5200, I hate you! ;) (Patreon)

Hi Guys!

This was a little bit of a frustrating weekend. I had everything lined up to get the rudder finished but I fumbled the ball. I used 5200 around the rudder stock thinking it would cure in about 12-40 hours like most other sealants I've used. Oh, boy was I wrong (4-5 days apparently) ;) The good news is the rudder is fully prepped for me to dump 9.02 kg of the foaming epoxy in there and she'll be almost ready for primer and copper coat :) 

The weather has taken a turn for the worse. Temperatures this weekend where only just above freezing. That means even if the yard had finished moving Athena around I would still not have been able to start laying up glass. At least I can feel good about the fact that I have everything ready. As soon as the yard AND the weather are on my side I can spring into action. 

In other news, we now have a fiber optic internet connection at the workshop. That means I should finally be able to do live streams without interruptions / horrible quality. Is there any kind of topic you guys would like for a Patreon live stream? I was thinking it might be fun to set up a live stream of pouring the foam into the rudder. It'll be a look behind the scenes and NOT a polished live stream. I'll be focused on not messing up the rudder ;) 

 In other other news I'm starting to get nervous that Obelix's new mainsail won't get here by the time Ava and I want to go sailing. We'll still go sailing we'll just make do with the headsail and pray we get favorable winds ;) Ava arrives in 21 days. I can't wait! :) 

Thank you so much for your support guys! I hope you've all had an awesome weekend :)
