I found out about the Seeker last year via a YouTube video recommendation and went out and volunteered with Doug in June. He's an amazingly driven man and the project is super cool and just weird: you're in Tulsa, Oklahoma working on this giant boat that's taking up his entire front yard and you're 1000 miles / 1600 km away from the nearest ocean (he has a plan for that).
Almost everything on this boat is handmade and crowd-sourced in design. If you have ever wanted to learn how to weld/plasma cut/machine/... Doug will teach you whatever you need to know and can potentially even host you if you plan far enough out. I'm headed out there again this May and can't wait to get back in to it and see how it's changed in the past year.
