Sailboat Mast and Sails
South Africa, Oakland California, New Zealand, Spokane Washington, and Tulsa were all represented on-board Seeker last weekend. Norway is in route and stuck in Chicago tonight. It is such a great experience to visit with such talented creators from all over the world. And many thanks you! You viewers have purchased over 600 raffle tickets to help setup Mike with 3 phase power and anything else we can get him and his new shop. We’ll have Mike’s cast iron girl friends humming again soon, and he’ll once again be cranking out parts. We really don’t need any more money, but if you really want to support Mike making parts for the boat then you can still buy a raffle ticket of my old Leatherman at our overpriced Junk Store Thanks again. –Doug

Pirates and Vacuum and Axles and other Boat Building stuff – Arrrrr
Sometimes having a big boat in your front yard means you get to host a party Pirates. And whats with this vacuum pump? It’s 90F out and my water is not boiling. But I did manage to move a semi trailer with my Ford. Happy 4th of July. Celebrate Being America! #WeAreAmerican
POR15 Fuel Tank Sealer – Big Boat Trailer and more
It starts with something small. A plaque, a painting, a bird house. But when it draws from many minds and skills; it grows, it empowers, it spreads, and it reaches out. We are makers. We are Seeker. ‘Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.’ — Carl Sagan
Ipe Deck Tiles and Equipment Bolts
Bart and I finally finished off cutting and fitting the Ipe deck tiles. And Max flew in from Reno Nevada to finish up the grinding and tapping on all 44 deck equipment hold down nuts and complete some of the remaining welding. Live if good! We’ll be moving on to complete the fuel tanks with some POR 15 Tank Sealer.
Hatches, Deck Bolts and Other Boat Building Stuff
Alexis and Josh have made it out to Colorado, and Kevin and picked up where they left off. Meanwhile Paul has been prepping the main mast sections to be joined. Bart and I have been working on floor tiles, and Betsy has been filling orders from the Junk Store and working on the foresail. Many thanks to everybody that has been shopping at our Overpriced Junk Store. We appreciate the support. –Doug
