Bye bye workshop (Patreon)

Hi guys! :D

A few important things happened this week. I got my second covid shot, and we cleaned out the workshop. That's two giant steps in the right direction :) All our early belongings are now aboard Athena. That feels really, really good! 

I can't remember if I've already mentioned it, but we have found a couple of places in Scotland we're considering for this winter. At the top of the list right now are Tarbert (small village, looks beautiful) and Troon (town, closer to Glasgow). Both are on the west coast. I'd be delighted to stay in either place. I can't wait to get Athena moving! :) 

The new BMS showed up. I haven't connected it yet, but that's on the list for tomorrow. Fingers crossed I don't short out this one too ;) Getting the BMS, inverter/charger, and alternator up and running is my top priority for the coming week. Those are all supercritical items we desperately need to be able to sail. It'll be a huge relief to be able to cross those off the list!

We'll be staying up at my parent's place for a few nights this week to be able to paint the last of the interior, including the sole (floor). We haven't decided yet what to do about flooring, but I want to get the wood sealed before anybody spills oil or something like that on the bare plywood. Putting in flooring is on the list for this next winter or spring in Scotland or Ireland.

As far as the rest of today, it's back to the headliner. We got a couple more sections fitted this week. All that's left now are super hard to get to sections or awkwardly shaped sections. We'll keep plucking away and get it done :)
