Contributions will go towards the repairs, restoration, and documentation of Argonaut's rich history, along with the preservation of traditional boat building and maritime heritage through video creation.
This video covers how to provision a boat for a long sailing or cruising trip, and is a result of a lot of people who have been asking me about provisioning the boat. While hugging the coastline of BC, I am never more than a few days away from a store or market of some kind, but it is much easier and more reliable to do as much provisioning up front as you can, considering longevity of the foods that you buy, the storage and refrigeration space that you have, and the amount of food you intend to go through.
Can you keep eggs at room temperature? Can you store cured meats or cheese at room or cool temperatures? What dairy and produce products can you buy that last a long time?
Argonaut II is a 73' Wooden Motor Yacht built in Vancouver, BC in 1922 as a corporate yacht for the Powell River Company. Originally named "Greta M," she was purchased in 1937 by the United Methodist Church and operated as a Medical Mission Boat serving the remote coastline of British Columbia through the 1960's. She is powered by an air-start 1940 Gardner 6L3 Marine Diesel engine (with the original engine being a 3 cylinder Fairbanks Morse). Argonaut II now lives in Ballard, Seattle, WA and spends summers cruising through the waters of the Pacific Northwest.
My name is Nicholas Verrochi, I live aboard Argonaut full time and am working hard to continually repair and restore Argonaut back to her original condition. I am working on this RU-vid channel to document the projects, repairs, travels, and to help share this boat and the history of Argonaut II with as broad of an audience as I can.

Thanks for introducing the glue chuck and plastic pressure part. I am surprised CA glue worked so well.

I’ll never forget my first provisioning experience. 4 guys delivery of a sailboat boat from Camden ME, to Antigua WI. 4 guys, 4 carts, heaping over the top full. Can’t remember the final cost but the experience was exciting.😊

@MV_Argonaut 2 месяца назад

Provisioning can be a lot of fun - an kind of a game of how much you can stock up on / simultaneously plan how to eat it before the perishables perish and you’re left with limited dry goods and canned foods.

@@MV_Argonaut to be clear, there was an experienced captain who knew what we needed. When the freezer failed well offshore, steak, lobster, lasagna ruled morning noon and night until, you know, smell test, nah! 😂

Boat Harbour was her home port when I was a kid and she was owned by a fella named Julian. John Wayne was a frequent visitor in those days aboard his converted minesweeper the Wild Goose and the skipper used to serve me ice cream to keep me busy while him and my Dad would sip brandy. Good times. Good to see the Argonaut II still afloat. Oh and don't sweat the 'recycling', 95% of it ends up in the landfill as there's no economically viable system in place to utilize the materials. It's a feel good gesture for the hopeful.

@flockshot1967 3 месяца назад

It seems you are being polite to Tally Ho by not jumping ahead on Leo's accounting of your trip together, but I am sure that there is enough going on for you both to share from your perspective. I just can't get too much of anything involving Tally Ho and associates. I also enjoyed seeing Pete Stine in your videos. Many of us miss him on Leo's channel. Your channel is another I have found from following Leo's project. Happy to subscribe and watch your adventures as well. Rock on.

One more try with this comment… I had a chance to tour Tally Ho while she was on the hard in Port Townsend just prior to launch. I am rebuilding a boat in the same yard (having one rebuilt). The shipwrights working on my boat did extensive work on Argonaut II for a prior owner and live there boat. They have encouraged me to get aboard for a tour at any opportunity. Love that Gardner engine and your pilot house! What a beautiful classic vessel.

I used to use a little marina I think was called boat harbour and the owner was the previous owner of your yacht I for get his name? He passed away some years ago, he used to have a Goose instead of a guard dog at his marina. This Marina was south of Nanaimo. He took me for a tour of this yacht one day and he was really proud of that Gardener diesel.

@MV_Argonaut 3 месяца назад

Yes! His name was Julian Matson, and he had a goose named Loose or something like that. He owned the boat from 1971-2002 in Boat Harbour

@jetson328 3 месяца назад

@@MV_Argonaut Yes that is correct I had forgotten his name I remember that goose! On another note since you are in to classic wooden boats have you ever seen a 1913 Canoe stern 33ft yacht named Kalisha around? It was in Nanaimo harbour for years. Tan colored yacht not sure what happened to it?

@mountainhigh4084 3 месяца назад

Really enjoying your channel! Awesome video and story telling. My interest stems from the fact a very good friend of mine spent all those years Julian owned your boat helping him maintain it...he never missed a haul out and many of the improvements done to the boat during that period were executed by him. We often wondered what became of her and we're delighted to see she's in such good hands!!

Would you consider bringing argonaut II to the Pender harbor wooden boat show August 2 - 4? Moorage is free. Lots of great activities… starts with a boat parade around the harbor Friday night. At least 7 other classic wooden yachts from CYA.

Not sure where you got your information but Canada has been recycling for decades. We have blue bin pick up from home and recycling depots. For glass, some plastics and electronics. We have a refundable program for all beverage containers. Yes, you can return your wine and beer bottles for cash.

@MV_Argonaut 3 месяца назад

Hi David! Yes, I try to recycle where I can, but in the remote islands and out stations, there is no recycling or waste management infrastructure. In those locations, you will often see sorting of burnables vs. trash, and no recycling. I do my best to save recycling where I can, but that’s not always an option the further north you go.

@davidbroman8391 3 месяца назад

@@MV_Argonaut awesome! Wasn’t sure where you were going. Glad to hear you recycle. Looking forward to seeing your adventures and some of those meals.

Yum! Is it practical to have a little herb garden aboard-parsley, cilantro, etc?

@MV_Argonaut 3 месяца назад

I know other boats who do, especially liveaboards. I opt out of it mostly for space and aesthetic but I actually have a great roof to put a small herb garden on I’ve considered.

Nick, is the fridge original?

@MV_Argonaut 2 месяца назад

Unsure, but likely. It’s built into the same cabinetry that the church either built or refurnished in the 30’s or 40’s. Obviously some modern insulation and compressor have been installed but the box itself seems original to me.

@davidthesailor5022 3 месяца назад

You say that almond (not real) milk keeps for a long time but don't you have UHT real milk in the USA? Doesn't taste as good as fresh milk but keeps forever.

@MV_Argonaut 3 месяца назад

You know, I wasn't aware of UHT milk until you called it out. I'm not much of a milk drinker, but guests like to have it on board so I've always thrown a few cartons of shelf stable almond milk in the back of the pantry. I'll try it out next time I see it!

@csyburg 3 месяца назад

how can you do this provisioning and then cross in to canada?? my understanding is that all of this food would be an issue at the border check in

@MV_Argonaut 3 месяца назад

Most of the provisions are dry goods, which they don’t really ask about. Concerns are typically alcohol, drugs, and weapons, and then fruit/produce.

@darrenleask6042 3 месяца назад

Surprised you dont fish

@MV_Argonaut 3 месяца назад

I enjoy fishing, but not on this boat - its idle speed is about 4.5 knots, which is a bit fast for trolling which is my primary reason. It’s also really easy to make friends who do, and I’m happy to go out with them with all the equipment, etc.

@MichelleWallmer 3 месяца назад

Most of that fresh produce & vegetables can’t be brought in Canada. Just as Canadians can’t bring that stuff into the USA. Also very few places in Canada don’t recycle. Agree with taking it out of packing, but as a TIP i would write expiry date on the bags with a sharpie . Safe travels

@droleasy 3 месяца назад

$1300? I know that’s USD but even if I convert to Canadian dollars that still wouldn’t only be a months food here. Curious if you have a crew or are you solo? I’ve got a family of 6. But still young children

@MV_Argonaut 3 месяца назад

This is mostly just the basics to last me the summer. I will stop along the way for additional food, especially produce and a lot is subsidized by fish, prawns, crabs caught along the way

@ianmackinnon9916 3 месяца назад

Where is Canada do they not recycle? Burn garbage ???? We have been recycling for ever.. 3:01

@BlueTrane2028 3 месяца назад

Probably depends on how remote you are from major cities. We have recycling in the US but I have friends who burn trash also. They haul their own recycling to a scrapper to get the melt value.

@wornoutwrench8128 3 месяца назад

I live on Vancouver Island, yes we recycle. As the Argonaut works its way up to Alaska there are many many places to stop but they are very remote with not very many people or services. There might be fuel, a store, hopefully a restaurant, but things like recycling not available and the garbage is burned to keep it from attracting wildlife.
