Hi guys 

This was my last week alone aboard Athena. Ava arrives on Friday! I'm super excited! I know this will be a big change for her and the boat is a little bit of a mess. We'll also be swamped the next month, but I think we'll be very happy - especially when we get over this last push. Once we're in Scotland, we'll have a little bit of breathing room. The plan is for us to stay a couple of days at my parent's place while we finish a bit of painting in the forward cabin (freezer area). We'll pick up the new cushions Monday the 5th and then move aboard (provided we're done painting)

I got my first covid shot. No side effects - we'll see if I get sick after the second shot (27th July). I'm so relieved that we'll both be fully vaccinated by the time we leave Denmark. 

Oooo! Breaking news! I just got a text from the stainless guy. The new (take 2) tank is ready to be picked up. I'm jumping in the car! Please cross your fingers ;) I'll post an update down in the comment section in a few hours :) 

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

Looking forward to Ava arriving! Has she been practicing her box opening skills?
