That tile is from Mitch Hedberg, or at least that's where I heard the dreams bit. Thanks for sharing your journey Doug! You've been an inspiration since this thing was flat sheets on the ground.
Not sure, but I think it's a frigate bird!! No not a frigg it bird! I think your lady is right, after all my skin surgeries (skin cancers), we've found that keeping the spot covered with polysporin or even just vaseline helps it heal faster.

Doug, me and the 3 Darwins (formerly bilge rats turned lab rats) are coming out of retirement. Something so fantastic is being done right now in cancer research and I have what NIH is looking for, so I am gonna build. I just can't sit back and wonder if I could have done this. My time left is diminishing but I would rather die with my last memories being those of trying. You have greatly aided in the inspiration with every "What did you build today?" Thanks you❤
@@SVSeeker Didn't make it Doug but it wasn't for lack of trying. Started hospice yesterday. Look for the good. Just gives me more time to watch your videos!
3:10 "...wow, dolphins right there!..." Made me chuckle. Reminded me of an animated movie where a character would suddenly interrupt any sentence with "SQUIRREL!" whenever he saw one. It's funny to me because I can be easily distracted like this. :)
Probably half the houses in Punta Gorda have aloe plants growing in their yard. I'm sure someone there wpuld give you a few stalks of it, or even better, a potted plant. It would grow just fine on the Seeker with minimal care; just water every few days. Pro-Tip: keep it cold before using it, especially on burns. It works great.
You should add some kinda custom neon light or remote signal lights of some kind to the main mast for finding your way back to the boat/home at night. I was thinking a laser on a remote at first that points up but that would be illegal. 😂
Doug the adventures begin Seeker is showing her worth now. I hunger for the sea at the moment my boat is not ready but very soon it has been a tough journey getting her ready not long now. Seeker is an amazing boat and I can feel the confidence you have in her enjoy. Your videos are a joy to watch very inspirational.
❤great Job! Great sense of humor. Crazy how rust forms under the paint. I wonder if the 3d printer could make you caps for things to keep sea water off.
A wonderful bird is the pelican, His bill will hold more than his belican, He can take in his beak Enough food for a week But I’m damned if I see how the helican! Dixon Lanier Merritt
Doug try setting your chart plotter to heading up , it’s a lot easier to read as what you see in front of you is what’s on the chart so coming into a new port or marina at night is a lot easier 👍
For the transfer case, how about putting a long cooling line long the hull to dissipate the heat to the sea? I've forgotten the whole setup, but maybe loop the return line from the "Humerstead" (?? your hydrophilic pitch controller) back and forth, tied to the hull?
Hey Doug! It was great to meet you in Big Lagoon -we were anchored next to you. Great to see you sailing around! Maybe we’ll catch up with you later. Kimberly and Tracy on SeaStar
Looks like you anchored somewhere in Charlotte Harbor? We’re hoping to leave PNS July 12. Following your tracks so we don’t run aground! Do you have any good coordinates to share? Carol looks like a great cook and a nurse! Hope that burn healed. I’m voting for the neosporin side 😂
❤Doug I suffered welding burns like you and the dead cells transported away from the arms are dumped into the lymphatic system. My lymph nodes in my armpits became clogged and swelled up like base balls and required surgery. This happened within weeks of the burn. You can mitigate is ti some degree with help from a Dr. if you notice pain and swelling.
@@SVSeeker Oh I know that for sure, I watched all your early vids😃. You are like the real Iron Man. I hope somebody makes a documentary about your fabrication mountain climb. Truly impressive.
NOOOO!!! I Wanted to stop by check out the boat and say hello!!! Local Tampanian sailor here... Been following your webpage since.. jeeze, 2014... And now I lost the chance to stop by!
Neosporin shouldn't be placed on a large burns like that, especially UV burns. Aloe vera gel or other burn gels are the proper treatment according to welding and sun exposure 1st aid treatment. I would recommend keeping aloe vera gel on hand on board the ship since you are going to be having people out in the sun, so sun burns are going to happen often. When welding, a cotton sleeve is a good idea to prevent the UV exposure. At your age, getting heavy UV burns like that can raise your risk of skin cancer a lot, so not getting them when you can avoid them is a good idea. Mild sunburn is one thing, but Kentucky Fried Chicken for skin tends to cause skin cells to malfunction that have already been beating the odds, so best not to play that game when you can avoid it.
I think people bandage up and put too much Neosporin on wounds. Everything says they need to dry out. I find if I let them open to the air they heal faster than bandaging them up and keeping them greased with Neosporin.
Did those burns a few years ago same cause, fun fun fun. Neosporin for burns?? ick. Even clinics don't use it due to antibiotic abuse and what it may due to your gut biome. For those raw burns you have Silvadene cream kicks arse. Otherwise, aloe vera. A key part of skin healing is keeping it moist (not waterlogged) to provide a medium for the cells to build on/through. As for what I did today? I spent hours tearing apart one of my welders and troubleshooting in heat and tight quarters only to discover a custom gas valve switch I forgot about and a poor hose connection that drained all my argon. Just shoot me. Happy Sailing, Popeye!
G'day Doug,, Ah yes ,,,,many of us Welding men have become casual members of the 3rd degree welders club ,just temporarily of course.... DONT DO IT AGAIN .... Apparently they have quite a range of safety gear ,specifically designed just for Welding. WHO WOULD OF THUNK IT . Take care old mate .... Respect.....!
If you raise the anchor to just below the surface and then motor astern for less than a minute, then raise the anchor the rest of the way, it will come up facing the correct direction.
Two fans and direct contact would be nice on top of the sensor you mentioned, otherwise an oil radiator would be required?. Those are man burns, the less you think about them the faster they heal!
It was so awesome to meet you, thanks again for the tour! Your videos don’t do it justice sorry i forgot to text you my email till later, looking forward to the files.
Dumb question: I see that rust is popping up all over the top side of the boat and I know this is typical and just part of the regular maintenance of a steel boat but would it make any sense to attach zinc anodes all over the place?
Painting a steel boat is just normal part of the maintenance. And it’s gonna get worse before I bother. But notes are made for galvanic corrosion below the waterline.
When you are hauling in the anchor don’t you help the winch by giving it some forward thrust so the winch doesn’t have to be the one moves the boat towards the anchor ?
No. Not unless it blowing more than 15 knots. The winch is slow but it has plenty of power to move the boat. We will almost always put the boat is forward for about 10 seconds once we are over the anchor, in order to over run the anchor and help pull it from the bottom.
I was wondering how you welding tan was. Had a experience with that once. It’s amazing how a button up work shirt opens up when you’re leaning over when welding.
Doug at our age that sunburn can lead to skin cancer you most definitely don't want. Not being a "Safety Sallie" on this either. A nice loose fitting white shirt is your friend. Buy then in bulk and they are dirt cheap.
I do not recommend Neosporin for skin wounds, including burns. It has a combination of chemicals that often cause an allergic rash. The medication she applied looked like Bacitracin, which I do recommend. Wish you had posted a before and after.
I've welded with just goggles and no helmet for a good hour and damn that was quite the sunburn. A new way to catch a tan? Just a 5 minute weld session every day. No shirt. lol
It looked like a frigate bird I was fishing for redfish onetime and when I cast out my mullet the damn thing swooped down and grabbed my baited hook. It was like flying a kite until I got it into the boat . My and my Brother both ended up in a wrestling match with just trying to get the hook out of its bill.Amuzing but I'll pass in doing it again.
@@SVSeeker But we all know shit happens. :) While I have never had to emergency retrieve an anchor but once when in a TennTom anchorage after a storm when the upstream dam let loose a deluge on us, I was glad my windlass moved chain faster than yours. However, I have seen a slower one than yours when I was conning the battleship Iowa out of anchorage, but you never do anything fast in a battleship in part because emergencies are not allowed to happen there. :)
Today it’s 1.4 knots in 7 knots of wind close reaching. Which is the best Seeker will do. Still no main but only because if we go any faster we will get there before sunrise.
Something along the lines of a rope with knots in it every so often (1 meter maybe?) and the end was tied to a stick and tossed over behind the ship, and the number of knots that played out in a certain time indicated the speed.
Hi guys. This is Cher. Using my hubbys phone that's why his name Lester shows up! Lester calls me "Dr. Cher" bc he says I think I have a "cure" for everything...not the case... However....my Dr says bacitracin is better than Neosporin...but for burns, the over the counter therapy is...ZINC OXIDE. It comes in a tube just like bacitracin and Neosporin and is found in the same aisle as them at most drug stores. No need for me to lecture you Captain on how silly(for lack of a more stern word) it was of you to weld without appropriate attire and especially bare chested and with all that hair on your body!🤔🙃😕🤬😜❤️. Go get some zinc oxide... And behave yourself...the outcome of welding like you did wasn't funny or smart and we are surprised you even did it! Love to you and Carol. Happy Sailing and hope you heal quickly.❤
Doug I appolgize in advance cause I know this isn't going to be something you want to hear but please be careful with the welding without a shirt that's the kinda UV intentesity that causes DNA damage resulting melanoma in very short order . Since you got that nice fancy boat I had hoped to follow your explorations for sometime to come....If it fill your heart with joy to weld shirtless then by all means do so but please have someone take good quality detailed pictures of your torso at regular intervals(every 2-3 months) and relatively the same position making a record of the dates ....that way they can be shared with your doctor at some point to monitor for the changes that signal cancer. When find it early it's very treatable.

Aspercreme works a treat, it has Aloe in it, and the aspirin takes the uncomfortable edge off quickly.

Seems like another great milestone Captain...transitioning from testing and adjusting to the full on sailing where ever things take you!
A truly wonderful video! Enjoyed the lazy, easy stroll to another Anchorage.
Great video. Enjoy your stay and have a wonderful weekend
Thank you! You too!
I've spent a ton of time in Port Charolette/Punta Gorda and Boca Grande. Beautiful area!!!! Fun to see it from the gulf side of the shoreline.
Hey nice to see you again it’s been 4 years since we helped out with the boat!
“Wow dolphins right there!”😂 love it

Colloidal silver and hydrocortisone cream is what works great on healing burns. Gets oxygen to the wound and heals it.

If you raise the anchor to just below the surface and then motor astern for less than a minute, then raise the anchor the rest of the way, it will come up facing the correct direction.
Yes. …sometimes. :)
The stainless shacke on your primary anchor is almost surely weaker than the chain. You should swap to a galv high strength shackle
