Sailing - 2024
Latest Episode...
In this episode we take a break from our big shakedown cruise for a special full-boat tour around Tally Ho, at sea!
What is it like to live on the boat?
Which parts work, which parts don’t work?
Where do we all sleep?
Why don’t we wear shoes!?
We also see the construction of our Saloon bench, which was built out of Cherry in Port Townsend before we left, AND we hoist our jackyard tops’l and see a lot of humpback whales.
In this video we finally get to enjoy sailing Tally Ho after 7 years of work! We meet the whole crew - familiar faces, and a few new ones
We travel with a historic 1922 motor-yacht, we crash our drone in the woods, we make fresh pasta, and some of us say goodbye - for now.
In this video we sail TALLY HO North, all the way up the inside coast of Vancouver Island, BC. We hoist our Jackyard Topsail for the first time (with a small snag!), we test our Autopilot / Self-steering gear, and we transit some crazy rapids. We also run into some dolphins, say goodbye to some friends, and swim in a glorious lake. Oh… and we also find the "largest burl in the world"!

In this video we continue to sail North, doing some metalworking repairs and modifications on the way (after we luckily come across a metal-lathe!)
We visit the huge abandoned cannery at Namu, and discover layers of history under the detritus of industry. Nick shows us how to start the amazing 1941 6-cylinder Gardner diesel engine that powers Argonaut II, before we set sail across the notorious Hecate Strait.
