What is it that draws us to sail offshore? Is it calm waters, starry nights, and beautiful sunsets?
And is all of this ruined by seasickness, rough seas and lack of sleep? Or are the parts that suck actually the most essential to why we keep coming back?

We scramble to wrap up our electrical installation so that we can take advantage of an ideal weather window to sail south to Annapolis to attempt to make it to the Annapolis Sailboat Show. What starts out as a perfect sail quickly turns into misery on the ...

We continue to explore the coast of Maine with Jordan’s parents, and stop at a quaint fishing village to grab some fresh Maine Lobster. Then while Jordan tackles some boat projects on Atticus II, Desiree flies to Panama with her mom to clean out Atticus ...
We continue to explore the coast of Maine, hoping for easy sailing and good weather so that we don’t scare Rita (Jordan's Mom) away from sailing for good! We tuck into a couple of gorgeous anchorages, enjoy the friendly locals, seals included, and enjoy ...
We are Sailing to Portland Maine to pick up Jordan’s parents on their first visit to Atticus II! Along the way we encounter fog, a couple of beautiful lighthouse, and a very busy Portland Harbor with a TON of other ships. Once in Portland we visit a very...
When we first started sailing we had a REALLY hard time dialing in our sailboat, learning to communicate effectively, and figuring out how to rely on ourselves, and not feel like complete idiots with each new challenge. We wondered when we were going to ge...
This week we sail to Vinalhaven for an impromptu Pacific Seacraft Owner’s meetup and live concert performed by singer songwriters Bennett and Perkins aboard their sailboat. On our passage North, we sail through a sea of lobster buoys which tests our pati...

This week we continue our sail north to Maine. We transit the Cape Cod canal at a whopping 10 knots, and Desiree has a heck of a time steering the boat, then nigh falls and Gio experiences her first night watch, and finally we’re thrown into the middle o...
We have a super crazy morning trying to get the boat ready for our sail up to Maine. The weather isn’t looking great, and we’re going to have to navigate very tricky waters which could put our boat in jeopardy, BUT we need to leave our slip. So we cast...
This week we navigate a tricky channel, dodge a bunch of boat traffic, and finally sail into Martha’s Vinyard to sightsee and pick up Desiree’s sister, Gio, who will be joining us for a couple of weeks to help us on our passage up to Maine. Jordan has ...
We cast the lines and sail to our first Island in the USA, the famous Block Island. We’ll have to sail close hauled into 16 knots of wind, so the conditions will be perfect to test Atticus II’s windward performance and to see how Oso handles life at se...
This week we travel back in time to the Whaling era and learn what it was like to crew on a whaling ship in the 1800’s at the Mystic Seaport Museum. Jordan nerds out about wooden boat history and restoration and we also sneak in a sunset harbor tour on o...
After wrapping up a handful of pre-departure projects, we are FINALLY ready to set sail to Derecktor Robinhood Marina in Maine which will be our home base for the summer while we continue to upgrade and outfit Atticus II for extensive offshore voyaging. As...
