Hi guys!

I'm back (to let you know I can really shake it down) from two amazing weeks with Ava (my girlfriend) in California. We had so much fun! I'm very much in love and miss her like crazy. Fortunately, I plan on returning to Los Angeles in about 95 days. 

Back in cold and grey Denmark, I had a pretty lackluster weekend aboard Athena. I didn't get a lot done, but at least I felt like crap while doing it, so that was nice ;) I think the sunny weather in LA might have broken me. I've been freezing nonstop ever since I got back. It's 29C (84F) inside the boat and I'm huddled under a blanket and wearing a jacket while typing this. 

I look forward to next weekend when I won't be as jetlagged and I'll be able to get some real work done on the hatch openings :) Hopefully, you guys have had a more productive weekend than I did ;)

Sail Life - Vetus hatch trim kit, t-shirts & Los Angeles meetup - DIY sailboat restoration

I get disappointed by a trim kit for my Vetus Hatches. Also, Sail Life t-shirts and an early warning about an upcoming meetup in Los Angeles in late March 2018.

Make your own, the plastic ones will annoy you for as long as you have the boat. Although it would be more work, I would also consider some sort of "inner hatch" containing a fine cloth mesh. If you plan to sail in the tropics, letting the air in and keeping the bugs out is worth the effort, especially if thats where you are going to sleep. Tropical bugs just love tasty European flesh!

Just ordered two t-shirts for under the Christmas tree! We should be in LA in March and I'll definitely try to be at the meet-up. Maybe even by boat ;-)

Sorry the vendor-supplied trim kit was substandard, but I second the idea of including a bug screen idea in the diy version. In the warmer months we have lots of annoying flying bugs in the northern latitudes too.
