Excellent week - kitchen island and deck-hull joint. (Patreon)

I'm itchy and tired but very pleased with my progress this week. I wasn't planning on it, but I took care of all the sanding to prep the deck-hull joint and the hull earlier today. It feels great to be able to check that off the to-do list!

I'm starting to think about what color to paint the hull. I hope you're sitting down... right now I'm leaning towards white maybe with a grey stripe. Hehe, I know it might seem a little boring, but that's where I'm at right now. If you've got a suggestion, I'd love to hear it :) 

Attempting to get the most out of the summer, I've taken the month of June off from my day job. That should give me a nice productivity boost aboard Athena! But that also means I need to have a bunch of tasks lined up for myself, so I'm not wasting time.  Here is my initial plan for the summer. I might have to move some of the tasks around (weather, materials, etc.)

Week:

18: kitchen island - DONE

19: deck-hull joint sealed, hull damage repair start

20 deck-hull joint faired, hull damage repaired

21: Painted hull + port lights + start deck hardware

22: Install deck hardware + start arch

23: Toe rail + dodger install

24: Toe rail + copper coat last areas

25: Arch + activate copper coat

25: Arch 

26: heater install

27: heater install

28: Generator install

29: Forward cabin

30: Forward cabin

31: Forward cabin

32: Forward cabin

I hope after next week, I'll be done with all the fiberglass work on the hull (deck-hull joint) and at least have gotten a start on fairing everything. That'll but me a little ahead of my plan :) Fingers crossed!

Stay safe, guys, and thank you so much for your support! :)
