DIY 9 kW diesel generator (part 1) (Patreon)

What an exciting and fun week! I've been looking forward to the generator build for a long time. So many new things to learn! So far, the build is progressing nicely. I'm not much of a metalworker, but I enjoy a challenge.  Thursday and Friday are holidays over here (easter). I'll do my very best to get the last parts for the generator before easter so that I can test the generator next week.

Next week the weather is supposed to be beautiful, so I might at as well start working on some of the exterior stuff. I need to glass over the portlight in the technical compartment and possibly in the aft cabin. I want to minimize the risk of leaks in the technical compartment. In the aft cabin in might be nicer with an opening portlight in the cockpit :) 

The change in the weather also means I'll soon need to get started on sealing the deck-hull joint, fairing and painting the topsides. That's going to be a lot of work! but it's the last big push on the exterior - after that Athena should be ready to go back in the water :D

Last but not least, it's now been ten days since I got back to Denmark. No sight of corona from the long terrifying flight home! I hope all you guys are well too! Stay safe :)
