Thanks to Cory and John for the assist on applying our PPG Amercoat 138 non skid. You might fall, but it will not be a slip. And yes Mom, unless you still have your baby feet, you can walk on it barefoot.

Thanks to Paige and John it looks like we’ll have something to sit and sleep on besides wood.

A massive thank you to Mr M for his work at DARPA and for arranging delivery of a massive 24v LiFePo Forklift Battery. And also to Richard, Bart, and Carl for helping with wiring.

More fun with Hydraulics. Many thank to Kyle, Bart, Ric, John, Paige and Cory for and the good folks that make oil absorbent pads.

Thanks to Cory Brown for wiring in a new breakout board and getting our CNC table setup and installed for ship board duty.

Rafe got the scuba compressor running. Clint installed bigger and better grey water pumps. Page fancied up the Octopus for the Aug 21st launch party. Kyle got the mast ready to step with the crane. And I registered my home built ship as “Private Trailer” so the Oklahoma Department of Size and Weight can issue the transport permits.

Our accumulator was only pretending to be an accumulator, but now it really is an accumulator and it can start living a complete life, of gathering excess hydraulic pressure and redisposing it as needed. Thanks to Andrew and Kyle on this one.

August 21st – VIP Launch Party Tickets on Sale. Get yours soon. Half of them are gone already.

Many thanks to crew: Rafe, Clint, Ric, and Kyle; Donnie at Thompson Diesel, and a bunch of good folks on the SVSeeker FaceBook group, for ideas and inspiration. It looks like we’ll have both the Oops dingy and the Love Me tender operational while going down the river.

Thanks to Brandon, Evan, Devin, Justin and Peter. We got a lot of cleanup, and touch ups done, along with some hydraulic work, make some fenders, tested the new outboard, and made a new CNC table from the old CNC table. All and all, a very productive and fun week. And we are now 40 days from our move to the Tulsa Port of Catoosa.
