This was before Pete joined the Tally Ho team. Pete did a lot of the heavy lifting pieces on the Western Flyer. Worth going back and watching the process. Talented and skilled man.
I discovered Baja while a studying at UC Berkeley in the late seventies. I fell in love with Baja sight unseen. Nine years later I finally made my way down there. What an amazing place it is! Having read the Log, and other books about Baja, make the place all the grander in my eyes. It is a happy feeling to know the Flyer is out there somewhere, and that it will, some day soon, be back in the Sea of Cortez. Thanks for telling this amazing story! 🙂
Good to see Pete from Sampson boat Tally Ho

@@cyclingbutterbean Thanks for the info. He has a very determined work ethic. Wonder where he is now?

Great movie
I enjoyed the presentation. The boat restoration and the ecological aspect were equally interesting. Thank you.
It had been a wonderful undertaking, thank you for how much was documented, but,I would love to see more footage as well.
Lovely movie. You sure are a true professional Chris
what is the status today? the info on youtube just disappeared ????
Leo Goulden did a launching of the boat on his Sampson Boat Company TH-cam.
