Go AND Whoa?! Progress Update XPM78-01 Möbius Oct. 12-16, 2020
Picking up where we left off last week I will use this same theme of “Go and Whoa” as we work on both systems that help us get going such as our Upper Helm Station for navigation while simultaneously working on our anchoring system to when we want to say “Whoa” and...
Getting Ready to Stop and Go?! XPM78-01 Möbius Progress Update Oct. 5-10, 2020
The focus this week was on building the aluminium Console for the Upper Helm Station in the SkyBridge (the GO part of this week’s title), getting Mr. Gee his fuel supply, continuing to check off more electrical and interior jobs and prepare our anchor chain for...
Mr. Gee Gets Plumbed – Progress Update XPM78-01 Möbius Sept. 27-Oct. 2, 2020
This week’s Progress Update will be short and sweet as we are still working very shorthanded on XPM78-01 Möbius and it has been another very full weekend of boat related work for Christine and me so it is already late Sunday here as I sit down to write up this...
Damit, that’s a mighty fine Davit! Progress Update Sept. 21-25, 2020
Starting with the biggest news first; Christine and I took a much needed “mental health day” by renting a car and driving up the coast for an overnight getaway in a lovely little area we’ve been to before that is only an hour’s drive from our apartment in...
Latches, Hatches and Bling Oh My!! Weekly Progress Update XPM78-01 Möbius Sept. 14-19, 2020
The “skeleton” version of Team Möbius was leaner than ever this past week here at Naval Yachts as we are down to just two part time workers onboard Möbius this past week. However, along with Christine and myself and our Dynamic Duo of Nihat and Uğur we all...
Well Flip me Tender! XPM78-01 Möbius Progress Update Sept. 7-11, 2020
Another slow week aboard Möbius unfortunately with the combination of lack of staff to another boat ‘Caledonia” that launched on Friday and an unexpected 4 day week due to two workers testing positive to Corona 19. Those two men who had both been working...
Let There Be LIGHT! Progress Update XPM78-01 Möbius Aug 31-Sept 05, 2020
Similar story this week as the past few; excellent results and exciting progress on Möbius wherever Naval craftsmen have worked, just not as many of them working as are needed to finish and launch Möbius as quickly as possible when they are assigned to work on...
TENDER is not just a BOAT! XPM78-01 Möbius Progress Update Aug 24-29, 2020
A full five day work week here for everyone but me it seems as I had mine cut down by almost 2 days while I looked after a hernia that I developed on my Left side last week. Nothing too serious, I had one on my Right side about 25 years ago and apparently my body...
Video Tours of XPM78-01 Möbius; July 15, 2020
Merhaba as we say here in Turkey, to all our faithful blog readers. Just for a change of pace, this is Christine here and I wanted to let you know that we have heard all your many requests asking for a video tour showing the current stage of construction of our...
“Mr. Gee Go Home?” Progress Update XPM78-01 Möbius–17-22 Aug, 2020
For those who might not have seen or remember the line from the movie “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”, this week’s title is in reference to the tag line in that film where the homesick little Extra-Terrestrial kept asking “E.T. Go Home?”. Unlike Spielberg my little...
