Kicking rudder butt :D (Patreon)

Hi guys!

It's been an amazing weekend in the workshop :) The rudder is SO close to being done! I can't remember when I was last this excited to finish a project. Sure the deck and the osmosis treatment where bigger projects but I'm actually more excited to finish the rudder project. It dragged out a little longer than I had expected and there was a somewhat annoying setback with the rudder shell that failed - perhaps that's the reason I'm so excited. Anywho after next weekend, Athena's new rudder should be done. 

It was a lot of fun to have the live stream up while we poured the foam. As I mentioned in the video I might do the same thing next weekend while applying the copper coat. Copper coat needs to go on wet on tacky. That means there is a fair bit of just sitting around inbetween coats. What better way to spend that time than to hang out with some of you guys :D Me doing a live stream depends on what the cement-boat people have planned next weekend. If they're going to make a lot of noise a live stream might not be ideal :) We'll see :) 

Earlier today I picked up antifouling for Obelix :) The plan is still for Ava and me to go out sailing for a few days while she's here. The count down is down to 15 days now (meaning she arrives in 15 days) We're planning on putting obelix up on the hard for a few days early on to take care of her bottom. There is a lot of stuff growing down there! I'm kind of embarrassed to show that on camera but it'll be good to get her in ship shape again :) 

I hope all of you have had an amazing weekend and thank you so much for your support!
