Support TALLY HO; http://www.sampsonboat.co.uk/support Become a Patron; http://www.patreon.com/sampsonboatco ---- EPISODE 232 In early November 2025 we sailed Tally Ho from Ensenada down the west coast of Baja California to La Paz, around 850 nautical miles. It was our first passage with just 2 people on board, and we were initially nervous if we would be able to handle the boat and get enough rest. This video is an attempt to bring you along for the journey - for a change, I decided not to use any music or voiceovers, relying on the sounds of the sea and hoping for a more immersive experience. Some shots are long - the editing is slower than usual, reflective of the pace of life on a voyage like this. When sailing, you are forced to be patient, and the wandering of the mind is it’s own reward. There is no high drama in this chapter of the story - we had good weather and a pleasant trip. We flew various different sails, including our new (second hand) spinnaker, and I had to do some woodworking in the cockpit.

For this next leg down the coast of Baja California we have decided to travel with just 2 people on board, and we face some nerves about if we handle the boat on our own and get enough sleep! Before we set sail, we get our dinghy back and check out the new paintjob, we work on the deck, we rig up a new spinnaker, and we even get out to see some Mexican Wrestling! —— Music; Joey Pecoraro - Jazz Apricot —— To become a Patron - https://www.patreon.com/sampsonboatco To donate or support - http://sampsonboat.co.uk/support For sneaky previews of what’s going on in between episodes, follow my FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/sampsonboatco and INSTAGRAM http://www.instagram.com/sampsonboatco.

At the beginning of the episode I find myself losing all my crew, and having to pick up the anchor and move the boat alone. Once I find a sheltered anchorage, I am met by a huge group of seals… shortly followed by a pod of Orcas (killer whales)! The next leg of the journey takes me to a marina where I have to manoeuvre Tally Ho backwards into a really tight berth. I use some tricks to help overcome the prop-walk and get the boat secure. —— To become a Patron - https://www.patreon.com/sampsonboatco To donate or support - http://sampsonboat.co.uk/support For sneaky previews of what’s going on in between episodes, follow my FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/sampsonboatco and INSTAGRAM http://www.instagram.com/sampsonboatco.
