Greetings from sunny Los Angeles!
I can't tell you how nice it is to be back in LA with Ava! Yes, I enjoy working on Athena, but I can't wait for Ava and I to move aboard. I floated the idea of remodeling the forward head after we leave. Maybe during the first winter in Scotland. Ava was not super impressed, but I think she'll come around ;) It would be an excellent DIY project for that fall/winter (in 2021).
The head decision. I can't remember if I ever told you guys the conclusion I came to with the head? In the end, I ordered a Marine Elegance head from Raritan. Of course, that head is not available in Europe, or that's to say it is, but it's ridiculously expensive (double the US price). The cheapest way for me to get my hands on it was to order it direct from Defender. I could have saved a little bit of money by going with an alternative from SaniMarine that is available in Europe. But the first time the head clogs I don't want to be thinking "hmm I wonder if I should have spent the extra $50 on the one from Raritan" ;) When poop is involved $50 is a small price to pay for ease of mind ;)
I've had 5-10 people surgest we put in a composting head. There is no legal way for me to dispose of the waste from a composting head in Denmark. I'm sure the same goes for many other countires. I don't want to get into trouble by being caught on camera doing something that is not allowed :) Anywho long story short; the head should be on its way across the Atlantic as I'm typing this.
The reason I've been waiting so long for the gimbaled box is that the honorable cement-boat-guy has a bunch of stuff he needs laser-cut. The box is in that pile, along with a couple of boilers similar to the one aboard the cement-boat. One of those boilers is going to be for Athena. It uses the burner from a household diesel boiler and will provide us with heat and unlimited hot water - limited by tankage ;) More about that in a later video :)
Tonight is movie night here in Glendale. I hear the popcorns popping, so I better cut this a little bit short. I hope you've all had a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much for your support and Merry Christmas :)
