I'm making HEAD way ;) (Patreon)

Hi guys!

After being bogged down by missing materials and doohickies for the last week and a half, I feel like things are finally moving again. In the hopes of not repeating that horrible experience, I'm talking half of the day "off" today to do the planning. I'll plan out the week and order materials for the upcoming projects.

I haven't been feeling good for the last couple of weeks. I'm stressed out about getting the boat ready. Not being able to sleep, heart racing, and so on. There are too many loose ends and too much task switching. Having to stop what I'm doing to email about the high output alternator, items stock in shipping, etc. Having to switch between a ton of projects because of missing materials and not being able to finish anything. I think the way out of that is better planning :)

As always, there is a bunch of stuff that didn't make it into the video.

• I got a call from the cushion guy. The last of Athena's new cushions are done. They're not going in the boat anytime soon. Ava has decreed no new cushions before the dusty work is done. That makes sense ;)
• I haven't heard from the stainless guy that's building Athena's new freshwater tank in a while. I'll check in on him tomorrow.
• There is still no resolution of the high output debacle. I think we're getting closer, but it hasn't exactly been a smooth experience.
• I ordered track and cars for the sliding solar panel setup. If we're able to build this, Athena will go from 610W of solar to 1220W. We'll only be able to deploy the two extra panels while at anchor, but that's also when we'll need them. Here in Denmark, we should be pulling in around 4.5 kWh per day during the late spring, summer, and early fall. That would significantly reduce the need to run Mr. Genny :)

Ava is already preparing to pack, and I can report that she's very excited about the dishes she has found for the boat. I'm not really at the "excited about dishes"-stage right now, but I'm sure I'll love them when we get over the hurdle of getting Athena ready to sail ;) I'm so excited for her to get here! I just wish I'd have the boat more done, but we'll figure it out :)

I'm off to do some glorious planning! I'll be back later to reply to comments :) Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe :)
