Trailer
In this thrilling episode, we join Sailing Project Atticus as they encounter a critical issue with their boat’s electrical system while sailing in the heart of the Aegean Sea. Their off-grid living relies heavily on maintaining a robust power supply to sustain all necessary systems for extended periods of time.
When faced with an abrupt shutdown of their electrical system, they find themselves anchored near a remote island, vulnerable and grappling to resolve this unexpected crisis. Witness their journey as they overcome multiple challenges and work diligently to restore the power, ensuring that they can continue on their ambitious trans-Mediterranean voyage.
Synopsis
This episode encapsulates a critical moment in Sailing Project Atticus adventure, where their off-grid sailing lifestyle is put to the test.

As the winds threaten their anchorage, the urgency of resolving the electrical system’s issues intensifies. The audience will be on the edge of their seats as each solution is tested, and new obstacles are faced.
Amidst all these challenges, a brief respite in a secluded and breathtaking anchorage offers them a moment to reflect on their journey so far and appreciate the beauty around them, while also considering what lies ahead.

When we first bought our Sailboat 3 years ago, it was only outfitted for light weekend sailing. Since then we’ve transformed her into a floating home with all of the necessary systems to keep our family safe and comfortable, for extended periods of time, while living out in nature. Sanitation, laundry, fresh water, ventilation, even the ability to produce these videos. We can run all of these systems for long stretches of time, completely off-grid. But all of these systems ultimately rely on one thing, electricity.
Now our system is relatively robust but this week a chain of events lead to our electrical system completely shutting down, and we find ourselves anchored off of a remote island in the middle of the Aegean Sea, without any of the systems that we rely on to survive. And it’s up to us to figure out what on earth we can do about it.
