(Airdate: February 10, 2026) Meet Nicholas Verrochi, who’s in the midst of a four-month haul-out in Port Townsend’s famed boatyard. Six of the finest shipwrights around and a raft of project volunteers, are fixing the rot, planks, frames and centerline that’s holding the 104 year old historic wooden boat, Argonaut II, together. Nicholas lives aboard, and hosts charters around our beautiful San Juan Islands and beyond. From corporate cruiser to missionary vessel to tugboat, Argonaut II has seen it all, and now Nicholas is dedicating himself to bringing her back to glory.
