Toe rail and KiwiGrip :D (Patreon)

Hi guys!

Wow, this week went by so fast! Me wreaking the BMS was definitely the low point of the week! The high was finishing the KiwiGrip up on deck :) We did a bunch of stuff that didn't make it into the video - I think progress this week was excellent! 

Next week it's going to rain all week, so we can't finish the kiwi grip or any of the other weather-dependent tasks, but that's fine. Next week is our last week in the workshop, so we need to finish some projects up there. Drawer fronts (dreading that one), use the last bit of plywood (4 mm stuff for headliner) and move a bunch of things aboard Athena. I was hoping we could have the generator finished and tested up at the workshop before installing it, but suddenly the cement boat people are going on vacation tomorrow. I needed Martins's help because the plan was to use a type of controller that he sells (that I'm not familiar with). I'll make my own Arduino-based controller this winter in Scotland. It's fine. We can get by without the genset - provided we get the high output alternator up and running!

I'm very much looking forward to leaving Skive and getting a change of scenery. We have a few more busy weeks ahead of us, and then we get a short break. Of course, once we're in Scotland, we'll come up with a new list of projects, but then the pressure will be off. Trying to get the boat ready is a little stressful because I want to get us underway as soon as possible to have the best possible weather window across the North Sea (to not give Ava a bad experience).

We're heading to the workshop to get started on the much-dreaded drawer fronts :) It would not be a bad project if it weren't for my horrible, very inaccurate router table. Friends don't let friends buy cheap router tables! ;) We'll be back later to answer comments :) Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe :)
