Working Hard and Playing Hard in Key West | S02E04

[@bigmike9845]

Wow man you do really great fiberglass work that looks awesome

[@scootericu1]

First time I seen this one, what an awesome repair on that shaft, very impressive

[@dbharrold]

I'm well impressed with that repair Jordan and the cool way you accepted that 'shit happens'.

[@sargintrock2538]

Bingo! Adapt and Overcome!

[@blotto66]

awesome video. Im cheering you two on. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Zac!! Awesome! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@jeffreywatson3742]

My friends, I know this is a couple of years old but I did not see anyone correcting you in the comments. A Diesel engine is designed to idle for very extended times. Truck drivers will idle their engines for days in winter. You cannot hurt your engine by idling. Fair winds and following seas!!

[@greghall14]

I watched the last couple of your videos and am hooked on you guys so now I’ve started a binge watch from the very beginning. I’m currently up to 9/73 and loving them.

[@Lees920]

What fun you guys are mixing in with all your hard work. For years, I have gone to the Keys around Meeting of the Minds and have done the Zombi Ride. In fact, I may have been there when this episode was shot. What a bizarre party! Fixing your prop shaft issues made Atticus even better than it was designed. However, I don't envy any job dealing with itchy fiberglass. Been there, done that installing engines at Gulf Star Yachts back in the '70s. Jordan, you should be proud of yourself for the quality of work you do. It's no wonder that you have so many friends to share the good times with. You and Desiree are a great couple.

[@Kingcactus20000]

Like the beefy fiberglass fix.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Thanks KingCactus! We've come a long way in our boatyard skills! Haha! 2 years in a boatyard will make a fiberglass technician out of anyone!

[@iispjhanna]

Very nice job on the prop shaft young fellow, quite impressive. And you are developing skills of value for the future. Good one.

[@88888gerald]

Im impressed with the work you two have done so far...keep it up....and we'll keep watching...

[@jackrabbit5047]

I never cease to be amazed at your skill and imagination in getting things done.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Jack Rabbit! That's so awesome! Thanks for watching! We have come a LOOOONG way from day one, haha!

[@robertmcdaniel2283]

You two are certifiably , crazy awesome. Keep it up. More, please. Safe travels, mi amigos.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Buenas Noches Robert McDaniel! I think YOU are awesome! Thanks so much for the encouragement and we can't wait to hear your reaction to our next couple episodes!

[@cyclomaniac9086]

Hi guys.... i just discovered your channel and binge your playlist on this ice cold day in the NE. Cann't wait to see more... you're the real deal.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Cyclomaniac! Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching from the beginning :) Hope you're staying warm in NE!

[@markperry4220]

This was just a very nice video. Good vibes and a good start to your sailing life. Sail on ....

[@stevewicht7452]

Love the video...the stern tube repair looked impressive, much more robust. You guys put in a lot of work in Key West, but also seemed to have a lot of fun. Love the chickens on the Key West streets. On to Sarasota.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Thanks big guy!

[@xiomaragolen5041]

Terrific video!!! Alot of wonderful shots and very informative and lively.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Thank YOU! Glad you liked it!

[@richardstroud7945]

Good job on the repair..!!

[@sargintrock2538]

You have a rare jewel at yer side as you sail on yer "ship of dreams". This and only this allows you the name of Admiral of the Seas. A Man longs for a Woman he can Trust to share his Adventures and Dreams and when needed, to slap hot iron to a bullet wound, as Josey Wales has mentioned! You SIR, seem to have achieved that status! God Bless you BOTH!

[@19211926]

Your guys are really cool. Have fun and be safe.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Fishin n Flyin! Thanks for saying Hi! Glad you're enjoying the videos! Keep on watching and letting us know what you think! Jordan LOVES fly fishing, btw. We watch The River Runs Through it at least once every couple of months, haha!

[@mattjansen5423]

I just discovered your documentary last evening while enjoying an unseasonably warm January evening in Pennsylvania. With the window cracked my mind drifted to the sea and the sand. And wala, the 3 of you (Atticus) and your video popped up on KZbin. I ended with your Adventurer to the Dry Tortugas and I look forward to you're next video!

[@Sailboatstory]

Kudos for bringing together so much scattered footage seamlessly. It's a tough thing to do well - something I really struggle with with my edits, but you make it look easy. Well done. Enjoying your series very much. :) -Ben

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Ben! Thanks! This episode WAS particularly difficult to string together- we weren't filming as much as we should have through our refit and through the final stages of leaving Key West (because we were focused on working and getting Atticus ready to sail). I'm super impressed that Jordan pulls these awesome stories out of thin air :) He's a keeper! Thanks for watching! -Desiree

[@BillConnely]

Nice job on the fix! Love the ending of your videos. I am a new subscriber and looking forward to your adventures.

[@ProjectAtticus]

HEY BILL! Thanks for subscribing! We love new faces! I just checked out your channel- shadow looks like a handful! Too Cute!

[@victor25out]

Great Video Guys. Loved it

[@thelastpirate]

Kimmi and James say Hi. :) Love you guys. Exited for you!!!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey guys!! Thanks! Excited for your crossing this year- wohoo!!

[@gardensofthegods]

I thoroughly enjoyed this vid,

[@MurphysLemonadeStand]

Never heard of that festival. We seriously need to get out more. I am super impressed with that fiber glass work! Great job man. Feels like a life time waiting to be hauled out over where we are. But I have been planning on some big refit fiber glass projects with ours. It is hard to be patient when so much time passes and what feels like little progress.

[@chadwhaler]

Great editing.

[@robfraley4210]

Great idea 1:25. Just like an Engineer 😱👍✅ Ever thought it was a Lot of Work, it’s Still hard to say Goodbye 👋🏼 to a place you spent several years at, even if It was just a 9:27. DOCK...!!

[@kevman0111]

Laughed my ass off. Lil' Shit. Perfect.

[@rrrobeltnest7295]

seems to be a great boat but steering by hand nice repair you did i just came aboard. nice videos.

[@lazyplumber1616]

Amazing repair!

[@Captyogi]

9:31 thats my boat YOGI II

[@restonvernon4785]

Nice video. Congrats on your sailing boat....

[@EmptyNestOutdoors]

Awesome repair!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Thanks Empty Nest Sailing! Where are you guys located?

[@EmptyNestOutdoors]

We are up in New Jersey, still a couple of years away from sailing south. Love your 'Classic' sailboat, looking at maybe moving up to a Tartan 34C.

[@kevinswanson3910]

I see your still making your boat better cool im working on mine to woods almost done,im not as good a wood worker as your dad but it's looking good almost finished both my companion doors .

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Kevin! Awesome! what kind of boat do you have? Any big plans once she's all ready to sail? It's such a great morale booster to make new companionway doors! Congrats!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Ah, just saw from a previous response that you have a midship 25 sailboat! Very cool! Learning to sail on your own boat will be awesome! Good luck and keep us updated!!

[@kevinswanson3910]

ya I'm gonna go to the great lakes and go around to Alaska and turn around go to Vancouver have family bring my trailer back from Saskatchewan its bin oround once before i can stand in both cabins and its got lots of room its going to have a 6 kw inboard with a 15 hp kicker backup on the back only draws 16 inches withe keel op and 1000 watt charging system solar and wind also one person can rais the mast ,park it on the beach lol

[@ProjectAtticus]

Wow! That sounds badasss! Would love to see photos! Also sweet route! Excited about your adventure ahead!

[@Nerd3927]

Looks odd that sterntube.... I was expecting a bronze bus with a cutless bearing in it. Not fiberglass. I think the previous owner bodged something up when he couldn't afford or find parts ... The repair looks pretty strong though! Love the style, really different that all the others!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey S/V Adma! Yeah I thought the previous stern tube was odd as well, although it did have a Cutlass bearing within the tube. Thanks a lot for the encouraging words, we a really making an effort to have a style all our own and comments like this really help keep us excited and motivated! Thanks for watching and please stay vocal, we'd love to keep hearing from you!

[@sherimeltzer]

I died laughing when he said we are taking off on lil dick lmbo!!!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Haha that's Paul for you! Ask your mom and Vita about him- bunches of energy!

[@mauritzallberg7302]

Nice boat, nice lines

[@-MakeItGood-]

I’ve been waiting years for this.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Haha! Thanks for sticking around!! Hope you liked it!

[@markaverett1225]

Dude you are dang handy

[@88888gerald]

just noticed your tilly hat...nice touch...

[@daveedvalds3326]

Well done

[@PepesitoLag]

would you guys consider taking a couple on board, no a lot of sailing experience but super handy. I am originally from Cuba, my girlfriend is from California but well traveled. I love your videos.

[@ProjectAtticus]

hey guys! we don't have any more room on Atticus for crew ;) sorry! happy sailing!

[@robfraley4210]

Wow, that’s a great Mod, That gusset on the prop shaft tube... ✅👍😎

[@TonyAnschutz]

Another great episode. No worries on teh minor cussing. I think YT has a thing about it but honestly what is the big deal? As long as it is not every other word let it flow baby! Also. Amazing work on the Shaft tube Jordan! Killer professional work there. Would have loved to see more details on it. NIce!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Scuba Tony! Sorry for the delayed response! Thanks for your 2cents! We've decided going forward to do more How-To videos because we've been getting a lot of feedback about wanting to see more project work. Jordan is fabing a hard dodger as we speak, so we'll be sure to get every step from beginning to end! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@AnthonyPaun]

great video!!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Thanks Sailing Free at Last! Hey I just checked out your channel- my brother is obsessed with fish tanks! I'll send him your channel! Stay in touch!

[@AnthonyPaun]

Thank you!!

[@frankrice5364]

Good fix

[@JoelWelter]

Nice editing.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Joel!! Thank YOU! And thanks for commenting :)

[@joshalvarez7028]

Great fix with the gusset. Which video shows the complete hull rework? Watched the first season and was well done, but no real boat work... :)

[@erichaskell]

Better now then in a worse location. Great repair.

[@tomatobrush3283]

Did it take you 2 years to fix the boat? Would have liked to seen that process :)

[@ProjectAtticus]

kzbin.info/aero/PLOdfI7CmkSxhaFZa6l9Mr5S4raXNl-J3m

[@tomatobrush3283]

@@ProjectAtticus Thanks!

[@pateallan7764]

All right, pumped another one out. What hp outboard in the dink? Does it plane good? Do you think it would plane with 3 people aboard? We have a 8 ft RIB with a 4 hp merc right now, but looking to buy a bigger dink and motor. 9.9 hp would be great if it will work. Keep up the good work. Hope you got a nice security chain and lock for your new dink.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Pate Allan! We have a 8ft Zodiac RIB with a foldable transom and a 8hp Tohatsu (4 stroke). We can't plane with 3 people, but we can plane with two people and my sewing machine, which is exciting! Yes we bought a security chain for the dink but luckily we haven't had to use it much in Isla Mujeres, Mx!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey Pat, Jordan here. Yeah I would definitely recommend larger than 8 ft to plain with 3 people as the 8hp 4 stroke is at the max weight limit for our dink. Although it might work out if you had a two stroke that fit within your weight limit. All that said, if you can, I would go with a slightly larger dink with a 9.9 as you had mentioned. Just my two cents! Thanks for tuning in!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Oh also we were using a 3/8 chain to lock the dink but it chafed the cap rail on Atticus as well as the dink hypalon so we switched to really thick steal cable with a vynil coating. Any thoughts?...

[@pateallan7764]

I just know the more robust your chain and lock, the thief will keep walking til they find an easy target. I dont think I would attempt to cut a 3/8" chain. I know you are limited right now having access to chaffing preventers. State side, an old discarded fire hose from the local fire station would work. Most places we've been (U.S.) we didnt need to lock our stuff up. Our stuff has been old crap too. Sounds like your cable will do fine.

[@lydial5695]

I'm love'n it

[@ProjectAtticus]

Thanks Lydia!!

[@Bullseye1280]

No line cutter on the shaft??

[@anjelicadixon7719]

I love You!

[@ProjectAtticus]

haha! thanks Anjelica!

[@sailingsvteakkeyrandyfryli8206]

Wow looks like a big motor on little shit...what size motor and how big is the dinghy... S/V Teak Key

[@ProjectAtticus]

Hey S/V Teak Key! The outboard is a 8hp 4 stroke on a 8" zodiac which IS really big for that boat. It is just within the max suggested weight limit according to zodiac. I'm super happy we chose the bigger outboard though, she plains like a champ with the two of us plus groceries and or snokeling gear. As long as the transom holds up over time I'll be stoked!😬

[@drx1xym154]

Lil' Sh!t has a bit ASS motor! You might be faster than SSL, Rick More's big ass dingy motor boat!!!! woo woo!!!

[@ProjectAtticus]

Haha! Yeah it's a pretty sizeable outboard engine! Take us a lot of deck space when we stow it but well worth being able to zip around on a plane when we get to a new place!!

[@tjgolen1983]

*Goliath Grouper Basin?

[@ProjectAtticus]

haha

[@mikegregory222]

I wonder if you lose any power by losing that space with you your reinforcements

[@ProjectAtticus]

Michael Gregory, hmm interesting point. We haven't noticed any difference, I imagine if we do it is minimal, I've definitely seen boats designed with a strut or gusset just forward of the prop. But still very interesting question. Do you have any further thoughts?

[@mikegregory222]

I've got a 23 foot Pace ship that I bought for $1,000 is included 8 horsepower outboard motor a d and not much else I need to get some more sales and get some ropes and get some solar panels and some batteries and I'm fixing to sail off into the gorgeous sunrays of wherever the spirit takes me the breath that I breathe

[@freeholdtacticalmed]

Can you show how you rig your mizzen staysail? PM me if you can

[@gerritfaber2751]

you just made it into sailing zingaro

[@ProjectAtticus]

hey Gerrit! Yep! James is so much fun! We just released our video this week where we meet James & Kimmi. Have you seen it? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYOZp5uXmsxmrK8

[@Quarry4x4]

You keep rolling credits before you are finished it is confusing. If you want us to pay for your video please don't make me think it has finished before the finish. P.S. your videos are way better than mine. You already win, this is supposed to be a help.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Thanks for the tip, Quarry!

[@davefoster7770]

I am shocked by your outrageous and irresponsible behaviour. You cannot be careless with the wine like that. You need to keep the sea out of the bottle. ;) Good luck.

[@ProjectAtticus]

Haha! You're so right, Dave!! We'll have to work on that! Thanks for the comment :)
