I'm back! (Patreon)

Hi guys! 

I'm back from warm sunny California. The first week back always sucks pretty hard. I miss Ava, and I'm jet-lagged. The latter results in stupid mistakes - like running out of epoxy or stainless screws *sigh*

I pretty much have figured out all the big decisions in the head (placement of bulkhead, what head to use, holding tank, etc.). Now it's just a matter of putting in the time and doing the work. While doing that, I need to start planing the galley. I've got some of it figured out (location of sink, fridge, etc.), but we still haven't decided if we should go electric (induction) or continue to use propane. Of course, one big concern is how do we generate enough electricity while underway to be able to cook. With the limited amount of solar, we can fit, I doubt very much that it is going to be enough. While connected to shore power, it would be very convenient not to have to fill propane bottles, and it would also be a plus to get rid of propane from a safety perspective. BUT none of that matters if we can't cook while at anchor/underway. Lots of exciting decisions to make :)  

I've enlisted the honorable Mr cement boat guy for some feedback on the gimble box. I think it could be pretty cool. In the current version, there is a 2 "burner" induction cooktop and a combination oven. There is about 20 cm of space next to the cooktop. That would make for a neat gimbaled worksurface. I expect to have the gimbaled box figured out in a few days - if it's a viable solution. I'll keep you posted :) 

Any ideas or feedback is very much welcome :) As always, thank you so much for your support! :)
