We’re having a blast on vacation. It’s the first time I’ve been to New England to see the sights, and it has been fantastic. Tall ships, small ships and all ships in between. Lobstah, Stuffys, Clams and Chowdah. Mystic Seaport tops the list. And touring the Draken Harald was a read treat. http://www.drakenexpeditionamerica.com/ We’ll post from Wisconsin next week with a really nice surprise gift for SV Seeker.

I got some smoke free ROV wiring done and Betsy got a few more rows of foresail pieces pieced together.  Bart’s tiny home also stood through its first storm.   Betsy are I are off to see the ship museums in New England and then to Janesville, Wisconsin to pick up fantastic gift for the boat left over from Y2K.   Venture your guess. 🙂

Just a few odd jobs and tying up some loose ends. And many thanks to all our new patrons. It’s great to have your support.

Meet Our Crew 

Fear not the Tormach! I am amazed at how easy this CNC Mill is to run. We got the facing and boring done on our bow rollers and chain stoppers with no CAD, and no CAM.  Too many times we think something will be difficult when we would be better served to think it will be easy.

Cutting Your First Part

Many thanks to Will Stone and Lars Reidulff for busting the cheery on our Tormach CNC Mill.   It’s all oiled and loosened up and I’m having fun there now.  And many thanks to our viewers buying $3000 worth of raffle tickets.  Bart and I delivered a brand new 20 hp, American Rotary Phase Converter to Mike yesterday.  The rest of the money will go to getting it wired in and supplies for Mike’s shop.  You’re good people.  And if you did not buy a ticket, just go do something nice for someone.   It will make you feel awesome!

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
