Hi guys,

It's been a wonderful but exhausting weekend aboard Athena. My poor office-worker arms are so sore!

I'm 95% done fairing the top of the cabin top and I've made good progress in the cockpit. The sides of the cabin top are going to be the real challenge. Other than that there's just the small matter of adding a couple of layers of glass in the cockpit.

Ava get's here in 10 days. For the first 2 weeks, we're going to go on a roadtrip. I get to show her some of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. I can't wait! When we get back to Skive we're going to be working on Athena, doing some sightseeing around Denmark and maybe even take Obelix out for a sail. Oh and we're planning on doing a Patreon live stream like I mentioned last week. That should be a lot of fun :)

I hope all of you have had an amazing weekend :)
