Tally Ho is home!
We sailed into Falmouth last night with an entourage of beautiful vessels - thank you to everybody who sailed out to meet us.

We've sailed 4345 miles from Fort Lauderdale Florida, and over 14k miles from Port Townsend where we launched Tally Ho into the Pacific Ocean ...not to mention the 7 years it took to rebuild the boat.

Lots more to come, but for now... it feels bloody good to be back!

We made it! Tally Ho sailed past the Fastnet rock yesterday evening, for the first time since 1927, after 4000+ miles and 26 days at sea.
Big thanks to the wonderful crew - Louis, Geoff and Bogle - and to the many folks who came out to meet us in their boats and welcome us into Baltimore harbour, Ireland. It's a real honour for us.
This was a really wonderful passage - we were lucky with the weather and made great time. There are many highlights and insights but for now we are busy enjoying a few pints of Irish hospitality! Cheers!
