O que este vídeo aborda

Leo Goolden and Marat depart Ensenada, Mexico, shorthanded — just the two of them — aboard the 1927 gaff-rigged wooden cutter Tally Ho, bound for Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of Baja California, with La Paz as an alternate.▶ 14:06 The passage is their first long offshore leg with only two crew on this boat, a concern given the large rig and the difficulty of maintaining adequate sleep watches.▶ 12:35 A favorable forecast of mostly light conditions gave them enough confidence to proceed.▶ 12:48 Pre-departure work in Ensenada included a full dinghy repaint by Brothers Paint and Fiberglass using All Grip paint with non-skid, seven coats of varnish on the main companionway hatch and cockpit brightwork applied by a local varnisher named Ricardo, and installation of a second-hand asymmetric spinnaker halyard block at the lower masthead as a trial rig for downwind light-air sailing.▶ 0:57 A full rig check to the top of the topmast turned up several unmoused shackles, which Leo wired closed.▶ 9:07 The transcript covers traditional laid-deck maintenance in detail: daily saltwater washdowns prevent plank shrinkage and rot, with scrubbing across the grain done every one to two weeks.▶ 4:36 Departure conditions were foggy with light wind, with motoring expected overnight.▶ 15:13
