Love Me is gonna get wet! Many thanks to our Rich, our newest Seeker crew member. His fabrication skills were simply top drawer governor. Also thanks to Richard of 42Fab on YouTube, his apprentice; Sayer, and Greg Stein for there help. It seemed like a job that would take a few days. It took 10. But it would have taken 20 without the crew. Seeker Crew Rock!

Fuel tanks are in as well as all of the control cables, thanks to Ben who drove in from Florida.  One more week and we should have her ready to go.

I’m really happy with the progress on Seeker’s tender. She is just unusual enough for my taste. I wish more people built boats, but I wish those that do build boats would do something a little more unusual more often. There is little to nothing to learn from building from stock plans. Don’t be afraid of picking up a piece of cardboard and start cutting and gluing until you have a model that you believe will suite your requirements. You do not have to be a naval architect to know that the water needs to stay outside. Go ahead and try it.  –Doug

This is an amazing time we live in.  Connected by live high resolution images, air liners, and ideas of human adventure and exploration this project has brought students as well as seasoned professionals together from across our planet.   Our little boat and her especially her bigger sister have changed my life and opened my eyes to a wonderful world.   I’m glad all of you have decided to come along.   You might not be Lars who flew over from Norway for the second time to lend a hand, but just watching is supporting what we do and we appreciate it.  Thank you. –Doug

Betsy is very excited about this.

Many thanks to Sean White and Lars Reidulff, both returning crew. We now have the VW Diesel installed and Sean figured out how to make the covers that will go over the flotation foam. Seeker Crew Rock!

Sorry for the bad edit Rhys. Here is the fixed version.   If you like boat building by the people who plan to take these boats to sea, then check out this list. And if you are planning to build and ocean going boat please pick up a video camera and join us.

I will never call a boat unsinkable, but we can make it difficult. At the end of this video we also show some YouTubers Building Their Own Ocean Going Boats.

Aluminum Pipe Bending, Heat Bending, HTP Propulse 200 Aluminum Welding, Miller Spoolgun Aluminum Welding, Plasma Cutting and Saw Cutting Aluminum. Everything we love about working with steel but with no sparks. Josh Barton wanted practice welding aluminum so he came back in for ten days, and Greg Stein spent his weekend off from welding school to also get some aluminum time. And the Love Me Tender now has all of its big pieces firmly fused together.
