Moving Tally Ho / Transporting a Wooden Boat (EP102)

Rebuilding a historic sailing yacht - Moving Tally Ho (EP102)

----

EPISODE 102
In this episode we move Tally Ho!
Before the move we experience a crazy heatwave with record-breaking temperatures, and I have to take some drastic measures to keep the boat cool. Next we take the boatshed down, revealing the lines of the boat without any visual obstructions.
I also finally introduce the owners of the property where Tally Ho and I have been living for the past 4 years, Raul and Darlene. They tell a little part of their story and we all get a bit emotional.
Finally, Associated Boat Transport arrive with their amazing hydraulic trailer, they load up the boat, and thanks to some incredible driving we manage to squeeze her through the tiny gap between the house and the trees, with no room to spare! I have a hair-raising trip to Port Townsend watching my boat speed down the highway ahead of me, and finally we arrive safely in the new location.

Huge thanks to Associated Boat Transport for being so amazingly professional and efficient and taking such good care of Tally Ho!

102. Moving Tally Ho (Rebuilding Tally Ho/ EP102)

[paulboden]

So nice to meet Raul and Darlene. Lovely couple.

[UrbanSelfSufficiency]

I thought I would just see a boat moved, but instead, I was.

Watching Leo stumble around at a loss for words, while he try's to express how grateful he is to his hosts, says a lot of the level of feelings he has for them. Sometimes there just aren't words to express how you feel.

[ScottESchmidt]

On one side, a cranky neighbor who seems only to be happy when he/she is causing grief to others, and on the other side, two loving and caring people who have graciously and generously supported Leo. The World, in microcosm...

[jensaarnaes]

Meeting Raul and Darlene and hearing their side of this really, REALLY choked me up. We need more people like them in this world.

[meandmyvelo]

Darlene wasn’t the only one with tear in her eye at the end of her speech.

[cieproject]

Coming back to this episode now after Darlene has passed, and even more grateful that you were able to capture these moments with the two of them then. Gives the story of the boat the emotional weight it deserves

[carreraeightyeight]

I'm 66 years old and I want to be like Leo when I grow up. A truly wonderful human being in all aspects. He excels in bringing out the best in everyone and everything he comes upon

[markh]

"I knew at some point you had to leave, I wasn't ready for you to leave so soon"... She feels that way after four years... If nothing else informs you of Leo's character, that right there is all you need to know.

[fishingcostarica]

I am 80 years old and have sailed all over the world. I watched you from the start. I cried all the way through this presentation. Through you, I am sailing again.

[ogtaylor]

Megan is awesome! "At 13 I was flipping motorcycles while running a landscaping business and a bunch of other stuff"

[davebarron]

You ever notice how there is nothing but Quality people on this channel? And the "work" is above and beyond. Thanks for taking us along.

[matthewotto]

I love seeing Pancho with her humans. Usually on camera she's looking at everyone like they're barely tolerated trespassers. But with her family she's affectionate and relaxed.

[krispbacon]

It seems that pretty much everybody who has something to do with rebuilding and restoring Tally Ho are just amazingly beautiful people. This boat has touched so many lives and enriched so many people. I love this community.

Mark: "I told you, I'm out... I'm retired from that life..."
Leo: "I need you for one.last.job...."

[Zangarra]

that truck driver tho, what a talent and his passion for his job. so wholesome that he could be part of this transport even tho he didnt have the job anymore :O

[Comp]

Thank you Leo for letting me be a small part of this and trusting me with your pride and joy. I had a great time and I hope to be there when she hits the water. My dad is very proud you chose me to move it, he is proud of our company's history and happy we got to be a part of this. I forgot to thank him in the video, he is the reason this move was possible, he taught me everything I know about moving boats.

[paulmcleod]

Leo has spoke of his wonderful hosts so many times, they still exceeded expectations.

[martinfrohberg]

This video was the most beautiful thing I ever saw on so many levels. Raul and Darlene are golden. The moving guys are so skilled. Leo and the crew are awesome. And Tally Ho is so beautiful <3

[jameswhitston]

Just have to say amongst all the incredible people and stories you've shown us, Raul and Darlene have just topped everything. Full, heartfelt respect.
