It was time to build in some redundancy for our power steering system on the boat. Which actually has nothing to do with steering but is used by our variable pitch controlled propeller. And many thanks to Dan Sparks and Mark Sims.

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” — George Bernard Shaw …and somedays, that is all you get. Thanks to Dustin, Dan, and Alexandria for hanging in there. It was fantastic to see the foresail up, even if it was put together wrong.

Many thanks to Dustin and Arron. All three mastheads are on including crows nest, deck lights, and VHF antenna. We also put some pitch into the prop, started showing the Cummins 5.9 some love.

There is no better way to learn about the world than going out into it. And if you really want to see the Caribbean then spend time with the people of the Caribbean. Tank a boat ride, do some sailing, diving, or fishing. And eat and drink where the locals eat and drink. You will not be disappointed.

Boating on the river is great Fun. Doing it in a boat you built from scratch is Epic. Learning and overcoming challenges is Growth. Doing it with friends you made along the way is Living to the Fullest, and there is nothing better. –Doug

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.

It does not Work! …no wait.. Hey! Blessings from the Boat Gods!

Extremely tough, unsinkable, and no pontoons to keep patched and inflated. Give Kern or Kyle a call and talk to them about the last dingy replacement you will ever need to make. Tell them you saw it on SV Seeker.
