Hi guys

I'm back in Denmark after a fantastic couple of weeks with Ava in Los Angeles. I hate coming back! It's the worst! To be more precise, I hate the jetlag and missing Ava. I'm glad I can continue working on Athena but the first week is always kind of rough. 

The structural fiberglass repairs under the cabin sole are done. For a while, I thought it would take forever, but now it's done, and I can move on to more exciting projects. I still need to install the new cabin sole before I can start rebuilding, but that's a tiny job compared to the fiberglass marathon of the last couple of months. 

I've got laundry to take care of, and I need to get some supplies ordered for this week's projects (cabin sole and bilge), so I better go deal with that :) I hope you've all had amazing weekends and thank you so much for your support :)

Welcome back. I hope your break was relaxing and fun. Your videos help keep me motivated as work continues on my ‘83 Pearson 424–nothing quite like watching someone else work hard. :) I’ve been replacing the engine and rebuilding the engine bed required extensive fiberglass work. Keeping fiberglass fibers under control has been difficult. Yesterday I was looking through a sunbeam at something in the cabin when I noticed lots of tiny fibers floating through the air. I’m concerned about respiratory health and over the last six years I have sprung for two Festool sanders and a vacuum. This summer I added the RAS 115 that Andy mentioned. I have to say it does a far superior job of controlling fibers than other fiberglass grinding tool I’ve used—and yet tiny fibers are still all over the place! Your tyvek suit and respirator are good reminders that this is fun, but it’s also dangerous in ways both obvious and subtle. Thank you for reminding us to stay safe.
