Bye bye Gosport, hello door handle! (Patreon)

Hi Guys!
In this week's video, we're getting ready to leave the UK. In real life, we made it to France two days ago. I wanted to have the video done before leaving the UK because I was unsure if we could upload it from France. I knew they had internet in Frace ;) I wasn't sure if the marina WiFi would be okay or how long it would take us to find a data SIM card for the boat. The marina WiFi is decent (not great), and we have yet to find a pay-as-you-go SIM card with a good amount of data (+200Gb). Hopefully, we can sort the SIM card issue next week :)
We had a lot of fun visiting Cadoha in Southampton. Seeing their boat in real life was a lot of fun. We had already been aboard earlier this winter, but this was the first time we saw it in daylight. Besides hanging out with the crew, I enjoyed seeing the different layout. I've only been aboard three other Warrior 38/40 boats, but I've looked at a ton of them online. I believe the layout aboard Cadoha is unique. There are aspects in the layout of both boats I like. As with so many aspects of boats, there is no one-and-only solution that will fit everyone. During the refit of Athena, we seriously considered stealing the layout in Cadoha's forward cabin, but it makes the bunk rather small compared to the v-berth solution. Getting out of our v-berth is not the most gracious maneuver for me as it requires flipping around in bed before scooting out, but I think the v-berth is a better setup for Ava and me.
The door handle was a huge improvement when crossing to France! It works perfectly, and not having to worry about the tape is nice! Maybe we should have installed the door handle sooner ;) But finding a good door handle was surprisingly difficult.
On the to-do list for next week is the cooker hood from Dometic and finally getting our windlass hooked up (so far, we have only been able to use it manually).
We're off to find a Frech baguette for lunch (when in Rome and so on...). I hope you're having a fantastic weekend :) Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe :)
