Splash day! (Patreon)

Hi guys!

Finally! It's been a long time coming, but Athena is finally back in the water. It feels great, but there is still SO MUCH work to be done before we're ready to start sailing. To name a few: toe rail, generator, solar arch, electronics, wiring (AC and DC), freezer, two water tanks, water maker. No time to celebrate - back to work! ;) Still, it is a huge relief to see that the new rigging fits and that there are no leaks. 

Like I mentioned in the video, the top priorities now are to get 1) shorepower, 2) lighting, and 3) heat. With those three things, I'll be in for a comfortable and productive winter. I'm not sure about the prioritization of projects after that. There are some projects where I'm dependent on help from other people. It might be good to get those out of the way or at least started first. The solar arch, water tanks, and toe rail springs to mind.

I don't know if you can tell in the video, but Athena sits very high in the water. It'll be interesting to see how she sits once I've added some of the heavy items. 

I'm heading back over to Athena to put the supports for the last bit of headliner up. I'll be back a little later to reply to comments :) 

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