Ahoy from Athena! (Patreon)

I'm typing this in the forward cabin aboard Athena. I've officially moved in! After five years of working on Athena, it feels almost unreal to be living aboard her.

I've got a few things I'd like to improve in the forward cabin asap. I mentioned lightswitches in the video. That's by far the thing I'm missing the most, but it would also be nice to have an AC outlet in here so I can keep the door closed and still have power :) A curtain for the front hatch would also be lovely, but it's in no way a must. Hopefully, I can get those things sorted out next week.

The to-do list aboard obelix is not super long:

• scrape hull
• apply new bottom paint
• polish topsides
• new cockpit locker lids
• fix foot pump in galley
• document wiring
• clean interior

I'd fix some other things if it were a boat I was buying, but everyone has different expectations. Also, there is no sense in me fixing something the next owner might want to change. So I'm only fixing what I think is the bare minimum. I don't feel good to sell something that I'm not 100% proud of, but I'm very pressed for time. Obelix is an old boat, and the exterior needs some work. The asking price will reflect that. I've looked to see what ballads are currently listed. They're asking around DKK 80.000-90.000. I'll properly end up somewhere around DKK 55.000 (USD 8800).

My parents have gotten new phones. Iphones for the first time, and there are some teething problems ;) Fear not, tech support is on the way - or at least I will be in a few minutes ;) It seemed like an excellent opportunity to visit them and get a homecooked meal. I better hit the road :)

I hope you've had a fantastic weekend. It feels like spring is just around the corner! Thank you so much for your support :) Stay safe :)
