we’re so close to casting the lines and sailing over the horizon across the Atlantic Ocean. But first we explore Beaufort, NC, do some last minute provisioning and prep work for the crossing, welcome our new crew member, Steve, aboard, and double check all of our safety gear for the crossing. Meanwhile Desiree is struggling with morning sickness and crosses her fingers that the crossing won’t be too hard on her!

Oso is a smart person disguised as a puppy-bear. He has a personality bigger than his body. Let the fun voyage begin. Happy Sails to you! 💖🐬

[@ProjectAtticus]

🤣

[@mary2240]

I would love to see y’all put safety netting around your railings to ensure safety of your sweet Captain Oso. I look forward to watching your sailing adventures. Have a wonderful and safe trip.

[@CaptainKseadog1]

I have is your loss of bodily fluids Desire. Please make sure you stay hydrated with fluids and electrolytes. Once you become dehydrated, it can be difficult to get back to normal. Protect yourself and your child. Best of luck to you all. Fair winds and following seas.😎 Capt K

[@terenawallingford8196]

Saturday mornings are my favorite. So excited for you all. Godspeed on your journey and next adventures. You’ve worked so hard for this. You deserve the best! Lemon drops helped my nausea, Desiree. Hope you’re feeling better fast. Thank you for allowing us all to be a part of and enjoy your journey!!

[@larrimos]

Hang in there Des, it’ll get better.

[@jaykay1852]

You not only have a crew of four, but you also have 243K subs pulling for you. If you ask me, you can’t be any more ready than you are now. All systems are go!!! Will be looking forward to watching your vlog. I salute you guys.

[@tmoneyphresh]

Dude from bonehenge was AWESOME!!

[@electrominded8372]

This is far more than a sailing channel and, as far as sailing channels on youtube goes, it is the only one I need.

[@chuckjackson8457]

you can't forget about Sailing Good Bad & Ugly

[@Johndadiver]

Saw James Live stream. Saying prayers for you all HOLD FAST. Let the storm blow by. James saw gusts over 51 Knots. stay safe!

[@scottwoodward2676]

I don’t envy you beating through ten foot seas for 24 to 48 hours. They call it beating for a reason. I hope you have fare winds and a good time, I won’t miss your posts.

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

Having visitors really makes you pucker up on the tidy level of your yacht. I've because more conscious of the state of the boat since becoming a KZbinr

[@olddotcom]

So glad to see you have Steve along for the ride with Desiree being pregnant. Great to see you back on the road. Have a wonderful trip.

[@hezimoe1]

So glad you added one more sailor!

[@davekragness269]

Good job on getting the water maker!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Deseeri 🤞🏼 crossed for the first stage. .. looks like youve got experienced hands to guide you both till your settled in to your passage .. remember a forecast isnt always the weather.that you get... the atmosphere is always a bit chaotic and that feeds into the seas. Good sailing...you're about as ready as anyone can be.👍🏼⛵🌌🧙‍♂️

[@terrybyrd4386]

You two rock!! This episode is what makes you two rock. Sailing, local adventure, personal insights, and the hook and tease of what's to come. Sail on rock stars👍

[@rustymacneil3227]

Smooth sailing kids!!

[@andymarshall2201]

Good luck guys, I hope Desiree doesn’t feel too uncomfortable with sickness. Safe journey and fair winds.

[@Keep-on-ok]

I love the portable water maker. Praying that all goes smoothly.

[@robm7543]

A nice end to the refit and the first step across the Atlantic.

[@berniebrown9115]

Guys . I follow about 6 different sailing channels. Yours was the first channel of any kind that I have followed. And by far the best. Been a long time since you were back sailing. Hope the trip goes well and the sickness passes quickly. Can’t wait till we have the new baby on board. And excited to share that journey with you. Thanks again

[@Sommers234]

These are lovely people as are many others I don't think there's a best they're just different

[@ondi37]

So ready to watch the crossing! Let's go team! STAY SAFE. God bless from. 🇺🇸 USA

[@millo8186]

congratulations guys.. the world is yours.. fair winds always

[@popsyann]

Fair winds and be safe!

[@perfectweather]

That museum looks so cool 👍

[@jasonwickens0813]

Sage passage for you all. I said a prayer for all of you. I am so excited to see the passage thru the lenses of your cameras. Your channel is my ultimate favorite.

[@dustoff1472]

Congratulations on the water maker. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.

[@tommerola]

May a gentle breeze forever fill your sails. May sunshine warm your face, And kindness warm your soul. And, until we meet again, May God bless you and keep you safe.

[@Babylonboy55]

We love these 30 minute videos!! 😃

[@marcboylen2813]

Good luck and stay safe

[@tammy6992]

Go Steve

[@kadybug93]

My husbands dad lives in Beaufort and we love it up there! We’ve been contemplating buying land up there for a little while now so I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as we do! 🥰

[@brucesafreed3877]

Hola Buds! Looking forward to your Atlantic crossing! Safe Voyage!! 😊⛵️❤

[@tammy6992]

I like that idea of being on anchor and leaving

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Waiting! Been that for quite awhile now. CETACEANS! YES! Can hardly wait for your crossing to begin.

[@clevelandthomsen7042]

What an absolute BOSS Desiree is! Toughing out sickness and shoving off anyway.

[@jennshea4623]

YOU BETTER BELIZE IT!!!!

[@sailingcardinalpoints]

Great video, especially detailing the planning and equipment you are adding for the voyage! Also, enjoyed you capturing some of the things of interest in Beaufort! Safe and comfortable passage!

[@JeffLatimer]

Fair winds and following seas!

[@bdphourde]

When I remember all the things that have transpired since you poked your screwdriver into the head bulkhead in Panama, until your arrival in Beaufort more than a year later, I am just in awe of how you have come through it under full sail! I agree with Desiree that you have prepared well for this crossing and everyone's confidence is high and concerns are low. Jordan, your narration during the tour of Beaufort was really well done. You seemed to say just the right things in just the right way. This is one of your strong points, along with the editing. But this one seemed to really stand out for me. When I notice the extent you two have gone to in order to prepare and shoot your videos, I find this pretty impressive as I have tried to do it myself, and know it is "attention to detail" and a good imagination. Apparently there are some who benefit from their college education! Since Desiree has gotten pregnant, your personality seems to have "gentleized", while Desiree's humor has sharpened! Desiree, this is going to be a veritable heaven for you! You will get all the enjoyments of the taste of food and NONE of the calories! How great is that! And think of all the isometrics you will be doing preparing those abdominal muscles to PUSH! Do you have a rain catchment system yet? I'm predicting you will get another 7K subscribers and reach the quarter million mark while on Malta!

[@johndwyer346]

Oso is so damn cute! So excited for this voyage for you all, best of luck to ya’s!

[@MrMichaelcurran]

The sojourns in each town you land in are a gift to us armchair sailors. It deepens the experience of your journey sharing. Thanks guys. O’ babies are a plus only after delivery!

[@bobgutgsell1009]

You will all do fine, You are on a great boat that YOU have made yours, and, she will take you where you want to go and take care of you. Safe sailing and have a blast, It will not be all roses but that will be even better when a rose moment happens. Looking forward to your journey, and the next chapter. Hugs!

[@annettekurlemann353]

So excited for you. You are both so incredibly talented , hard working and resourceful. I am praying you will never need any of these safety devices.

[@kristaready8812]

So happy to see you're on your way! Can't wait for you to share this journey with us 🤗😁

[@petefleming252]

Dessiree is a champ. Stay tough. Love you guys.

[@sailingwanderlust22]

Great video! Loved all the updates on predict wind as you were heading to Bermuda. Happy to see y’all made it there safe and not sick anymore

[@catherineanderson77]

Safe journey Team Atticus II !!!

[@bbraonain]

⛵Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.⛵

[@victorkmarshall]

Hey that’s me on the Victoria sailboat! How cool, lots of good footage :)

[@rodhahn5658]

Fair winds and exciting adventures!

[@dansanchez9906]

I follow quite a few you tube channels and can honestly say I look forward to yours the most! Thanks for sharing your adventures and safe travels!

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

Best of Luck to you ALL DEZ VERY Best to you and your Morning Sickness I Hope that it is Mild and Tolerable GOD Bless you Guide and Protect you in your Journey 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mojoneko8303]

Great video looks like you are as ready as you will ever be. Steve seems to be an excellent choice for crew. How did you two meet him? Good thing you are bringing an extra hand along Desiree may not be able to stand a regular watch schedule and may just have to stand watch when she is feeling okay. Hope either Jordon or Steve are a halfway decent cook, Desiree may not be up to doing that either. Good Luck on the Bermuda leg. Thanks for the video. Fair Winds and Following Seas. Sail On!

[@adambarrett6091]

Good Luck and be Safe! I have raced to Bermuda a few times, it it was a blast, your weather looks perfect for your passage. Steve, our first boat was a Siren 17 on Long Island Sound, 2 newbie sailors and a German Shepard mix learned so much on that little boat. 3 boats later and we are still learning with a our Portugese Water Dog as our CMO. Looking forward to hearing about your passage.

[@nigeldewallens1115]

I just wish to say Bonne voyage to you all and cannot wait to see your next vlog/clip!!

[@remyyamabushi1473]

vous avez presque le temps d'arriver jusqu'en Finistere en France pour la fete des vieux bateaux du 14 au 17 juillet à Douarnenez.

[@SailingJohanna]

CMO OSO!!!! Thank you for taking us along on your journey, we are beyond stoked for Atticus and crew… super excited to witness this passage and the next chapter! Woo hoo! ♥️✌🏼⛵️

[@windingroad9678]

Best of luck love you guys happy sailing ⛵️

[@svshadyinvestment6647]

Be safe and fair winds

[@dougwatson821]

Fair winds and following seas! I've been enjoying your story telling for about 9 months now (thoroughly enjoyed the binge watching to get caught up!) and I'm looking forward to your multimedia storytelling of your trip across the pond. Take care!

[@rh5971]

Godspeed my friends! This is going to be AWESOME!!!!

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

A series of problems and solutions…….with good preparation. Thats the way to do it. Just like life.

[@CaptainKseadog1]

So proud of you guys and your long journey from the purchase of Atticus I to Atticus II. You are as prepared as one can be for a long passage. One concern

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great episode!! Stay safe Atticus 2 crew!! Onward to the adventure!! 👍👍

[@jamesrobb3337]

Steve seems like an awesome addition to the crew I like his aura and he seems calm and chill which is excellent in a pressure situation. I can't wait for you guys to head off on the passage what an exciting time! Best of luckand bon voyage! ⛵😁

[@jamesfreehart5912]

It’s here , a lot of sailing to come.

[@Keep-on-ok]

Glad to see your channel is doing well. You three take care!

[@richardmullon5233]

Good luck with the crossings of the ocean, safe crossing as well

[@mattdoherty753]

Good luck "People" from Matt in Australia!!!

[@craigpeterson1727]

Great seeing Beaufort again. Lived in Morehead City for 7 years when I was in the Coast Guard. Hope you found Blackbeard’s house in Beaufort when you were there … yes, he owned a house there!

[@tropicshade]

Fair winds and following seas Atticus II crew!

[@lloydbrown9327]

Don't worry about the things that can go wrong, stay positive. You never know what is beyond the horizon! Are you planning on sailing to Newfoundland?I have been following your videos from day one 😀 😊

[@billwilliams9527]

Holy Smokes, it's finally happening!

[@goleafsgo8496]

Steve seems like the perfect crew member for your crossing. Des hang in there even though you are experiencing an upset stomach you still look incredibly beautiful. Expecting women always have a glow to them even though I am sure it's not feeling quite like that right now, 😆 lol. Safe travels to you all, can't wait to see Bermuda.

[@DuckshotProductions]

Congrats! All your hard work paid off, you did it! Safe travels and fair wind. Excited to see your journey.

[@josephwoods3249]

Safe sailing and God bless and keep you all safe on your trip to Bermuda

[@vonheise]

Another great video, and finally one long enough to feel slightly fulfilled instead of it ending too soon... 🙃

[@triscuba17]

Just became a patreon! Love these videos and watching your journey. Live free!!!

[@5ringsaudits]

Beaufort is also where family members can stay who visit their loved ones at Camp Legume, Marine Corps Boot Camp East of the Mississippi. I dove 3 wrecks while there, my 1st blue water Scuba Diving experience.

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

I'm looking forward to next week's video either enroute on the ocean or in Bermuda. Steve looks like a great addition to the crew.

[@lindafett1826]

Safe passage⛵as you might see along the way🐬🌊

[@tomsavage7234]

Can't wait for your new adventure

[@jimfisk4474]

Well you folks finally did it. On your w a y. Hope your 5-day Cruise is enjoyable. It's nice to have your family around h u h.ohso has such a funny little bark and so cute. It is a nice little convenient watermaker. Why bother with a installed one? But knowing you two, convenience is important. Well I guess I'll get along and wish you all the best. Watched your videos for a long long time. Keep your eyes peeled for any ETs in the skies or waters. Bon voyage

[@GenXPats]

So exciting! Also thanks for sharing your ditch bag packing list. Gave some great ideas for ours.

[@TimLewisAlamo]

Congrats on getting u/w again!

[@mollytal7099]

Oh Desiree, thinking of you and pregnancy nausea. It’s rough. Hoping it lifts soon!!

[@Stan_L]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@richardhunter1973]

Best of luck guys, enjoy the crossing and have fun!

[@fatasford]

Shoulda got a bigger anchor a no better way to check your work than a big tropical storm a big hug to momma your the man bro

[@debbiecollins1154]

Been watching your channel for a while now. Never commented but felt like I wanted to wish you guy’s the best of luck on your crossing and congratulations on the new baby tucked safely away in The baby package.😂 Also you guy’s have a wonderful time and sending prayers your way. Good luck from VA.💕💕

[@mrrichards6007]

No tacking? Glad your almost ready to set sail, I’m excited for you.

[@danieloliver20]

"CMO, #2 on deck!" .... a classic! 😂

[@tomreid3244]

Great episode again guys! Rainman great idea. Is Oso going to be ok with those waves coming over your beam? I love that little dude

[@MotorbikeRush]

Exciting! Finally on the cusp of reaping the rewards of all that hard work!

[@josephclayton1835]

I have no doubt about your crossing. Your boat will see you through , it’s an awesome vessel, I would take it around the world. Atticus I, … not so much. 30 yrs ago, I thought about sailing like you are about to do, I would have picked the same boat.

[@navyretired230]

Your baby is going into the Bermuda Triangle. Nice

[@Pauls-travel-adventures]

Safe journey you guys. You rock!

[@smallbiz9852]

Damn, missed you guys in Beaufort by a week.

[@robertnixon3816]

Have a great, safe trip! Can't wait to see the next episode!

[@stephenkamin3118]

A little breezy today I'm sorry I mean yesterday. Did you have to reposition your boat. Hopefully the weather calms down a little bit. Be safe....
