    Thank you Leo for letting me be a small part of this and trusting me with your pride and joy. I had a great time and I hope to be there when she hits the water. My dad is very proud you chose me to move it, he is proud of our company's history and happy we got to be a part of this. I forgot to thank him in the video, he is the reason this move was possible, he taught me everything I know about moving boats.

Now I know why you were chosen for the job and while you were asked back to take it on another journey. I'll bet a lot of truck drivers are in all of what you did there. 👍

I fell in love with them both, their kindness and love for you. At 71, I have seen some pretty bumpy road in life with people & employees and had lost my admiration for the human race to some extent but having witnessed all that I have in these past years with your hosts and the numerous volunteers that have come and gone...I now have higher expectations for the human race, they just might make it after all...because of people like these.
    The new location is just what the Dr. ordered...a view of the Ocean, my tears are dried and my spirits are lifted and I wish you all the best!

      Charles, I could not have said it better. I'm 69 and went through quite hard times in my life, often caused by selfish, ambitious POS. The last ones almost killed me by overworking me - after a 33 happy years career in publishing and advertising management. The last 3 years were awful. Promises they broke when they recruited me from my previous employer. If not for my marvelous friend and doctor, I would have killed myself, in dark, profound despair 15 years ago.
      My latest hit was on June 10 202, yeah a month ago, when my wife and best friend for 50 years this August, killed herself in our pool. Tough times again.
      As for you, looking on these good people brought my first smiles and good emotions in a month.
      Leo, his friends, Raoul and Darlene are such sweet, decent humans, they all brought me tears of happiness.
      Hats off to Tally Ho. I love you all. ❤️

      Yes that's exactly what it is. As a teenager I used to do a lot of hitchhiking and sometimes I would have a long wait for a lift and sometimes a short wait. The psychology of the hitchhiker is interesting. All the cars that drive by are, to a large extent, driven by people you don't want to meet. Without exception in my case, all the people that pick you up are people you do want to meet. So the car driver thinks they have selected to pick up the hitchhiker, but actually it's the other way around, the hitchhiker is selecting the nice people from the flow of cars.

    I lived in B.C. back in the mid-'70s and sailed a Columbia 26 and a Coronado 32 into Pt. Townsend several times -- the '32 was kept at the Oak Bay Marina in Victoria back then. Good times. In the later '70s I got involved in boat moving. I leased a '73 KW to Boat Transit in SoCal. where I used their trailers and authority to haul mostly overdimensional boats through or to 46 of the 48 states. I can state without doubt that a boat hauler earns 80+ percent of his pay in the first and last half-miles of the run, even if there are 2500 miles in between. That said, it was this boat moving episode that got me started with the channel. I've been with it ever since, back and forth to the extent that this is my third run through the whole series, prompted by the launch video a couple of weeks ago. It's brought back many fond memories for me -- I'm 75.

Genuine people, not the phoneys we usually get to see on the TV with their pumped up lips & their creaky LA voices. So refreshing to see these wonderful genuine people. It makes us want to visit that part of the USA. And Leo, what a superb ambassador for us in the UK. Your work ethic is incredible. It's no wonder you have inspired all those helpers, both paid, & volunteers. You are the real star of the video. My pathetic woodworking lack-of skills is highlighted but they have given me inspiration. My shelves will never be so good.
