Left To Right. Doug, Terry, Bart, George, Zach, Jack

I enjoy the welding and grinding, but what I enjoy the most is the journey this boat has taken me on. Physically I am in the same place I was ten years ago when we started working toward building this boat, but mentally I have journeyed to an entirely new world. I have learned to love myself first and in doing so I find I have no need to try to please others, and they have no ability to harm me.  It sounds selfish until you realize that there is no longer any reason to try and control anyone. The way I feel about myself is completely from within me. And when I have love for myself, I have love that I can give to others. I listen more and judge less. I find it easier to find the good, the positive, and when I find the good and the positive it brings more of that into my life. I never expected that I would find so many rewards from Seeker’s crew, but they are now a huge influence on my life and my happiness. They bring creativity, motivation, insight, skills and knowledge of life. It’s been a surprising journey and one that I want to continue on. Life is about the journey. Set sail. –Doug
