Cosa tratta questo video

Two guests, Nick and Joe, document two weeks aboard the wooden yawl Tally Ho as Leo Goolden and Marat sail through the Sea of Cortez, bound ultimately for England in time for the 2027 Fastnet race — 100 years after Tally Ho won it.0:16 The footage covers daily life as a crew guest: oil changes (including punching the filter to drain it), making baggy wrinkles on watch, watermaker filter cleaning, sanding, garbage runs, and emptying the black tank.3:27 The hybrid drive belt snapped under load, attributed to reduced pulley diameter from an earlier gearbox fix; Leo replaced it underway while the crew sailed without the engine.7:46 The group island-hopped from Loreto south through San Evaristo to La Paz, then ran a 330-mile overnight passage to Isla Isabel, a remote bird sanctuary off mainland Mexico hosting blue-footed boobies and frigates in the tens of thousands.13:09 Watch rotations, man-overboard drills, dolphin sightings, humpback whales near Puerto Vallarta, and cooking — tacos al pastor, chilaquiles, mole pulled chicken — fill the passage hours.14:12 Nick also runs a YouTube channel documenting the refit of his wooden boat Argonaut II.0:32
