I have a limited edition print of the Argonaut II at the top of my stairs at home. I've been a professional mariner working the BC coast for 20+ years and love seeing these beautiful old boats on the water. Thank you for taking such good care of her.
Thank you for the kind words! Is it the painting of Argonaut underway and facing left with the Canadian flag flying off the stern? I have the original framed aboard in the salon. Come say hi if you ever see me along the coast this summer!
What a beautiful looking boat. I got to see a lot of older wooden boats when i worked for a fire extinguisher company. servicing the CO2 systems in the engine rooms. The workmanship was so neat to see.
Thanks, Nick, for your great presentation of the boat's history and the respect you have for those involved in the history of the vessel. Keep up the good work. Regards John from Australia 🇦🇺
Nick! Great vid and so good to see you back. May that flag bring you back to Canada for many years to come. Maybe we'll even have extended the breakwater for one of your future visits :)
What a great video! I've belatedly liked and subscribed, something I don't normally do on UA-cam, though I've been enjoying your videos for some time now. I've been to the Victoria festival multiple times now, since it coincides with our anniversary; and while my wife is no longer able to walk from the hotel to the marina, I still can! But home is Port Townsend, so I am very much looking forward to the next one! I did, of course, come to the PT WBF and visited Argonaut, even shook your hand. Thank you for making these videos and keeping history alive!
Very nice. Watching videos like this always has me wondering if I had actually gone to the Tally Ho project in the beginning, where I’d be now. I was considering the move back then, as I knew the town of Sequim (my first paid transom replacement) and Port Townsend from younger days. I really enjoy your videos Nick, keep hem coming please.
Love your vids and of course Argonaut. She’s a beauty. Only other comment I’d make is your drone flying around Sidney Spit is right in the flight path of the main runway at Victoria airport. I’m pretty sure flying drones in that area is prohibited.
you produce very nice high quality videos, You should start editing for other youtube channels who lack the skills that you have. I love that these old wooden boats are being care for and taken over by a younger generation. I really cant wait for Tally Ho to do the Fast Net again.
Thank you! I use a DJI Mavic Mini II drone (the lower end model) and a pocket 3 camera and an iPhone - I would guess about evenly across the three. There is 4k footage in the drone and pocket 3 shots, but I don’t have a 4k tv to be able to view it so not sure how it’s coming out on larger screens.
I am always amazed at how many youtubers that seem to manage to feature themselves on each other’s channels. I can picture them all walking around with selfie sticks filming themselves and pulling that stupid selfie face at the camera.
Hi Jimmy, thanks for watching! I agree that can be a bit embarrassing and it’s good to try and be discrete, but it’s also needed to capture the right kind of video to make these videos possible for everyone to enjoy! For me, it’s also a way to help me improve my public speaking and get more comfortable talking and presenting to others - including the internet. I hope you enjoy these videos and I welcome any feedback you might have.
Fantastic video, and story. Your keep it alive. I have aquired a S. California Historic family Vessel. A 1912 46ft Raised Deck Motor Launch. I would like to ask, i have not been able to find insurance for historic vessels. Would you happen to have any insight on that ? Thank you kindly. She picked us and i would like to continue the life of historicness... Capt Ron(self proclaimed) lol. For Historic Vessel Edna...Built in San Pedro CA...
Glorybe II of the same owner, was a fantastic yacht sadly broken up at South Park Marina a few years back. I[m curious about the fate of my former boat, Mic- Vic, a 40' Chris Craft DCEB also at South Park. If anyone knows her fate I'd appreciate update.

Very cool! Amazing all the research and history you have learned about the boat! Such great pictures of the people who have a connection to the boat!
Haha hey Paul! Thanks. You should come out sometime!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! This means a lot, I appreciate it!
I remember this boat visiting GMG logging camp in Smith Inlet, many great memories.

Beautiful video and excellent storytelling! Are you sure you didn’t mean Sidney Spit?
Sidney Spit, just east of Sidney, BC on Vancouver Island
Another great video nick I wish I had xtra money to donate to restoration
Get some kids to shuffle dance for you and the boat.
Fantastic video, and story. Your keep it alive. I have aquired a S. California Historic family Vessel. A 1912 46ft Raised Deck Motor Launch.

Wasn't this in April?
This video takes us to September for the Victoria Classic Boat Festival

Gots to keep up with maintaining does flags. Out of respect. 🤙🏼
Agreed, and lesson learned to take a few with me next time!
Spencer Spit? Looks more like Sidney Spit.
That’s correct - slip of my mind.
Sidney Spit. Sorry to be pedantic.
No, you are correct. It slipped my mind and I didn’t catch it.
