Leo Goolden sails Tally Ho from Nassau, Bahamas, to Fort Lauderdale overnight, motoring across the Gulf Stream in flat-calm conditions — a crossing where the current runs so strongly northward that the boat's heading diverged sharply southwest from its course over ground.0:42 Fort Lauderdale was chosen as a refit stop because of its dense marine industry, chandleries, and a privately offered berth with shore power, which was essential while waiting for parts to repair the boat's hybrid charging system.2:36 The hybrid fix required replacing the display and wiring in a new NMEA 12-volt supply; flexible 48-volt solar panels and a solar charge controller were also installed as backup charging.6:44 Preparation for a planned non-stop passage of roughly 3,000 miles to the UK — with possible stops at Bermuda, Nova Scotia, Maine, or the Azores — is driving most of the work: a wind indicator was added at the topmast, a spare autopilot and spare Starlink mini were sourced, an autopilot remote control was mounted amidships, reefing tackle is being redesigned for a four-person crew, and the bow anchor is being secured more rigidly with a turnbuckle and chain hook.9:10 The timing pressure is real: departing later than mid-summer raises hurricane and North Atlantic storm risk on the crossing.9:28
