starting out on a great foundation. Be happy, be safe
So happy for you both! Been a very stressful last few months! I'm thrilled for you and happy that everything worked out! You have so many wonderful things headed your way! Can't wait to share the next chapter with you guys! CONGRATS!!
SO great for you two!!! Love it and can't wait to see all the projects begin - take some time to enjoy each other and the new boat, then get to work!!! Awesome! Thanks for the journey both in the past and now in the future! CHEERS!
22 yrs old rigging in good shape? Wow, never heard that. Can't be
These two humans are a couple of the greatest. I am so so happy for you guys, it made me tear up a little. You two beautiful souls deserve great things and it had been so great watching you expand and grow on this channel. Thank you Sailing Project Atticus for the honest entertainment you provide the world. We love you, from my family to yours!
Awesome result and a new home, let the fun and adventures begin on Atticus 2
NAIL-BITING STUFF!!!!
Congratulations, Desiree and Jordan. I’m so excited for you!!!
Excellent editing, story telling...best wishes on your new boat..
I have no doubt that Jordan teared up a little when he got that call accepting their offer. What an emotional rollercoaster! Happy for you guys and can't wait to see you sailing it to warmer climates!
Congratulations. God bless. May Atticus II carry you safely through many great adventures.
Just beautiful... Just beautiful. Thanks for letting us tag along through this travel for a new boat. Congrats... Love your travels and videos..
I couldn't wait for this video!!! I'm so excited that things worked out!!! Congrats to you both! I can't wait to watch your voyage south on Atticus II !!!!
Atticus I is still in Panama and not sold. They will
be flying to Panama soon to offload things to
ship back or store there. Then they will sell her.
This is the best TH-cam video I've seen in a very long time. The drama was compelling. All the aspects of your story was fascinating. The video quality and editing is exceptional. You two are endearing. And I don't even know anything about sailing. I don't know you but I'm happy for you!
Congrats Des and Jordan, your boat is simply gorgeous ! Thanks for going through all the details in the negotiation, this was very instructive. Be happy in your new home ! Cheers from France.
Congratulations! You've both worked very hard for this day and I'm glad it all worked out for you two.
OMG, I was getting stressed right along with you here. Great story, and congratulations you guys. She is a beautiful boat. Stunning, really.
Desiree, I have to say your personality always makes me feel like you're a straight-up Disney princess and you could definitely do voice acting, haha. Glad you're negotiations haven't taken as long as the ones on my flip house.
Very excited for you guys. Congratulations!!!
Thank you for making these videos! You two truly show the world that you can live whatever life you want if you just follow your dreams!
Awesome! If you ever need any canvas and upholstery work I’m in upstate NY and would love to help!
congratulations, such a beautiful boat. The Buds continue their sailing adventure, with some junior buds on the way soon
Awesome news. Very happy for you guys. Life is about believing in dreams and be happy.
So very happy for you both! What a journey! Many thanks from us here in Australia for you both being so proactively positive and refreshing. Again, well done and stay safe.
Oh how I'd love to be in your shoes. Ive thoroughly enjoyed the journey to make this choice and have to agree that is one special sailboat. Good job guys. Cant wait to see what you do with her.
One of the things I have appreciated most about the two of you is that you are not shy about sharing your search process, thing to look for, etc. It has definitely aided my husband and me as we consider searching for a new-to-us boat. Congratulations on your new home!
Wow, congratulations! This was one of the best episodes! Happy for you both!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing the adventure.
If I were the seller, I couldn't imagine a better couple to sell to. This boat has been loved and will be loved for a long time to come. Congrats and thanks for sharing your story that we have had the pleasure of following.
I knew it was going to happen based on the title of the video. Yet the news made me smile and tear up. Congratulations!! I wish I had known you were in Branford. It's about 45 minutes from where I live
What tipped you off?
Super news, and congratulations to both of you!! How fantastic to hear it finally turned out! Woot!
Thank you so much for this open and transparent video!!! Awesome!!! And rare!
Just like the Beverly Hill Billy's moving from Atticus to Atticus 2 moving on up. Very beautiful boat
I think that was "The Jeffersons."
@@Nuku.Hiva.Girl.2 On the contrary. While they may not have physically taken money from their pockets to buy Atticus II, their sweat equity and more in Atticus I allowed them to start this incredible journey. They worked at making world-class videos and the narrative that makes us come back every week to enjoy the adventure. Their time making these videos is just as important as money out of their pockets. Thank you, Des and Jordan.
A bit of both but you always have that one person who wants to knit pick everything and thinks it is their job in life to correct people. Too anal.
@@Nuku.Hiva.Girl.2 Good call, no doubt that was the plan from the start. And I'll bet this comment gets deleted.
Sounds to me like there was no sense of urgency on the part of the seller/broker. If you were different people, they may have lost the sale. And I'm impressed that Bernie busted into the broker's office to light a fire under somebody's butt. I agree with you - even a short message like "we're very busy re-arranging our sock drawer, but we're reviewing the numbers and will be in contact soon" would have done a lot to allay your anxiety and improve relationships. But the grief seems to have been well worth it - she seems like a beautiful and well founded vessel that you'll have many great adventures on! Thanks for bringing us along. Thoroughly enjoyable series (and I thought it was tough to buy a guitar); looking forward to the next episodes.
I assumed it was like buying real estate and offers/counteroffers had time contingencies for acceptance or rejection. Guess not, but wow, what a beautiful boat.
At the end i had to convince myself I was not watching a movie..... Superb 👌👌 A big fat CONGRATULATION to both of you !! The Boat is accepted as HOME.
Soooo pleased to have been a virtual part of this experience - I love the story and what adventures you share
Congrats you two! She's a beaut! We're so stoked for you guys! Lots of love from Wavelength.
Thanks guys! Hopefully Wavelength and Atticus II will cross paths soon!
Good luck Jordan and Desiree on your new boat- Project Atticus 2
