Build yourself some beautiful bathroom counter tops and sinks from a dozen red cedar planks and some fiberglass. You can do it. And you don’t need our help. But I am very grateful for Maxime that build light sconces and for Rick Wilkinson who spent the week helping with the sinks and other fixtures for the boat’s heads.

WANTED: Arch-Nemesis
Are you that voice of experience, reason, and knowledge? Do you agree that; “This boat will never see water. It will break up and sink. The welding is substandard. No one should ever go on that boat. The pilot house windows… the propane storage… …and the safety, don’t get me started… Besides Doug Jackson has no leadership ability, can not be trusted, and should never be allowed to launch that boat.” Are you a naval architect, marine engineer, captain, sailor, marine welder, boat builder, Navy, USCG, Come on! I’ve heard it all, but the rest of the world awaits you. And I will support you. Here is your opportunity to speak your mind and do it for a TV audience. Or start your own profitable YouTube channel. Write to me at svseeker@ymail.com with your background experience and list of points you see as failures and I’ll forward your email onto the production company. Thanks –Doug

Fund Raiser for Bart and DIY Ground Screw
“Take a deep breath boss.” …it’s great advice when things are not going as planned. Especially when it’s the third of fourth plan. And it’s advice you just can’t ignore when it’s coming from a good friend. Four years ago Bart packed his belongings into his truck and trailer and moved from Salt Lake City to a little rental house next door. Since then rarely has a week gone by without him spending a day or two helping build Seeker and helping me stay focused and happy. Everybody needs a friend like Bart. In addition to Seeker, Bart is now putting the final touches on his tiny home that he built from scratch. And it’s time for a move to his own piece of land. Not paying rent will assure Bart of a modest but comfortable living, and it’s only a couple of miles away so you still be seeing Bart as we put the final touches on Seeker. I invite you to celebrate a house warming and friends like Bart.
