Hi guys!

It's almost time - time for me to go see Ava :) I've missed her so much and I can't wait to get to spend two weeks with her. We'll both have to work while I'm there but still it'll be amazing to have evenings and weekends together. I'm leaving Wednesday morning @ 6 am. It's a brisk 17-hour trip involving three different flights. Side note: yay for living out in the sticks ;) Still it's a small price to pay for love. It literally is a small price. I think I paid $450 for a round-trip ticket.

In Athena news, I finally got the last support for the diesel tank glassed in. That means as soon as I'm back in Denmark it's time to paint, maybe put up some sound insulation and then the diesel tank and the engine can go back in. Color me excited! :) Oh, that reminds me I've ordered something that's waiting for me at Ava's place. Check out this bad boy (NMEA 2K engine gateway): http://www.yachtd.com/products/engine_gateway.html It'll be in the first video I publish after getting back from Denmark :)

I've already started looking into what sound insulation to use. Do any of you have a recommendation? :) 

I've seen on Instagram (madsdahlke) that at least a couple of you have received your stickers. That's awesome! :) Thank you so much for your support guys! It means the world to me and I can't wait to go full time on the refit and kick things up in high gear :D 

I'm off to take Jökull for a walk. He will, by the way, be in the next video (pre-recorded because of the LA trip) ;) I hope you guys have an awesome Sunday!

Sail Life - Epoxy fun fun, diesel tank support and beams - DIY boat repair

This weekend I continue the refit of my 38 ft sailboat with a weekend of epoxy fun fun. I glass in the last of two supports for a new diesel tank and fix two loose beams in the saloon. I'm using 105 epoxy from west system.
