Hi guys! 

Progress is being made. I'm done patching holes on the cabin top - yay! Next week I can move on to sanding the sides of the cabin top and also fairing it. Exciting times! That'll give me a chance to pull out my secret weapon - a line of tools from Flexisander. I've never used their tools before. I've heard good things, and I've heard bad things. I'm excited to see for myself.

Unfortunately, I've had a slight fever all week and a swollen lymph node for about four days. That has put a bit of a dampener on my progress. It feels like I've never really beaten last months struggle with the notorious man flue. I'm calling the doctor tomorrow. I ain't got no time to be sick dang it! ;) 

I'm almost prepared for Ava's arrival in 23 days :) It's so exciting! Our trip for through Sweden and Norway are fully planned and booked. Next week I'll order the materials we'll need to lay up glass on the hull below the waterline (200g biaxial and epoxy). I've already ordered 28 liters (7.4 gallons) of primer. We're going to have so much fun! 

I hope you've all had an awesome weekend! :)

Really a good process video! My respect for your (self proclaimed) OCD continues to grow! When you mentioned Ava’s visit and plans for your time with her and then during this video you went to the mathematics of order glass and epoxy, my first thought was “WOW, he sure knows how to treat a lady! I suppose it does harbor some shared closeness for a possible future aboard Athena. ((Personally, I think you should ask Ava how she feels about lending her first name to your first boat together)). Thanks again Mads for sharing the on going process.I’m sure Andy, from Boat Works is very impressed with your dedication and processes. SEEYOU!

About a year ago (I think) you mentioned making some trinkets out of the teak remnants as a Patreon benefit. How about instead you clean up and auction off the old boat cleats and other deck hardware? Or have a random drawing of the Patreon contributors? Could even make a random javascript formula and have Ava click the onClick button?
