    EPISODE 97
    In this episode we work towards sealing up the timber of the hull, inside and out.
    First we varnish the interior of the boat, using a traditional varnish that should hopefully hold up for decades. Then we get a serious workout with some good-old-fashioned “torture-boards”, we glue and trim plugs, and we get a little closer to painting and moving the boat. We have a bit of a change of crew as David and Rowan head back to the East coast, and we get some great help from some local guys. Meanwhile Pancho delights in a game of hide-n-seek.

Some of the saddest videos I see are those of people spending years to build their boats with substandard materials thinking everything will be fine not realizing the dramatic effect it will have in the life of their boats. The true cost of a boat is not so much in the materials but in the labor to assemble it. You are showing the world a masterpiece in creation. Well done sir and I hope to see you in port townsend some day.

      @James Lawson Yeah, understood. I've also done both types of labor/work and many things in between, as well. I shoveled mountains of horse manure on Saturdays for pocket change when I was 12 years old to buy art supplies, when I wasn't under my dad's wood boat on my back, on the gravel covered hard, painting the hull bottom with antifouling paint in the spring, mowing lawns or helping dad do carpentry projects or whatever. I've made art, design, photography, video shorts and music, built furniture, computers and guitars... much of it professionally... multiple college degrees from very demanding programs, etc. THE POINT: Leo clearly does Herculean amounts of physical, intellectual, analogue and digital forms of work, seemingly indefatigably. Leo also clearly loves what he is doing. It's extremely admirable.

    All of your crewmen have done such Han awesome job on Tally Ho! They dive right in on any project you assign to them, without any reservation nor hesitation: a true marks of an amazing and awesome crew!
    I also understand the role of the leader of any project, they set the tone of the work: moment by moment. A fair, honest, competent, kind and fun leader is awesome to work for. I do not mean someone that doesn’t requires and ensures honesty and integrity from each crew members. If a mistake is made , own up to it and if the mistake is found out and not known by the member it’s how the leader handles the issue.
    You, Leo are the leader that I’m talking about above. You treat all with dignity and respect in every conversation you have with all. You never forget that they are human and a workmate when taking with them. NO Drama, is an great skill set to have and you have it!
    Many work decades and Never learn and acquire this ver important skill set and my friend, you have it!
    Really like what you and your Mates are doing with the boat!
    The skills and the hard work together is suck a Hallmark of great people and you and they have it!!

      “I am an old person that has long boarded. It is just like having your shoulders grow older. ” Don’t you just get sore muscles from longboarding? Overhead press (the weightlifting exercise) can give you quite some interesting DOMS as well. Somehow the pain from deltoids is just especially sweet.

    I feel so bad for Pancho. I’m sure she will miss having you all around when you move Tally Ho to Port Townsend. You need to get a Parrot of your own now Leo. After all, what kind of Pirate would you be without a Parrot? Tally Ho looks incredible. All of your hard work and attention to detail has really paid off. It’s been a blast watching you all along. It’s made me think about all the years that my Dad and I worked on our boat. She was a 1969 35’ Pacemaker Convertible Sedan. She weighed close ton15,000 lbs and we sanded and painted her many times over the years, and had so much fun, even though it could be hard work at times.

    Sad to hear that the parrot wont be joining you when you leave this place. To me she seems to be a part of the project and the boat by know as I have seen her so much in the videos. I also think it would be appropriate to commemorate her in the build with a circular parrot plaque made of bronze or whatever...something nautical. In any case parrots have good memory and it would be a good idea to give her a visit once in a while if she cannot join you in the new yard :P
    Anyways I like the project and everything I have seen so far :)

      I've been sad about that too, pets are often the ones most effected by change, and the least thought about. I'm certain the person who complained 1,000 times about the boat never thought about the effect it would have on Pancho, yet it still happens. On the bright side, that complaining neighbor complained about Pancho shouting, and now that social macaw is about to start screaming for attention 24/7 without Leo. Oh the sweet irony.

    For deck planking you need to find someone who is demolishing an old factory, their floors can give you some good sized wood. HMS Warrior and HMS Tricomallee both used wood from old factories for their decks. Might be hard to find 100 year old factory floors now though.
