Many thanks to Donn, Bart, Dave, Shannon, and Greg. The exhaust system is cut and tacked in and the water tanks are all have their hatches in place. Battery compartments are tomorrow.
Building a Steel Sailboat – Battery & Water Tanks, Furring Strips and more
I’ve been listening to “The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined” and it’s a fantastic book that uses research to dislodge that idea that we live in a dangerous world. Every neurotic parent should read this and take the shackles off your kids. Allow them to breath and enjoy living. The world is abundant with kind people looking to help and share what they know. Seeker’s crew is made up from these people. Folks like Hobo Francis, my neighbor Bart, my girlfriend Betsy, Mike Love, Greg Stein, and you. Thank you for your support. Life is good. LIVE IT. –Doug
Screws, Latches, Anchor Winch and Bow Rollers
I am so ready to retire. The weather is absolutely fantastic and I’m stuck in my office box. Having Hobo Francis back and listening to his stories of traveling and working outside does not help. The sea is calling. My boss tells me there is a bet at the office that says I will stay and start building another boat. I someone wants a sure thing, bet against that. 🙂
Boat Building – Fuel Tank Vents, Cable Trays, Battery Storage
The cooler weather came south along with Rory from Kentucky. And Hugh, Bart, and Greg rounded out the crew. I am happy to say that we are done stuffing ourselves into the fuel tanks for now. They are all buttoned up and we are focusing on the overhead cable trays and fuel tank vent pipes. And thank you to all of our supporters. We appreciate your views, comments, ideas, gifts, photos of your projects and positive vibes. Thank You! –Doug
