EPISODE 229

In this video we sail to the industrial port of Moss Landing, arriving in thick fog, to visit a very special boat that has a deep history in the area. Then we learn about the plague that is destroying Sunflower Stars and the subsequent ecological disaster that has been occurring on the Pacific coast - and we meet the group of young scientists trying to fix it.

I’m on a mission to rebuild a 109-year old English sailing yacht called Tally Ho. Designed by Albert Strange in 1909, she is a well-known and important historic vessel – but after many adventures she was left in a remote port in Oregon to rot for decades, despite some valiant attempts to rescue her. I bought her and moved her to the Olympic Peninsular earlier this year, and am now starting to rebuild her from the keel up. Eventually I hope to sail her back to the UK.
