Ready to leave :D (Patreon)

No, no, it's not Athena that's ready to leave. I wish! It's me that's ready to spend Christmas and new years with Ava. I'm so excited! I fly out on Tuesday at 6 am. We're going to spend a week in LA and then fly to Michigan to spend Christmas with her paraents. That'll be my first Christmas in the US, where it's not just Ava and me. Plus, I've never been to Michigan before. I'm so excited! :D 

The timing is perfect. I'm treading water a little bit aboard Athena. The next obvious step is to finish the galley and the head, but I'm still waiting for the gimbaled box (galley) and the head before I can move start building those. By the time I get back from the US, the gimbaled box should be ready, and the head should be waiting for me too. 

Having said that, getting a bit of trim put up was great for motivation. Every time I get another little glimpse at what Athena is going to look like, I get very excited :) There will be a lot of white (personal preferance), but I think the beefy varnished trim is going to look amazing. 

I'll keep this short I've got a long list of stuff to take care of before leaving like winterizing the engine aboard Obelix, laudry, Christmas presents to wrap, etc. etc.

I hope you've all had an awesome weekend :) Thank you so so so much for your support!
