It's been a grueling week! Getting the hull ready for Coppercoat was a lot of work. Without a little help, there's no way I'd have been able to pull it off. It all worked out in the end and Athena is now a big step closer to being ready to go back in the water. I highly doubt I'll be able to splash her before next summer (due to the wet structural members under the cabin sole) but still it's a big job to cross off the todo list.

Come Tuesday it's back to working on the deck. I'm going to give the Coppercoat a couple of days to cure before putting the stand I've lowered back up again. The plan is for Athena to be ready to move out of the shed in 4 weeks ... that's going to be a lot of work for sure!

I've knocked off a little early today to be able to go take jökull for a long walk :) I better go do that! I hope all you guys have had a fun weekend :)
