There is no way to describe the progress that I’ve made since the last post with words, so I’m just going to explain it with pictures and video (credit to Nikolas and Brian). In short, Nikolas, Brian, and I initially tried to set out for Portsmouth on Saturday morning, but […]
Well it seems that I am having difficulty making more than one post per month despite my best intentions. It truly is because I have been logging several hours of work on ‘ol Creeky daily and just haven’t had a chance to write about it. Long story short, it’s almost […]
Another several weeks have flown by without an update on ‘ol Creeky, but that’s not because I haven’t been making progress. I’ve just been cranking away at things little by little as time has allowed. Every night when I get home from work I try to make some headway on […]
Well I’m finally getting back into the swing of things. It still astounds me how quickly free time is depleted once the weather warms up. Since my last post there have been a lot of distractions; planning a trip to Vietnam, getting 99% of the rest of my belongings out of […]
Well I’m making a bit more progress, little by little. One of the exciting things that happened this week was Creeky’s maiden voyage under her own power. It wasn’t exactly planned, and I wasn’t exactly ready, but it worked. I got a call on Monday afternoon from the marina telling […]

I’m in the home stretch! One more night of studying, a final tomorrow evening, and then I am free! I can’t wait. Almost there…
Well, the semester is almost over and I can’t wait. I have two ~20 page papers to write by May 7th, one presentation to give, and one final on May 14th. After that I can set my sights back on making some serious headway with Creeky. However, despite my efforts […]
So I have had a very busy and productive past few weeks, but have not had a lot of down time. With traveling for work, writing papers for class, and studying for finals (not to mention working on Creeky) I have had my hands pretty full. I definitely have lots […]
