Is Your Bucket List Wrong? | S09E18

When I first dreamt of sailing the world I imagined traveling to famous destinations. Hawaii, Tahiti, Sydney, the Galapagos. But now that we’ve been doing this for a while I’ve come to realize how much I love discovering the hidden little corners of the globe. The places that few have heard of and that you won’t find on anyone's bucket list.
This week we discover a quaint Greek fishing village, we swim in crystal clear water under massive cliffs ,we kayak to a Monastery built to protect seafarers, and our daughter learns how to fend off a WWII era amphibious assault. And until recently, we’d never heard of any of these places.
Now we are currently exploring the Greek island of Symi and our goal this season is to sail across the entire Mediterranean to Spain where we’ll fly home to the states to have our baby, because, you know, Desiree is pregnant. But first we’ve got to sail across the Aegean, a route which takes us against the prevailing winds for nearly 200NM. So as we wait for just the right weather window, we take the opportunity to head off the beaten path to get to know this extremely beautiful island.

Hey, been watching since the start. I've been working in the marine industry for well over a decade. Currently I work in Gibraltar at Sheppard's Chandlery and work with Global Satellite. If you need anything please feel free to get in touch. Unfortunately I don't have the money to be a patron, sorry, but if I can help in any other way just ask. And thanks for all the amazing content. Your truly on of the best sailing channels out there IMHO. ❤️❤️

[@nealrehm6900]

Ahoy there Buccaneers. I tune in every Saturday morning to watch Isabella as she is growing up before are eyes. God bless Atticus and her crew upon their journey across the Mediterranean.

[@loisphillips5826]

Saturday morning coffee with Atticus. Thanks for sharing. Isabella sure is adorable. Great anchorages you found.

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

Every Saturday morning

[@robnee3313]

You'll never forget the first time your child operates an anti ship artillery weapon! Priceless! Another fantastic adventure with the family! Jordan, you are a beast with systems knowledge. Wow. Thank you

[@northeden8661]

Best dog ever.

[@naomisee789]

JSYK, that particular pretty flower is one you should learn because it is deadly. Oleander. Drought tolerant and very important to avoid even touching as the sap is very toxic.

[@trekkermueth3074]

I was going to post a cautionary note about Oleander, but then saw your post. Thank you for posting.

[@jenniferredder6226]

She loves her Daddy!!!! 💕💕💕. Her smile just lights up the day!!

[@janetmessman95]

The art in the church reminds me of the artwork in the Russian orthodox churches in Moscow and St Petersburg Russia. Really beautiful!

[@LarryKindret]

My Good God your adventures are fantastic. I have been watching your shows for a long time and they are great. Informative, exciting, and great to watch. Can't wait to see you fly to USA. New little one for Isabella to play with. 😊

[@brianmsahin]

You're videos are great. I started to compile my bucket list at 14 years of age after watching a documentary about the Amazon jungle. That was first, I added backpacking every country in South America and Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and seeing the famous and less famous sites and in 15 months did it all on a round the world backpacking trip. Outside of this I've been to many places in the US including Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater etc and many cities closer by in Europe, Türkiye and Russia, they weren't really on my bucket list but were still fantastic! Now living in Türkiye I have quite a lot on my new bucket list of discovering more amazing sites here. When I leave this life I can say that I experienced the world! Travel really changes your perspective and I don't mean package holiday travel. I recommend it to everyone while still young enough to be able to do it. I remember meeting an old lady at Machu Picchu, she waited all her life to see it but didn't have the physical capacity to explore it. This was very sad and illustrated to me that we shouldn't wait too long to work on our bucket lists.

[@dianegriffith3006]

Jordan you’re a genius in fixing all these little issues that pop up. Little Isa is growing up so fast and has the sweetest smile. Love your Saturday morning videos and I go to them first thing. Love it. Have a beautiful week in Semi.. or wherever you land. 🌞

[@bearitraeb]

And my advice has not been asked for … butt 😂😂 yall need to start calling ‘baby’ something different so that when the baby gets here she doesn’t get green eyed over the baby.

[@dianegriffith3006]

I thought this too. Isai’s the cutest ‘baby’ ❤️👏❤️

[@jdanr1866]

It's definitely getting odd. They seem to be wonderful parents that any kid would be fortunate to have, but it's time to call the kid by her name.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Just amazing how Atticus has morphed into a precious family sailing channel. Love for spouse and child is wonderful and nice to see this in this world. Of course, we tune in for a myriad of reasons, one being our adopted boat girl child, Isa. She is such a cutie pie, and her ability to understand mom and dad only enhances the experience. See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

[@davidsachs4883]

On bucket lists My father’s favorite cousin shortened her bucket list to :see and hold the new baby. She completed that list. With hours to spare. That infant is now in middle school.

[@sheRoyals]

I am so obsessed with yalls travels this season. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and send you all happy wishes for this new baby to come!

[@SVCasaDeBrelly]

And now, we too will always remember the first time Isa operated an anti-ship artillery weapon. 😂 Great stuff buds, we hope you are doing well!

[@fivestarmafia6644]

if u can stop in every island in greece its best for u because every island they have own story culture etc.

[@alohatvj]

First video 📹 of the day. Amazing video. They are always fun to watch. The scenery is breathtaking 😍 ❤. See you next Saturday adventures.

[@AustProd6]

Another winner from you guys.

[@trevorforrester3142]

When Desiree was checking out those octopus tentacles and she was reaching down...all I could envision was the tentacles reaching up at lightening speed and wrapping around her wrists. And pulling her while hissing.

[@williesful]

Great vid, love the way your daughter just kicks back in the kayak taking in the sights. Cheers guy’s 😊

[@mikeylorge]

You know, It is wonderful to hear your stories. There is something special being invited to tag along with you all each week. Aside from the Natural beauty and the great adventure, I really enjoy your growing family. Peace and safe travels.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Thank you!

[@aaronpresgrave4211]

Good morning guys hello from australia was waiting for your video shes a bit to rough to sleep here tonight people drifting anchor everywhere

[@StarTexaspets]

Love y'all the most like cinnamon toast ❤✌️ safe travels always buddies

[@simontrevisan5598]

Saw your track across the Aegean. Not sure how far you have gone as yet but highly recommend Tilos (for natural beauty) and Amorgos

[@tkreelman18]

Been following for a while now! Love what you guys do. Truly inspiring. Thank you!!

[@wjhann4836]

About your experience with the church: I was told, most old churches were really dark - because of the many candles that were burnt. If the church is not looking dark (beside this you show has many dark painting) are cleaned up with modern technics.

[@maureencoleman9248]

Jordan I love your narrative! And oh the places you all have taken me over the years is wonderful too.

[@francineclave2207]

Jordan even your commercials crack me up! My sexy wife 😂😂😂😂😂…. I wish you could have heard the roar of laughter!

[@ProjectAtticus]

🤣

[@barbmoff7098]

Keep in mind you are going to have another "Baby" Could be confusing to the "Baby".

[@DaleEGrant]

Ahoy from California!! Super enjoying your journey! Thanks so much for sharing the awesome history along the way, and letting us watch your beautiful family growing. It's all wonderful and inspiring. 🙂

[@mlechi]

Great tour! Bless you from Munich...

[@wandererblue]

Thanks for another great episode. Greetings from Türkiye. 👋

[@heatherblack2563]

Just food for thought but as a mom of three and with Desiree's morning sickness the shakiness and exhaustion might be her blood sugar dropping. Might want to carry candies with you in case it drops and there isn't a restaurant nearby.

[@florianbreger1819]

If you ever think about selling your boat for a bigger one with two kids, give me a call. It’s great to see with how much love and diligence you take care that shortens a lot of negotiations

[@williamstreet4304]

You opened with the expectations of famous places and the realization that the hidden gems were even more special. I'm just beginning my exploration of the world in my 70's. Galapagos holds the expectation of amazing nature but delivers an archipelago that is more populated than I expected with so many restrictions. While Isla del Cocos delivered the simplicity of mostly untouched nature and the San Blas Islands of Panama provided such beautiful and unspoiled experiences that I did not expect. The western coast of Mexico has some real treasures. I love the gems that have no hype but deliver real beauty. Thanks for that intro.

[@laurierodriguez1432]

Another great episode✌️💜

[@nealrehm6900]

PS, Just heard Mount Aetna and the island of Stromboli Are in your immediate path back to Spain, and they are erupting as we speak. I’m sure you’ll keep a close watch on this situation.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! Thanks for sharing your road less travelled with us. I'm a fan of those too. Safe travels. ❤

[@ajkunz1974]

Great video as always!

[@muhammadichsan3081]

I love watching your vlogs. Free life at best.

[@wow.sailor.]

Great episode ❤

[@marshamercer876]

Great video thank you for the beautiful sites.

[@barnieb1961]

'You'll never forget the first time your child operates an anti-ship artillery weapon.' Too funny

[@Now-or-Never_Adventures]

we loved Greece when we sailed there, best place to sail!

[@onurkaradeniz569]

Loving your videos!

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Thank you! I watch a lot of sailors. No one is the best. The channels that I watch have their own unique vib. Right now, you two are bringing special and unique bits of the world to us. And Isa is a definite draw! Keep going. I'm with you.

[@jorgegorina3039]

Beautiful simply beautiful. Love the video. Thx for sharing with us. ❤❤❤🙌🏼👍🏼🙏🏻

[@brandonboand]

Congratulations, is papa hoping for a Boy? Momma is going to need a catamaran the bigger your family grows… I’d really miss your journey sailing around the world if you decide to be land people…. I’ve honestly really enjoyed your content and love that your sharing your life journey and adventures. Truly amazing family ❤

[@gflores7018]

Looks beautiful there. Thank you for the video

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

Another wonderful episode. Thank you. You have such a blessed life so few get to experience. 2 years before I retire with plans to live this dream life with my wife.

[@laurariley308]

Great as usual… loved your analogy of the churches. God bless your growing family 😇

[@eileenderheim3768]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing the hidden corners of the world.

[@dannyisrael9210]

Always amazing how fragile the manufacturers make these things for yachts, when lives could be aty stake...

[@rhondapowell4139]

I just love you guys and that you share your journey with all of us. I feel like your my extended family. Thank you for another great video. You tic off the three "F's". Function (of the boat), fun and family. Okay fixing would be the better f but oh well. Buckets of love guys. I found that ginger gum helped with the nausea before the barfing. ❤

[@svtenacity]

The pump is not a "diaphragm" pump. It's centrifugal and the correct type to have in the bilge as you do. Diaphragm pumps are for cleaner water supply that won't have debris in them. But glad you figured out you overtightened and got it working again.

[@davem1716]

Thanks for sharing. Interesting places.

[@patsymartin3634]

Hydration is super important. Also Thank you for showing us all these Beautiful hidden places. Much appreciated.

[@jamesgrigsby8201]

Hi guys! Really enjoyed the beautiful video. What really caught my attention was Desiree’s comment about having bursts of energy & then flat & having to sit down to avoid feeling feint. You see, at 74 the same thing happens to me often. It made me lol. R/Jim Grigsby Virginia Beach

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Blessings from Richmond, VA! ❤

[@ralfretter5674]

Lovely video ❤

[@cindycornog8006]

❤❤❤

[@faircompetition1203]

Re see the lesser traveled places . Yup all of my best stops have been unintended , last one we when to it was because a turning tide meant we could not get in where we wanted . Thank goodness because where we did go was absolutely magical

[@balaenopteramusculus]

Shhhh! Don't spoil the secret of avoiding the generally accepted bucket list. 🤫 It keeps the hidden gems nice and quiet.

[@flboy77]

Great video and message this week. I would have to agree with you… I had the opportunity to visit some bucket list places last month. The problem was, it was on about a million other peoples bucket list too, and the crowds really took away from the experience. Converted the second half of trip to more unknown remote places and had a much better time.

[@juliazentner681]

Another great episode..deseri wow 1st trimesters are hard and your doing alot.dobt beat yourself up ok. You're doing great!

[@karenprice5439]

Calvin and Karen from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 watching. Love the video what a beautiful place. . Sweet Isabella.

[@jamesfairbairn6084]

Very beautiful place.

[@sinanuluvar9174]

St. George (U shaped anchorage with cliffs) and Panormitis are the most intresting bays in Symi (as a Turkish sailor). I will share your video with my friend's whom I shared the experience. Wish you fair winds during sailing to Spain. Greetings from Bodrum.

[@kristaready8812]

Wow, great video.... Cinematography is top notch! Is it me or is Isabella getting cuter by the day!?! 😊🤗💞

[@aaronpresgrave4211]

Have u guys been to or planing on doing australia on your trip

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

It's wonderful that the crowds are not materializing like last year. August might change that.

[@terrypen]

LOL, nursing and she's still mesmerized by the camera!!! hahahaha

[@rileybri]

When we were in Greece we were told the chapples and churches especially the remote ones are built facing and near the water as a blessing and sanctuary to sailors.

[@Ozgur72]

1:40 thats a Murena

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

If you get the chance Jordan get your blood sugar checked .. pregnancy especially the second one can bring on symptoms of type two diabetes.. or pre diabetes you may be able to even out the blood sugar roller coaster ... although you may have always been a burner like some 🤭 but it will at least help you avoid the roller coaster ride and ease the loads on your bodies systems. 😉🧙🏻‍♂️🇬🇧 Florida is going to be dealing with some challenging weather ahead. Given Beryl was the early opening gambit this year.

[@bobkopf227]

Good morning you 3, I’m wondering if you have ever thought about buying a catamaran?

[@glennburch1081]

Jordon, very well narrated. Your words of description and analysis were spot on! I spent a career in the USNavy exploring ports of call throughout the Meditterranean Sea and your videos just open the flood gates of my memories. I couldn't agree more, get off the beaten path and one will often times find amazing places and peoples. Great to catch up with the family, the pregnancy, your travel plans, Osso, Isabella etc etc. the bilge pump repair was interesting, hope it holds up as bilge pumps are kinda important. Thanks for sharing this episode guys, looking forward to the next one already. Be well, sail safe.

[@MrDLYouTube]

Can you guys talk a bit about what it's like with a pet on your travels? Do most countries allow keeping the dog on board as a quarantine measure? Do you avoid counties that don't allow that? I know I would hate to put my dog in a kennel for a month or something. If you do have a video explaining all this, could someone direct me to which video that is?

[@snapstring]

[@TTM-GEB]

Night Vision Goggles - I don't understand why boaters like you don't have Night or Thermal Vision Goggles for situations like coming into an anchorage or avoiding small boats/objects without lights.

Love starting the day with a new Atticus video! Thanks y'all! Ps I'm so jealous of your editing skills, such a nice flow, the script always seems perfect, crispy shots...I'm workin on it, but have a ways to go! 🤌

[@Mexicantours]

I sailed off from Vancouver into the Caribbean, since then backpacked all over Central America , motorcycled Mexico. Hitchhiking Mexico to Honduras, camper vaned mexico. Lived in many places in Guatemala for ten years , with border runs every 6 months , now 12 years Mexico, border runs every 6 months , now have permanent residency..love the warmth, it’s brings out the nice in people. Would not like living in Canada again in the cold weather and cold people.

[@dougzirkle5951]

Gestational diabetes? Great video!!

Is my bucket list wrong? how you know my bucket list 🙂 Rhetorical question ok - nope its fine. by the way 66 and still have my hair, and if I didn't so what, put on a hat in the sunshine.

Wow, KEEP, AYE! YOUR A HELL'VE SALESMAN. Man, swimming with your daughter, fix the bulge flow, and keep your hair. All in the 1st 5 minutes of the vid. The Archangle ST. Micheal is the protector that protect one from Satan and his minion's. Incredible video this week. Love guys. Stay healthy mom!

[@gaviny-w3569]

Is "bucket list" similar to "role model"? 😁😁😁🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-jg9ju1ke8i]

Got this and in for an early comment

[@MarkENorman]

How many feet of stern line do you keep on each coil to tie off the shore?
