Freakin Engineers! Why is it they never want the Zen jobs like painting in the bilge? Fortunately a boat project like this has a jobs on the list that appeal to the exacting taste of a Mechanical Engineer working Research and Development for Polaris. So I’ll be painting the engine room bilge, but Seeker now has a much improved main hatch opening system thanks to the skills of John Adams from St Paul Minnesota. And a very secure batten down system thanks in part to Mike at TulsaChain.com. –Doug

Give me your tired, your poor, your old Lithium-ion laptop and power tool batteries, yearning to breathe free. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, so I may lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Seeker is obviously my dream coming true, but it is also literally what I dream about. Specifically I dream about building the things that still need to be done. So this week was all about giving me new dreams by completing several task that keep coming up in dreams. With help from Jon and Brandon work was done on the Trailer / Paint / Mast / Anodes / Bow Rollers / Main Hatch and a few other task. It worked! Last night I dreamed about casting metal. –Doug

Thanks again to Kyle and his welding experience. I believe he may have been won over from TIG to the dark side of MIG. –Doug

Thanks to Paige for the welding and the SV Seeker Facebook group for the design help. The old Harken 70 winch is ready for it’s new life.

Our thanks to Mike at TulsaChain.com. We are ready to roll! …but there is still much other work to be completed. And thanks to Brandon Philips for slinging chain and showing how it’s done on his river boat.

We try out: JB Weld – Plastic Bonder, JB Weld – Plastic Weld, and Permatex Plastic Weld. The results are better than I expected. …but it ain’t welding. 🙂
