Hot hot hot! (Patreon)

Hi guys!

It's getting hot up in here... is what I'll be saying when the new heating system is installed aboard Athena. It's been running for 5 hours in the workshop. So far, no issues! It was a really cool project, and I learned a lot. It's a heavy solution for sure (I almost can't move the boiler), but it should also last a long time. In a twist of incredible timing, I got an email from a company Friday that might want to provide a hydronic heater as a sponsorship. Like I said, building the boiler was a really cool project, and I've learned a lot, but it's a week I could potentially spend working on other stuff. Funny how stuff works out like that some times :) The most important thing is Ava, and I should be able to stay nice and warm. 

In other news. We had yet another storm blow through. It's the third weekend in a row. Athena's cradle seems to be trustworthy (having made it through 60 kts winds a few weeks back), so Jokull and I decided to spend a night aboard Athena. Everything was fine; it was a little cold (for me), but we both got some decent sleep. It was an exciting experience waking up aboard Athena. It's incredible to think that we'll be moving aboard in a year! It seems so close yet so unreal ;) 

The cement boat people are busy sandblasting. They just found a giant weak spot in their hull where the cement was weakened by a diesel leak. Diesel is apparently the mortal enemy of ferro cement boats. I better go lend them a hand :) 

I hope you guys have had an awesome weekend. As always, thank you so much for your support!
