Another great video. This might sound weird, but the cream-coloured rope used on Tally Ho is rather beautiful. Similar to what I use on my wooden lugger. Just wondered what type it was?
I am Alutiiq/Sugpiaq from the Cook Inlet area. Thank you for being respectful of the native areas. My wife is from Tucson, Az. A cousin of her's came to Alaska this summer. This cousin reach out through a DNA checking site and she found out why she didn't fit the profile of the rest of her family. Come to find out she was of Haida ancestry. Her grandfather was adopted out of the tribe in the early 1940's. They weren't told where he went. His brother searched for him till he died. When she contacted the Haida Nation she was welcomed back to the tribe. you will hear many stories how these policies affected the native peoples, including my family. I have followed your story from the beginning. Love to see Keith Rucker's capstan job in action. My sister, Elizebeth and her friend Jim got a tour of the project by Leo. Looking forward to see the ship in Alaska.
dna is doing wonders. they found my moms side in the mik maq, the other side of the continent story of native. The strange twist of fate, as neither of my parents know their history.. they found my Y dna specifically on iceland at 850CE. To be where the vikings went, would have encountered the native my mother had built in. My lower teeth match native american..and I am 99% european. You can disrupt family, aven long after unwritten...or even forgotten, there is love that finds its way home.
I circumnavigated Haida Gwaii when I did sea urchin diving. We stopped at the beautiful hot springs on the southern edge of Graham Island. I hope the springs are returning after the earthquake
That re,connection is wonderful, it should never have been necessary, but is wonderful nonetheless. We have numerous situations like this in Australia with our First Nations People ( stolen generation)
The obsidian trade was a thriving west coast business. It was surly available to the Haida through their trading activities. Wonderful video Leo. Haida Gwai is indeed a magical place.
The seamlessness with which you have transitioned from fantastic boat construction videos to equally fantastic sailing and travel videos is remarkable. Keep up the great work!
And yet I feel somewhat sad as I feel my interest slowly waning… this channel has been a good companion of mine through an important, but tough, period of my life, but I can simply feel that I’m eventually going to let Leo sail his own way without me…
Unfortunately, this was always going to happen, and it is a time I have always...well, not quite dreaded.... hoped wouldn't arrive. I hope Tally Ho sails around nicely for a few years, wins her category of the Fastnet Race, and keeps everyone on the channel (without me) entertained. I can only look forward to the day when Leo announces he has found another wreck.
Honestly when I watched his first videos I was astounded by his very chill approach to making the keel...got hooked from there. As a person FAR removed from anything wood or boat building he made daunting woodwork look "possible". Its like Im watching a magician at age 5, a happy subscribed supporter from day one.
I spent goodness knows how many years watching Leo and crew build this boat. It's now going to be a wonderful goodness knows how many years watching him sail to places I will enjoy visiting virtually!! Thanks Leo and all the crew. Let us know when you do finally hit the UK!
So the best boat building channel has turned into the best sailing videos. Fascinated by the native peoples of NW of now Canada and us. Amazing culture
I'll be quite chuffed to see how he gets Tally Ho to the Atlantic, rather through the expensive Panama Canal, or around the horn of South America, through the Magellan passage, or over the top of North America next Summer. Sail on sail on.
Leo, your videos are fantastic for many reasons, but my favorite element is that they have so many layers: people, places, things, thoughts, images, music, words, work, hopes, dreams, and many others. Like so many others, I look forward to your bi-weekly installments. I'm sure that filming, composition, and editing takes a substantial amount of work. In my opinion, it is very worth it. Please keep it up.
That is beautifully written @thusspokezarathustra. I couldn't put it any better. My heart is glowing as I watch this video and read the comments. Thank you.
No one builds a boat with such purpose like someone from the ocean. So glad you've built a vessel big enough to bring us all along as you show us the world.
That was my exact thought, two seconds before I scrolled by your comment! The shots and angles, the color grading, the editing, the storytelling, the music - it's all just so good! If Leo ever needs to find a job on shore he could easily work as a cinematographer or video editor.
Excellent! This is exactly what I hoped would be the next chapter of the reborn Tally Ho, now that she is up and sailing, stopping and seeing the historic spots that would be most familiar to seafaring sailors. This was a great visit and I love how I saw and learned of a people that I would never have heard about if it weren't for Leo and his crew. Thank you!
I'm surprised that despite the lack of boat-building videos, your posts seem to be getting better. I've followed Tally Ho's journey from the beginning and was a little concerned that when Tally Ho was finished we would lose you. Well, I'm still here because you are too. This video is superb.
Thank you so much Leo. I spent 30 years sailing and fishing around the BC coast (I lived in Sunshine Cove near Sechelt) though I never made it to Haida Gwai. Your video brought me back to those wonderful years and I am most grateful that you shared this with us. My father had s boat yard in Lymington in the 50's 60's so the building and sailing of boats are forever in my blood.
Thanks for introducing the Haida culture and history to me. I've always loved history and archeology and I don't remember ever hearing about such an interesting tribe of the First Peoples. It saddens me to think of the rich culture and knowledge that was almost completely eradicated. Tally Ho is such a beautiful vessel. I appreciate her more than most because I saw her restored from start to finish.
Yes, truly. What is it about colonisers that they feel (a) superior and (b) so threatened by the first nations that they have to proscribe the native languages and remove the children. I don't get it, but it's a global pattern.
I thought I would miss the boat building part, but witnessing this is satisfying on a level I didn’t know I needed. Absorb it all, mate. I don’t think you completely comprehend what you’re realising, but witnessing your journey these last few years gives me hope.
I lived in Haida Gwaii as a kid (grade 5-6) for 2.5 years, and worked there for 8 summers, mostly in what is now the park. They were magical times in my life.
Thank you all for sharing your trip with us.Great Video!. I'm 93 years old and landlocked here in Yuma, AZ. (105 degrees F. ) I may not be with you physically, but I am spiritually. God Bless you all.
The quality of your videos is equal or better than your best videos when the build was happening. It will be the best opportunity to see such great sea and landscapes as my traveling days are over. I could not be happier for all of you.
"Learn a new thing every day" is one recommendation for a long and healthy life. And today, I have learned a New Thing - about the Haida - Gwai area, a part of the world I have never heard of in 80 years on the earth and many, many years of sailing and travelling. So thanks Leo and crew for introducing me! It looks to be a really special and historic area, with a beautiful environment and an unfortunate and shameful history of colonialist exploitation. These videos continue to enthrall and educate us and I am looking forward to more of the journey!
It is absolutely wild that you have transitioned from boat building to sailing. You're currently in my back yard, which makes it really fun to watch. Also, thanks so much for shining light on these important issues around reconciliation.
Leo, I hope you continue to go to the places less traveled and tell the stories of those who have been there before and the stories of the land and the sea. The history of not only the boat but of the sea is why we all love your content. I look forward to seeing the story you tell of your life and watching it unfold.
Leo and friends, as well as being master craftsman, you are natural born filmmakers. Seems like your channel is just beginning. May you enjoy that beautiful boat, and keep sharing it with us.
I'm thinking that Leo has wondered if his patron feed will continue to support his project now that Tally Ho is complete and her new life begins. I for one will continue to support the project as these new videos bring a world I will probably never see in person to my desktop. Leo's work is full of great content and I feel I'm living vicariously through them. Keep up the good work!
Amazing Leo! Seriously, enjoyed every moment. The respect you show to the environment, the people, cultures, you are a gifted storyteller and in love with the new direction your story is going.
Oh my god! I used to watch this channel for its amazing problem-solving and tool skills, and now I can explore places I never thought I'd see. The respectful way you approach cultures fascinates me! Thank you, Leo, and your crew-you’re incredible! You're like the new Jacques Cousteau with the Calypso! How about we all create a small underwater robot for exploration?
I continue to totally enjoy the adventures of the Tally Ho and crew. Leo, you are as masterful at producing videos that show the beauty and goodness of your sailing adventures as you were at recording the craftsmanship of rebuilding the boat. Please continue to include details like the critters of the tide pools that put the icing on the cake. I am so pleased to witness this wonderful series. Keep up the good work. When the videos end, I'm always smiling !
What is so fantastic about Haida Gwaii is that you can stand on a beach and breath in the same fresh moist salty air that the ancestors living there thousands of years ago did and you have the very same fresh sea and cedar smell. I have to admit that of the dozens of times I visited Haida Gwaii (and the couple of tours I got with a watchman) not once did the words 'internet' or 'email' cross our lips. AH, those were the days.
Fourteen years ago I had the privilege of being able to visit Haida Gwaii, working on a documentary about painter Emily Carr. We spent four or five days there, starting in Moresby going via zodiac to Cumshewa, Skedans, stopping at a bunch of inlets and marvelling at the old growth forests, and eventually making our way down to Rose Harbour and SGang Gwaay. It's truly a magical place.
I came for the boat building but I’m staying for the sailing and exploring! I have no small amount of jealousy for what Tally Ho and her crew are getting to experience. Thanks for the share!
Your transition from boat building, to sailing channel is very smooth. Love the cinematography, respect for the locals, and the way you convey your joy for just being there in the first place. Looking forward to more sailing adventures.
I’ve watched every one of your videos Though I’ve enjoyed each one and am glad when a new one comes out, this is the first time I’ve felt compelled to make a comment. I truly appreciate that you are sharing such interesting content about Haida culture in such a respectful way. Such a wonderful way to put the Tally Ho to work!
Another great video ,what an amazing part of the world. Leo you look like the weight of the world has been lifted off your shoulders, it’s great to see all your happy faces,you deserve every second of it
Beautiful pictures and nice excursionist documentary. Thanks for making us dreaming and travelling beside all of you Team Tally Ho: 'What a Wonderful World...' of yours.
Totally loving the new display from the plotter of the route you have been taking. Your ability to show where you are is getting better and better. On your interactions and respect for the natural spaces you are getting to see is a delight. Especially with the communication on the history of the place, people and creatures that are there.
Awesome video! So impressed with the tradition, and the effort to carry on by the Haida people. Your guide was so informative and proud of his heritage. And the sea life! I had to open a can of sardines just to sate an impromptu appetite! Sail on, Tally Ho!
I've visited there 3 times. Once as a kid sea kayaking at age 16, once in my own sailboat at age 29, and in 2021 on a small mini-cruise ship (getting soft!). Each time I was welcomed by the Haida who were always happy to share their knowledge of their land. Super amazing place to visit. If you ever have the chance, make the effort. Something special about it.
I add my praise for your video work. After years of watching the Tally Ho story unfold your use of the working capstan and anchor chain as a metaphor for all being right and seaworthy on the journey is just the tonic that one needs these days!
Having served in the Royal Canadian Navy (including sailing with the HMCS Oriole- which has made me a long subscriber to your channel) and now as an avid cruiser, I have gone by these beautiful Islands so many times. Thank you for posting such a beautiful video of actually having the honour to be able to visit one of them!
What to say??... You are the luckiest people in the word. It's a unique voyage!! J' en suis jaloux !! Continuez de partager toutes ces merveilles et ce sentiment de liberté que j' ai appris la première fois que je suis parti en bateau à voile. Et bon vent!!!!👌👍
Somewhere out there in the vast nothingness of space... Somewhere far away in space and time... Staring upwards at the gleaming stars in the obsidian sky... We're marooned on a small island in an endless sea Confined to a tiny spit of sand. Unable to escape. But tonight... On this small planet... On Earth... We're going to rock civilization - Is this bass really strong enough? -
Like so many comments before me it’s really a breath of fresh air to be part of Leo’s adventures. There is really nothing worth while on TV. There are so many “Shoot em Up’s” on TV no wonder folks are led down the wrong path. So to watch the exceptional craftsmanship it took to bring a dream to reality is really worth watching. And now to be transported from my chair to a true adventure is wonderful , no, magical!
Leo and Co : I really hope you'll read The Wide Wide Sea by Hampton Sides, if you haven't done so already. It traces Cook's final voyage, which includes his travels in the area. It's a familiar story for anyone who reads the stories of the great explorers, who often weren't so great, which is to say horrible. Cook cannot be removed from that category (sorry, Aussies, you gotta dump that guy), but the sometimes nuanced aspects of his approach to first contact, and the fact that he led expeditions that were indeed the first contact for so many peoples with Eurpopeans makes the story essential. Sides' book is not the usual heroic narrative, but brings a modern sensibility and no fear of judgement of Cook, and it's a worthy effort. From a very different point of view, but also relevant I hope you read The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow, if it's new to you. It details what we know about how ancient people organized themlelves,in the light of modern archaeology and anthropology, and humanity's long prehistory. The long section in the middle that covers the Northwestern First Nations like the Haida, and the groups to the south of Columbia River is really interesting; and because so many of the most fully self-determined peoples were the ones who were often most affected and even destroyed by European contact, it's deeply relevant to those who'se lives will be retracing the paths of first contact, in many places around the globe... Haida Gwai has been on the minds and the conscience of ex-BC'ers like me who were there during the struggles in the 80's to preserve the old growth, and more importantly, the culture in that area. The picture we all saw for the first time back then, when loggers were ready-to-rip and destroy something so important forever, was such an eye-opening revision of the taught-in-schools Canadian national narrative: something we also learned from other First Nations' struggles in the East, and of course in the coming out of the national shame of the Residential Schools. It makes my heart lift to see that what remains is Haida, and you going there on your first voyage means much more than I thought it would.
As a long-time Europa Universalis IV player, I've often come across the Haida as one of the tribal nations in-game. Besides video game shenanigans, it's interesting to see your real-life experiences there, plus the actual area, in moving images, rather than just on a 2D video game map. I'm glad you visited and shared it, since I never thought about looking it up myself. Having watched through all the videos you made, I'm very glad to follow your continued adventure.
LEO! Thank you so much for exploring the PNW before you take off for other regions of the world. It's my home and I am so glad you are sticking around to see the magnificent beauty of it. ❣
I didn’t ever believe you guys could do justice to the construction videos but I am blown away. This is so beautiful. Thank you so much for visiting such a special place with such dignity in your bearing.
What a privilege to be witness to your amazing adventures. Your degree of empathy and sensitivity to your surroundings is always an inspiration. Thank you. 😊
As always, such a great watch. Entertaining, engrossing and thoroughly enjoyable. Absolutely fantastic. The favourite part of my week is seeing a new episode, grabbing a cup of tea and just relaxing into the show. Thank you!!!
Wonderful stuff, Leo. Seeing the abundance was both awe inspiring and devastating - we’ve lost so much in much of the world. Glad you got to experience it - and in such a respectful way.
I have no idea how you managed to tear yourself away from all that immense natural beauty to return to any little bit of what we are pleased to regard as civilization. Thanks for sharing.
I've been all over the world sailing and working as an economist and International Business Adviser but I've never been anywhere as beautiful as the islands and inlets you've just sailed through, I can say guys and gals I'm actually very jealous of your summer sailing trip. Fair Winds And Following Sea's My Friends !!!!!!
I'm 42 and it's so weird that I never really thought about what "sailing" really is. I always just imaged the sails in the wind and open ocean, but all these islands and endless waterways have really opened up my eyes to how cool this lifestyle really is.. I get it now; and I just think it's strange that this stuff just never occurred to me. lol.. The amount of detail and labyrinth of channels and islands just on the west coast alone, has really been a cool discovery that I never realized I needed. More people need to be educated about this world.. Sailing isn't about the boat at all.. it's about where you're going.
Your content has stayed consistently excellent as you transitioned from the build to exploration. Thank you for bringing us with you every step of the way!
LOVED this video! Visiting the village and hearing about its people was absolutely fascinating. Seeing you relax, explore and wander around this mesmerising place. Some more vlog like moments. It had it all.
What a nice video! Great start into my day. Thanks for that! 🙂 To watch this beatiful, wild, remote scenery and wildlife, and then this beatiful boat in it, is an exquisite pleasure.
Truly a remarkable part of our world and it is good to see positiv developments for the Haida people and Indigenouse people in general. Propably one of your most beautiful videos yet. I´m absoluty in love with this ecosystem
No drama, no clickbait, just observational insight and self-deprecating humor…just what TH-cam should be. Thanks Leo & Co.
I dunno, I’m kinda stressed out about their Starlink service
Tally Ho just looks so classically beautiful 😊
It is sad that this quality and respect in TH-cam is considered strange.
Great job Leo and crew.
What he said!
Another great video. This might sound weird, but the cream-coloured rope used on Tally Ho is rather beautiful. Similar to what I use on my wooden lugger. Just wondered what type it was?

Like the part where he said, "...cause not everybody's born with common sense". Amen to that.
He had so much to share a programme in his people’s history as told by them would be great

I am Proud to be Haida!
Long ago, when Leo started all this, we envisioned such content. It's finally here, and it's astounding.

this show just keeps getting more beautiful

Leo, your videos are fantastic for many reasons, but my favorite element is that they have so many layers: people, places, things, thoughts, images, music, words, work, hopes, dreams, and many others. Like so many others, I look forward to your bi-weekly installments. I'm sure that filming, composition, and editing takes a substantial amount of work. In my opinion, it is very worth it. Please keep it up.
Well said. The soundtrack is a joy too!
In a world so crowded with violence and bad news, Leo yours documentaries of Tally Ho adventures is a balm for the soul. Magical to view thank you.

I lived in SE Alaska for 43 years. You are making me pine for the Fjords!
A breath taking video, I don't know what else to say except thank you Leo and crew for sharing this with the world.
Beautiful video! Wonderful to highlight and appreciate the culture of First Nations peoples as a focal point of your adventure!
Beautiful pictures and nice excursionist documentary. Thanks for making us dreaming and travelling beside all of you Team Tally Ho: 'What a Wonderful World...' of yours.
Totally loving the new display from the plotter of the route you have been taking. Your ability to show where you are is getting better and better.
On your interactions and respect for the natural spaces you are getting to see is a delight. Especially with the communication on the history of the place, people and creatures that are there.
Nothing touches more emotionally than this channel.
Awesome video! So impressed with the tradition, and the effort to carry on by the Haida people. Your guide was so informative and proud of his heritage. And the sea life! I had to open a can of sardines just to sate an impromptu appetite! Sail on, Tally Ho!
It doesn't matter if Leo is telling us about planking or plankton......Learning is Learning and I love it!! DD
Leo and the crew are great ambassadors. I can't wait for Tally Ho the movie. I need an hour of this a week. Amazing content so beautifully made.
Even the first part of that movie series (Rebirth?) will need at least a trilogy of full-length feature films to do it justice.
Great video. Just have fun with what you see and show the world something unique. It’s a great transition for the content.
I've visited there 3 times. Once as a kid sea kayaking at age 16, once in my own sailboat at age 29, and in 2021 on a small mini-cruise ship (getting soft!). Each time I was welcomed by the Haida who were always happy to share their knowledge of their land. Super amazing place to visit. If you ever have the chance, make the effort. Something special about it.
I add my praise for your video work. After years of watching the Tally Ho story unfold your use of the working capstan and anchor chain as a metaphor for all being right and seaworthy on the journey is just the tonic that one needs these days!
Verdigris on the deck fittings that I watched being lovingly crafted and installed so recently, it's like a lifetime in a few years.
Leo, there's no other way to put it - I simply love you and how you are. We need thousands more like you everywhere to carry the message
Amazing. Such an honor to meet and learn about the Haida tribe. Thank you for taking us along. Breathtaking in so many ways.
Having served in the Royal Canadian Navy (including sailing with the HMCS Oriole- which has made me a long subscriber to your channel) and now as an avid cruiser, I have gone by these beautiful Islands so many times. Thank you for posting such a beautiful video of actually having the honour to be able to visit one of them!
Thank You Leo for letting these stories be told and providing an opportunity for us to listen to critical peoples.
What to say??...
You are the luckiest people in the word.
It's a unique voyage!!
J' en suis jaloux !!
Continuez de partager toutes ces merveilles et ce sentiment de liberté que j' ai appris la première fois que je suis parti en bateau à voile.
Et bon vent!!!!👌👍
I learned about Haida watching the Itchy Boots motorbike vlog, nice to see it from a seafarers point of view now...
Same here avid itchy boots watcher as well
This is what being respectful of one environment looks like. Well done and this second version of the Talley Ho adventure continues.
Just made coffee, perfect timing!
Same here, except tea!
Beer for me pls, it's 8PM lol
@@therickman1990 cheers
Cider works too
It's like the adult version of my Saturday morning cartoons. Can't start the day without it!
Your camera man ( person?) deserves a raise in pay. Every frame of this episode simply beautiful. Thank you.
"Marooned" a Duchess of Desire feature film.
Somewhere out there in the vast nothingness of space... Somewhere far away in space and time...
Staring upwards at the gleaming stars in the obsidian sky...
We're marooned on a small island in an endless sea
Confined to a tiny spit of sand. Unable to escape. But tonight... On this small planet... On Earth...
We're going to rock civilization
- Is this bass really strong enough? -
Balderdash!
Thanks for letting me tag along. Been onboard from the start of the build and what a wonderful way to celebrate the completion of this beautiful boat.
Living the dream Leo, just living the dream. Long may it continue.
It's interesting to hear when people are disconnected from the internet and communications, after the initial panic, how calming it is for people.
No words can explain the love you guys you are experiencing. Thanks so much for sharing. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
I dont remember when I started watching but all these years later I am still enthralled with the journey. Thank you.
To my mind this is the finest video you have uploaded.
Like so many comments before me it’s really a breath of fresh air to be part of Leo’s adventures. There is really nothing worth while on TV. There are so many “Shoot em Up’s” on TV no wonder folks are led down the wrong path. So to watch the exceptional craftsmanship it took to bring a dream to reality is really worth watching. And now to be transported from my chair to a true adventure is wonderful , no, magical!
Leo and Co : I really hope you'll read The Wide Wide Sea by Hampton Sides, if you haven't done so already. It traces Cook's final voyage, which includes his travels in the area. It's a familiar story for anyone who reads the stories of the great explorers, who often weren't so great, which is to say horrible. Cook cannot be removed from that category (sorry, Aussies, you gotta dump that guy), but the sometimes nuanced aspects of his approach to first contact, and the fact that he led expeditions that were indeed the first contact for so many peoples with Eurpopeans makes the story essential. Sides' book is not the usual heroic narrative, but brings a modern sensibility and no fear of judgement of Cook, and it's a worthy effort.
From a very different point of view, but also relevant I hope you read The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow, if it's new to you. It details what we know about how ancient people organized themlelves,in the light of modern archaeology and anthropology, and humanity's long prehistory. The long section in the middle that covers the Northwestern First Nations like the Haida, and the groups to the south of Columbia River is really interesting; and because so many of the most fully self-determined peoples were the ones who were often most affected and even destroyed by European contact, it's deeply relevant to those who'se lives will be retracing the paths of first contact, in many places around the globe...
Haida Gwai has been on the minds and the conscience of ex-BC'ers like me who were there during the struggles in the 80's to preserve the old growth, and more importantly, the culture in that area. The picture we all saw for the first time back then, when loggers were ready-to-rip and destroy something so important forever, was such an eye-opening revision of the taught-in-schools Canadian national narrative: something we also learned from other First Nations' struggles in the East, and of course in the coming out of the national shame of the Residential Schools. It makes my heart lift to see that what remains is Haida, and you going there on your first voyage means much more than I thought it would.
As a long-time Europa Universalis IV player, I've often come across the Haida as one of the tribal nations in-game. Besides video game shenanigans, it's interesting to see your real-life experiences there, plus the actual area, in moving images, rather than just on a 2D video game map.
I'm glad you visited and shared it, since I never thought about looking it up myself. Having watched through all the videos you made, I'm very glad to follow your continued adventure.
Those tidepools are amazing!!
Bursting with life!
LEO! Thank you so much for exploring the PNW before you take off for other regions of the world. It's my home and I am so glad you are sticking around to see the magnificent beauty of it. ❣
Best show on TH-cam
I didn’t ever believe you guys could do justice to the construction videos but I am blown away. This is so beautiful. Thank you so much for visiting such a special place with such dignity in your bearing.
Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Cant wait for the next video.
Fair winds 😊
Leo.....!! You are defining the Joy of Living. Thank you for sharing it. You made my day.
Amazing place that not many are privileged enough to visit but it's great to follow along. Thank you.
What a privilege to be witness to your amazing adventures. Your degree of empathy and sensitivity to your surroundings is always an inspiration. Thank you. 😊
As always, such a great watch. Entertaining, engrossing and thoroughly enjoyable. Absolutely fantastic. The favourite part of my week is seeing a new episode, grabbing a cup of tea and just relaxing into the show. Thank you!!!
OMG this is by far the best episode and historical knowledge i have seen by far!
Wonderful stuff, Leo. Seeing the abundance was both awe inspiring and devastating - we’ve lost so much in much of the world. Glad you got to experience it - and in such a respectful way.
I have no idea how you managed to tear yourself away from all that immense natural beauty to return to any little bit of what we are pleased to regard as civilization. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful. What a beautiful area. Thanks so much for sharing it.
I've been all over the world sailing and working as an economist and International Business Adviser but I've never been anywhere as beautiful as the islands and inlets you've just sailed through, I can say guys and gals I'm actually very jealous of your summer sailing trip.
Fair Winds And Following Sea's My Friends !!!!!!
Thanks for the great footage. Wow! What a place!
I'm 42 and it's so weird that I never really thought about what "sailing" really is. I always just imaged the sails in the wind and open ocean, but all these islands and endless waterways have really opened up my eyes to how cool this lifestyle really is.. I get it now; and I just think it's strange that this stuff just never occurred to me. lol.. The amount of detail and labyrinth of channels and islands just on the west coast alone, has really been a cool discovery that I never realized I needed. More people need to be educated about this world.. Sailing isn't about the boat at all.. it's about where you're going.
This is the best classic sailing channel online bar none…….love it guys & ladies just brilliant ( from Mark Raynes UK with 100 year old gaffer)
Your content has stayed consistently excellent as you transitioned from the build to exploration. Thank you for bringing us with you every step of the way!
LOVED this video! Visiting the village and hearing about its people was absolutely fascinating. Seeing you relax, explore and wander around this mesmerising place. Some more vlog like moments. It had it all.
What a nice video! Great start into my day. Thanks for that! 🙂
To watch this beatiful, wild, remote scenery and wildlife, and then this beatiful boat in it, is an exquisite pleasure.
What an honor... Thanks for sharing with us.
Truly a remarkable part of our world and it is good to see positiv developments for the Haida people and Indigenouse people in general. Propably one of your most beautiful videos yet. I´m absoluty in love with this ecosystem
What an incredible region of the world to visit and experience Leo & Crew! You guys are so lucky! Stay young and keep on sailing into the sunset! 👍👍⛵⛵
The internet needs more of this. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Loving the frequency and quality of the videos!
