The awesome news is that we are FINALLY done laying up glass on the deck. That is indeed a huge milestone! Tomorrow I'll have a closer look at our work just to make absolutely sure everything is okay. 

The annoying news is that I've discovered the top of the cabin top now flexes when you walk on it. It flexes quite a lot. I'll get that in next weekends video. I don't know why yet. Nor do I know how to fix it but that's okay - that's what experts are for ;) 

My plans the coming weeks remain the same. Get the deck faired and painted! The goal is to have Athena ready for a long winter outside before I leave to see my girlfriend in 29 days. No doubt I have a busy 29 days ahead of me! ;) 

Have an awesome Sunday guys :)

Sail Life - Sailboat deck replacement DONE (maybe) - DIY sailboat refit

In this video we lay up the last layers of glass on the deck. This marks an important milestone in the refit of my sailboat. All that's left to do now is fairing (huge job) and painting. *** Links *** Sail Life on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnPatreon Sail Life on Facebook: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnFacebook Sail Life on Twitter: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnTwitter

I, ALMOST, regret saying this but your episodes are what gives me my weekend dose of exciting vlogs. I know that’s kind of perverse but It’s true. Your Athena refit has become my entertainment high point for the weekend. (It’s also my way of knowing when Sunday has rolled around again!) I want to see the future but then again you have said that you are simply a DIYer and don’t really plan that far into the future. I can’t wait to see you back in the interior working your magic. (Is Wilma still hanging around?) my best wishes for you, your friends, Ms X and Athena. You have introduced me to so many new things to do that I am just spellbound by your efforts. (I should also say how much I miss Yokul and Oblix) take care sir, good on Ya.
