Sanding! So much sanding! ;) (Patreon)

It has been a physically very demanding weekend aboard Athena. 10 hours of sanding by hand is no laughing matter for an office worker like me ;) 

The deck is coming along nicely. I'm very pleased with it so far :) What I'm not so pleased about is my deadline next weekend... That is going to be a very close call! If worst comes to worst, I'll just put a coat of primer on her, and that will be that. BUT... it would be much better if I can at least get a single coat of paint on her too. Why? Becuase that will make it a lot easier to apply the rest of the layers in the spring (more about that next weekend) 

I all hinges on whether or not I can finish fairing the cabin top and the edges of the deck during the next five days. Temperature is very much a concern! Fingers crossed :) 

I hope you've all had as much fun this weekend as I have ... or maybe even more fun ;)
