Hi guys, 

First ... Happy New Year! :) I hope you're all having a super spiffy New Year. Ava and I will spend it aboard Athena. The marina here in Santa Cruz seems a little dead. There are tons of boats but not a lot of people around. =

This video was recorded between December 5th and December 9th. Even though it's only been three weeks, it feels like a long time ago. Maybe because we since then have finally made it to the Canaries. I'm happy to report that the new rotating locking doohickeys on the companionway steps have worked out really well! I used barrel bolts to save a bit of money, but these rotating doohickies are SO much nicer! They don't rattle, and they don't vibrate open. 

We still haven't gotten our hands on a second membrane for the manual watermaker, so I still don't know if it's any good. As I mentioned, I doubt I'd ever want to rely on this manual watermaker for anything other than an emergency device. But it is awesome that there is an affordable manual option available. 

We haven't attempted to make pastel de nata again. It was pretty labor intensive, and until we have mastered the sugar-syrup method, I don't think they're going to be as good as the ones from the store.

We'll be back with a live update in the next couple of days :) Have a fantastic New Year! Be safe, and as always, thank you so much for your support!
