Hi guys :) 

Yet another week bites the dust aboard Athena. The settee is done (for now), and I'm about to turn my attention to the head. After that comes the aft cabin. Then the galley.

In this weeks video, I mention heating the boat. It's starting to look like I might be building my own boiler-heater-doohickey under the watchful eye of the good cement-boat-guy. Martin has a design that's been working well for the last 3 years aboard their boat. That would save a lot of money, and it would also be tons of fun. Some of you might have noticed that there isn't any room allocated (inn the drawing) for the refleks stove aboard Athena. I love the simplicity of the refleks stove, but for Athena, I think I'm going to go a different route. With Ava aboard, I want to bump up the comfort factor a little and not having the stove taking up room inside the saloon would be nice. More about the heating setup when I get back from the US (leaving in a week, staying with Ava for 2 weeks). 

I'm slowly starting to feel more and more secure about the layout for the head. I'm very much leaning towards option A in the video. It'll be interesting to see if anybody has a better idea than what I've been able to come up with :) If they do there is still a little bit of time. I'm going to be putting up the bulkhead separating the head from the technical area, but that needs to go up no matter the layout :) 

I've got some laundry calling my name. I better go get it in the dryer. I hope you've all had an awesome weekend and thank you so much for your support :)

I'm going with everyone else so far.... I think A is the only way to go.

This is getting so exciting with everything starting to come together. Starting to look like a real living space. I find it a bit humorous, when thinking back to when you first got Athena, was it 2 years ago now, or 3? and you hoped to have her in the water by the following summer... LoL Now, it is some time later, and you've almost completely rebuilt the boat, have a fiance', and it's still looking like another year till you're finished....
