3rd coat! Fingers crossed! (Patreon)

Hi Guys! 

This week was a frustrating week! I finished the tent I showed you a photo of earlier this week. That took three days. I got the hull all sanded and prepped, then on the morning (today) of applying the third coat, it turned out the heater was dead. As a result, I didn't finish painting until 13:30 - the plan was to be done by 11:00. I hope the 3rd coat turns out okay! I'll share a picture here on Patreon tomorrow :) 

That's it for what I did this week. Building the tent took up most of the week. Depressing! Hopefully, the third coat will turn out well, so I can at least cross that off the todo list. 

If the third coat turns out well, I can move ahead with many of the things that have been waiting for me to finish painting. Like for instance, the cleats and the exhaust from the engine. Fingers crossed! 

I decided to go with the first quote I got for the new standing rigging. It turned out to be the cheapest (by around $400), and it's from what I believe to be a reputable company. They're located about two hours from Skive. I'll drop off the old rigging on October 2nd. I don't have a firm date for when I can pick the new rigging up, but I'm assuming it'll be a few weeks. 

Ava has settled in well in Michigan. It seems like she's back in the rhythm - work at day and school at night. She's working as a nanny while finishing school. We both miss each other very much. There's currently no plan for when we'll see each other again - stupid COVID! Other than that, everything is still on track. I've got 221 days left at my day job - Ava has 266. 

I hope you've had a fantastic weekend :) Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe :)
