EPISODE 232

In early November 2025 we sailed Tally Ho from Ensenada down the west coast of Baja California to La Paz, around 850 nautical miles. It was our first passage with just 2 people on board, and we were initially nervous if we would be able to handle the boat and get enough rest.

This video is an attempt to bring you along for the journey - for a change, I decided not to use any music or voiceovers, relying on the sounds of the sea and hoping for a more immersive experience. Some shots are long - the editing is slower than usual, reflective of the pace of life on a voyage like this. When sailing, you are forced to be patient, and the wandering of the mind is its own reward.

There is no high drama in this chapter of the story - we had good weather and a pleasant trip. We flew various different sails, including our new (second hand) spinnaker, and I had to do some woodworking in the cockpit.

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.
