3 Days to Get the HECK Out of the BOATYARD😦 | S08E13

I’ve been installing a watermaker on our sailboat Atticus II so that we can raise our daughter off grid and out in nature. But right now the boat is a total mess, and I’ve still got a ton of work to do before my wife and baby move back aboard. Honestly I don’t know how I’m gonna pull it off.

Wear 2 pair of gloves and change the outside pair only. Way easier way to change gloves. No sticky sweaty hands.

[@HopeOfJoe]

What a great idea!!

[@halfmoon48]

seriously, so smart

[@SteinVarjord]

Works really well. I sometimes use more layers too. If you need to have clean hands during messy work, rip off a layer and proceed. Smooth! Also protects a bit better agains tears.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I find that my hands get so waterlogged in my gloves I need to peel the inner layer off eventually anyway to let them breathe.

[@mayreausailing]

use som thin cloth gloves as the first layer with a couple of latex gloves over them. It stops the sweating.

[@darrellsmith2658]

Jordan, you have the right to be proud of yourself. You’re so driven and do amazing work. Impressive! You’re videos, and coffee is what I must do every Saturday morning. Thanks for sharing.

[@EEB-pp9rp]

The amount of work accomplished is MUCH harder than Jordan can portray. A huge amount of work was done here. I have a Pacific Seacraft boat and the challenge of a really well-built boat is installing new systems. Congratulations! Water and a laundry make for a much happier life aboard.

[@Timbo_tango]

Not to metion the added stress of setting cameras up constantly and narrating everything you do all by himself! Jordan is a Legend

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@Timbo_tango Yeah the idea of doing a complex installation and filming it professionally all by yourself is insane. Jordan is the man.

[@skohaya]

Love my Saturday Atticus fix. Your video quality is better than a cable show. Remember that show "This Old House" where they fix up old homes. This is way better. Love the tech! Blessings on your sail.

[@anthonyelam2257]

You are the man ... great husband , father , sailor , and what ever you do ... JACK OF ALL TRADES ... You are number one and a inspiration to what men should be ... thank you teacher for showing how to do it all ... amazing ... and your lady is a wonderful woman and your baby is so beautiful .... 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@vg4413]

Not only you did it all by yourself, but you managed to film everything to take us along. Nice job, nice family you have become!

[@jimlofts5433]

those drill holes have exposed the wood to possible rot - check out magic carpet / Aladino who oversize the holes and refill with fibreglass epoxy and then drill the actual holes and no water can seep into the end grain - maybe put it on the honey must do list for next haul out - well done and understand your time restraints - happy sailing

[@bobmcglone6676]

Do the Watermakerdance ! “ Making water yea yea, making water yea yea”! 😊Do the dance! Great video. Really enjoyed it.

[@jimmyrants4342]

You are one smart guy, and a hard worker. No way could I do what you did in that time frame. I'm old ya know? lol. The baby is getting so big, and your wife is a great mom. Thanks for a great video. Whoever did the editing did a great job.

[@christopherbarber9351]

What a sprint to the finish! I am a bit surprised that you are making water while in the harbor. I would think there would be issues relating to the cleanliness of the raw water that you're taking in.

[@PanCakeMixer101]

Hi a local here, hope you enjoyed your stay in Malta 😊. Been following your videos for a few weeks now and I must say the quality of your videos are top notch, it's like watching a Netflix series. I enjoyed watching you install new upgrades to Atticus 2. I wish you the best on your next voyage

[@hawkeye98]

Coffee and SPA. My Saturday morning routine. I love your channel. I’ve watched other channels and most just seem to wing everything and hope for the best. I really like your logical approach to these projects. In the word of one of the most under rated middle line backers in the NFL Sam Mills, “Keep Pounding”

[@sailrxsin]

Always have to like a Saints fan comments

[@hawkeye98]

@@sailrxsin grew up in NOLA my dad had season tickets from the start before they built the dome. Back in the days of the Dome Patrol the players would exit and you could get autographs and pictures. Sam Mills always had time for everyone. One of the kindest most humble people I ever met as a kid.

[@fredbrooks1386]

“One small step”.? ….. you two have made huge steps!!! I am so impressed the “tension “ of getting ready for splash. It was movie type excitement. Not only should you guys write a book about your adventures but also someday plan a movie! With your talent it could be a blockbuster! You could probably work a great story around all the holes you drilled,in the boat, how you saved an entire desert island with the water maker😜! Etc. As always have fun , be safe and see you next week.

[@colsen900]

I'm trying to keep the smile off my face. Great job.

[@paulbuttner6808]

Congratulations Jordan, that’s a great project with incredible benefits for you and your family. You should be proud of yourself. Non stop working against the clock. Everything works and no leaks. Excellent video keep them coming, loving every minute of them.

[@trevorbyron9448]

What an indispensable item and ingenious invention ..churning seawater to fresh drinking water straight out of the ocean ..wow I'd be proud too...nice installation. .Always enjoy your hard work at these maintenance projects. Can now catch up with Eric Aanderaa from NBJS. He's also sailed into Mediterranean and is in Greece right now.. One of the finest sailers with top notch KZbin documentaries. Would be a magical rendezvous

[@laurierodriguez1432]

You are the hardest working boat dude...I know your family appreciates you more than you know✌️💜

[@para1324]

Jordan you worked like a Spartan. That was a better instal than if done by the yard. You have the right to be happy. Well done. 👌👏⛵️🏝

[@jobutler3633]

Mate - freaking Legend! I know those late night, exhausted dry eyes almost hyperspace moments of a deadline. Somewhere in the future you will question how it was even possible. It wasn’t. You did the impossible!!! The moments that break us are the moments that make us !!! Nice work Bud.

[@kristaready8812]

You must be so stoked Jordan. Great job on all your hard work and being an excellent father and husband taking care of your sweet family 🤗💞

[@ianwood4406]

Jordan, I have so much respect, and am so proud of you! Thank you for sharing your journey as husband and father - **off grid** no less!!! (ie: to the tenth power!!) Your wonderful ladies are in good good hands. 🙏

[@cruzerfj4060]

Great work! Your craftsmanship and mechanical abilities are top notch!

Capt. Jack Sparrow "Stop putting holes in my Ship." is our 1st thought, Great job Jordan. Your Fiberglassing and wood working are amazing. ty FL Crew

[@davidsachs4883]

When your hands are sweaty and they have to go into rubber gloves, many people find putting corn meal on your hands before putting the gloves on really helps. Why corn meal works and wheat flour doesn’t I have no idea. (By corn I mean maize, apparently the word corn refers to the dominant starchy grain grown in an area, which in the USA is maize, but elsewhere other grains) The crack of dawn is also a great time to walk the dog. When my first born’s first tooth came in her mother said she thought there was a tooth coming in, stuck a finger in the child’s mouth to feel the tooth, and got bitten. When the second tooth came in, same thing. When the third tooth came in she almost made the same mistake but at the last second wised up.

[@kirkrobbins9090]

Wow, outstanding push! I'll nominate you for Capt. Dad. Your attention to detail shows through your love for family. Enjoy a little quieter time (can you really say that with a teething baby on board?) with all that matters most.

[@kensage5947]

You are the smartest and hardest worker. My hats off to you. You have a great family.

[@briansurinanikonprofession862]

Dude, you work so hard! But it’s so good! Another successful project for your boat and family! Isa loves daddy! She is so cute! Onward SPA!❤️

[@JamesPuente]

Good job on the install! I have no sailing experience, but I used to work as an offshore engineer on Gulf of Mexico oil platforms. When we inevitably ran into water maker issues on our older systems/platforms, I got my fair share of experience helping troubleshoot them. So it was really cool to see this smaller setup for a sailboat. I live on land now, nowhere near saltwater, but this makes me wanna get an R.O. unit just for fun lol 😂

[@lindafett1826]

Jordan I applaud you👏👏👏👏👏you are such a handyman, husband, dad😊

[@chasingsunsets380]

Good stuff. Full off grid capacity sets you into a entirely new world. Congratulations.

Appreciate all the time it takes you, to keep setting up your camera to film all of this. And you film it better than any other sailing channel does, Awesome editing. Your killing it, with the quality of filming, and your narration is always superb.

[@romeobravo3793]

Dude, I’m in awe about your DIY skills. GREAT work, WELL done! And thanks for the video.

[@5ringsaudits]

Great work Jordan. Probably most important item other than motor aboard. True freedom...

[@jimshanks9495]

For someone who says he is not sure of things because everything is a first or lacks experience, you sure fooled me lol lol lol !!! As for a cleaning person, you give we men a good name :)

[@thepiratedoc4247]

Always impressed with your skills, Jordan. Nice work! After seeing all the things you have accomplished in outfitting Atticus II I had the morbid fear that if you ever take a lightning strike ... I know that lightning, fire, and holing the boat are the things we all fear. What steps have you taken to protect A2 from lightning? Is there any real defense? Everything on board other than your sails and engine are electrical. Sorry for putting a wet blanket on your watermaker accomplishement!

[@michaelgenson5587]

Jordan you are killing it great job

[@nicholaspatton1742]

Not merely just the simple watermaker installation. The incredible cogent story filmed at all times and then expertly produced. Who did you hire Jordan; it was seemless. ;)

[@theelegantnerd005]

One of my fav episodes!! ❤️❤️Laughed so hard I cried at the 8:21 mark! 😂😂 it reminded me of what I am like trying to fix things!

You know, Jordan, you're not nearly as bad as Desiree says you are! What a guy! You are as dedicated to her as she is to your daughter! THAT's the way it needs to be for a happy world and a good life! Now you can once again say "My Buds are right here with me." "Who else's life is this good!" And soon you will "hoist the sails" and it will begin anew.

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

Excellent work. Projects of that complexity often take longer than expected. What a time capsule little Isa will have when she looks back at the early years.

[@400AGLNET]

That's awesome, Y'all are ready now for sure.

That little baby of yours is soooooo sweet man

[@NunzaMan]

You are both amazing. Been watching since the Atticus One Dodger Build. You Both are amazing. I will never sail,I really enjoy the window into your family's adventures. I feel like Jordan could build a boat or house with the skills he has developed over the years. God bless you and your family! New Patreon coming your way! Way to go Jordan!

[@sailingsomeday5975]

Grest work jorden - Saw another channel recomend wearing 2 pair of gloves so you only peal the outside one off when too sticky (or desolved)

[@robertnixon3816]

Amazing work under deadline pressure and the results are all good! Independance!

[@mojoneko8303]

Boat projects always take me twice as long to complete and tend to cost twice as much as I think they will when I work on my sailboat. I like your attention to detail when you are working on your boat. I'm the same way about that. I get OCD about every little detail. It drives my wife nuts but stuff rarely fails or leaks when I'm finished. Thanks for the video. I'm sure your upgrades will work great for years since you did them the right way the first time. 🙂 Congrats on getting off the hard and back into the water. Fair winds and following seas. Sail On!

[@AbleHammer]

It’s always exciting to plug in your first thing! 😂

[@paulp7721]

Jordan you are a master!! I love watching your projects. Measure twice, cut once!!! Big question : How do you treat or condition your fresh water tanks to keep them clean and bacteria free & therefor drinkable??

[@kathynaughton7689]

These projects take so much mental energy, taking the time to film them and explain all with a smile on your face is so impressive. You are so humble as well which is also endearing.

[@Lighthouse6b]

Don’t know anything about your water maker but I found it useful to have a t valve before the product water goes into the tank so that I can have separate water jugs for drinking water. I used bleach or hydrogen peroxide in the tank itself. Remember there is no fluoride, minerals in the drinking water. There are commercial supplements available to restore the missing minerals. Fluoride will be important for the babies teeth.

[@Denisifix]

Well done! Congrats on a job immensely well done after hell week!

[@BreezyRider66]

Nice work, people have drilled holes in the bottom of their boat before now!

[@kirklumsden8107]

Great episode. Well done.

[@voodoochild1954]

That is quite amazing that it all turned on without a hitch or leak. Video editing? Or are you just that good? 😉😉😉

This is a true definition of hard work pays off. Congratulations on that time consuming project!

10:40 That's the theme music to "My Self Reliance", my other favorite you tube channel... what are the odds? And the only other guy out there as skilled as you are, only he built an off-grid cabin from scratch.

I missed you at the worst flooding at the Annapolis boat show but I sure hope to meet you and family the next time you're back!

[@linf525]

In my fiberglass experience, you should have put some fiberglass mat under that woven fiberglass before installing. But that's just the way I was taught how.

You should get a magnet. I have one that's long skinny, retractable, snake like, so it bends. so when I drop a nut or a bolt or screw. It's super convenience
