The 47-foot gaff-rigged cutter Tally Ho prepares for a late-summer departure from British Columbia to Mexico, aiming to transit the Panama Canal and reach the United Kingdom by 2027. The crew plans to depart in early August to balance avoiding tropical hurricane seasons in Mexico with escaping autumnal storms off the North American west coast. Maintenance tasks include troubleshooting a recurring loss of prime in the freshwater pumps, clearing a seawater intake blockage on the watermaker, and sealing checks in the solid timber bowsprit with pine tar and Dolphinite. Upcoming refit projects before the passage include fabricating storm sails, strengthening the boom crutch, installing lee cloths, leathering mast hoops, and mounting a Starlink dish aloft. The vessel recently cruised the Strait of Georgia, stopping at Jedediah and Egmont, while navigating tidal races like Skookumchuck Narrows. Acknowledging the logistical demands of maintaining a wooden boat while producing content, the owner reaffirms his commitment to the voyage after a period of personal reflection.
