Leo Goolden and the crew of the 50-ft gaff-rigged cutter *Tally Ho* transit the Skidegate Narrows in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, as part of a shakedown voyage preparing for a 2027 return to the United Kingdom.0:11 The passage requires navigating shallow, narrow channels with significant tidal currents, which the crew manages by timing the transit during a neap tide to minimize current velocity.10:42 Following the transit, the vessel enters the open Pacific Ocean, where the crew encounters heavy wind and significant swell, necessitating two reefs in the mainsail while maintaining speeds of 8 to 9 knots.24:55 The crew subsequently navigates into Englefield Bay, an area lacking official hydrographic surveys, relying on guidebooks, a bow watch, and the depth sounder to identify hazards while seeking an anchorage.25:44 The voyage serves as a technical test for the vessel and crew, exposing them to increasingly challenging open-ocean conditions and remote, unmapped coastal waters.27:41
