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 […]
Well I finally got in touch with Konrad at West Mekan in Norway and got a little more information on the controllable pitch propeller, mostly in Norwegian. The Adobe PDF text recognition didn’t work, so I need to manually type all of the text in the first document into google […]

This weekend was another good one in terms of headway. Jesse and I got the exhaust fully installed, and a few of his boaty friends introduced me to Ward Marine over in Winthrop, MA. Awesome! I also got a bunch of new boat toys to play with in the near […]
