Restoring a historic racing yacht after buying it for a dollar
An evening pause: The yacht, the Tally Ho, had won an important race in 1927 in Great Britain. The goal is to get this work done so it can compete in 2027 in a similar race in Britain that it won one hundred years previously.
Though after watching the video, it seems this is more like a complete rebuild from scratch rather than a restoration.

Dovydas – Dreams
An evening pause: Actually Dovydas is a street performer who provides the background music and asks passersby if they want to sing something. Diane was listening to this across our house and I asked her if that was Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Nope, but about as good. The singer’s name is Brielle Anderson, as per the first comment on the youtube page.
