    End Run – Launch Scheduled

    OK, we are officially launching on Thursday. I have been complaining sometimes over the passed year that the Alunaut team has been busy building other boats and Journeyman has been delayed. But I can’t complain about the number of people now working on the yacht! We will still not be 100% complete at launch though.…

    Violence solves all problems.

    We tried to get the Journeyman out the doors today, but it turns out there is is not enough room to maneuver the trailer and tractor. Some old Soviet era concrete construction thing is in the way. So it will have to be wrecked before we can get out.
