Ditch bag, working shower, propane tank cover (Patreon)

Hi guys!

The items are flying off the to-do list :) We should be ready to leave Cherbourg in a week or so. We're both very excited! 

I'm keeping an eye on the weather forecast. Getting a really good weather window to go to Ireland seems like it might be hard. What could make it easier is if we go to, for instance, Falmouth and break the trip into two legs. It's around 150 NM from here to Falmouth and then 190 NM to Cork, Ireland. Anything but westerlies would be OK for the first leg, and then for the second leg, anything but northwesterly would be OK. Fingers crossed for 24 hours of easterlies followed by 24 hours of southeasterlies ;) I desperately want our first overnight passages to be comfortable - I don't want Ava to have a bad experience!

We have already started shooting next week's video. That's the last of the items on the to-do list before Athena is ready for our first overnight passage. Very exciting! Today's list is replacing the deck organizers, finalizing the rigging for the rodkicker, and making the lines we need to pole out our headsails. I better head up on deck and get on with that :)

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