Greetings from Los Angeles!

NB! This is a pre-recorded video. I'm not back in Denmark. I'll be back with a new video on April 8 (barring any unforeseen circumstances).

What do you guys think about the plan for the summer? Is it completely unrealistic? I didn't mention it in the video, but one possibility is to splash Athena as soon as I've got copper coat on the hull and the new toe rail installed. Then I could put one of those fancy shrinkwrap tents up and take care of the deck. It all depends on whether or not I can talk my way into someones shed (like I did last summer). 

Anywho, I hope to see some of you at the meet-up today :) 

Have an awesome Sunday! :)

After hitting the refresh button a thousand times on your youtube channel, I just realized that you already wrote it here last week: "I'll be back with a new video on April 8 ". :-( Have an awesome time in CA. But come back soon - we all want to see Athena back in the water again this summer :-).

Hehe :) I'm sorry I don't have a video to publish today, but I'll soon be back aboard Athena full of energy and raring to go. Well as soon as I'm over the jetlag ;)

When to splash Athena? You have another sailable boat so it might come down to how long you’re willing to cover the cost of two boats. If you can finish Athena sooner, you’ll be able to sell your other boat sooner. Given that many tasks are easier out of the water and slashing and hauling is an avoidable expense, it might be better to get Athena a bit more finished before splashing. And with the time saved by not splashing and hauling, go sailing!
