This weekend marked an important milestone. The first new bulkheads aboard Athena are now installed! It was both fun and also a nice break from laying up fiberglass. I’m now ready to install the first section of the new cabin sole. I plan to do that this coming week. I need somewhere to put my tools, epoxy, and fiberglass so I can get access to the structural members on the port side. 

I’m really excited about the new layout. I think having a bigger head and moving the chart table out of the aft cabin are both big improvements. What do you guys think? :) Also the kitchen island was a stroke of genius I think (Ava came up with that - meant as a little bit of a joke but still). We don’t need that much seating, but more counter space would be amazing.

Today is Sankt Hans here in Denmark (https://www.thelocal.dk/20190623/denmark-sankt-hans-aften). There’s a band playing next to the marina. The just did a sound check and sounded pretty cool. I’m off to check them out :D 

I hope you’ve all had amazing weekends just like me! :) Thank you so much for your support!

Great job with the bulkhead. Your new head is going to be amazing

So...would a higher angle scarf combined with the fiberglass butt joint be an option? It probably doesn't matter, as the bulkheads are supposed to thwart movement in their plane. 8:20's the prudes are gonna hammer you about eye protection. Dayum! Rolling two strips of glass like a boss! I am starting to see your design better...can't disagree with the plan.
