Galley time and almost done fairing :D (Patreon)

I love the galley! I saw a comment on Facebook saying that it looked like a farmhouse kitchen. I don't think so, and I think (once the plywood is painted), it's going to look better than the original galley (I'll see if I can attach a photo to this post). 

Just for the fun of it, I kept track of my hours spent this week. Although it might not look like it, the sanding and fairing are insanely time-consuming, which accounts for a big chunk of the 73 hours spent this week. Surprisingly fiddling around with the area behind the sink came in just shy of 7 hours. In my head, that was only supposed to take an hour or two. Ahh, boat projects - what fun ;)  Having spent almost every second of free time (except for visiting Ava) over the last four years working on Athena, I understand why there are a lot of half-finished project boats around. Fixing up an old boat is not a sprint - it's a marathon. 

In the coming week, it looks like I'll get four days without rain (they updated the forecast after I finished the video). One of those days is next Sunday, but it looks a little too windy for paint. We'll see what happens. The plan is: 

• sand and fair every morning, it's not raining. 
• get the inside of the cockpit locker painted
• patch the outside of the hole from the portlight in the cockpit
• paint the galley (show what it looks like with the trim)
• build the bottom (and maybe the top) of the fridge. 
• assemble all of the winches 
• plus a few other items further down on the to-do list 

The internet a the workshop is not the greatest (slow). If possible, I'll do a patreon live stream for part of the fridge build :) I'll keep you posted :) 

I hope you guys have had a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much for your support! Without you guys, I would not be able to do all of the stuff I'm doing aboard Athena. Thank you so much! :)
