Hi guys!

We're getting closer and closer to being ready to leave Cherbourg. We are both very excited. Not that we haven't enjoyed our time here, I'm just excited to take Athena out and let her spread her wings. I've already started thinking of projects for the winter we'll have in the US, so clearly, I haven't had my fill of DIY fun yet, but a change of pace is going to be exciting :) 

There is potentially good news on the internet connection front. No Starlink is not ready with their boat dishy yet - sigh. I got a tip about a Spanish company called Tiekom that apparently offers a 300 GB data package that includes the full 300 GB for roaming in all of the EU for 40 EUR (42 USD) per month. That is a potential game-changer that could save us a lot of hassle over the next eight months (until we depart the canary islands). I'm ordering a SIM and will, of course, let you know how it turns out. Do any of you have tips/tricks for data SIM cards in the Caribbean? :)

Ava is summoning me to the settee! Tonight is movie night :) I better not make her wait ;) I hope you've had a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe :)

For pushing the needle through? :) The leather came with the holes already made. Except for a couple of holes that weren't all the way through no tools where needed :)

Nice video i too love those grab rails.. Finally scored a Bosch GEX150 Turbo, in Australia there kind of pricey and sort after.. However scored one second hand in great condition on eBay before some else clicked the Buy Now button... Will replace the Rupees sander we lost in a recent flood here in Qld..
