It's been a wonderfull weekend aboard Athena! I got to install my new Eno Open Sea stove and do a bit of prepping for rewiring the AC. 

Today I've shot the first 7 minutes of a video I plan on publishing in two weeks while I'm in New York. It'll be a short video about the upcoming projects this summer and the cost of the refit so far. I figured it would make an excellent substitute for a "real" video. Especially considering the alternative would be no video at all ;) 

That reminds me. Are any of you guys going to swing by the meet-up? :) 

Have an awesome Sunday! I'll see you next weekend :)

I like your 12V future proof socket idea! Just make sure your sockets are deep enough. I know that some cars have really shallow 12V sockets which makes the USB chargers pop out by them selves all the times.

Okean Solutions, Inc.

We're removing our 12v sockets in favor of specific usb outlets. The reason is very simple - we have seen way too many adapters burn up. The problem is that most adapters (even the very expensive ones) don't know what to do with anything greater than 12-12.2. If your electrical system sits at 12.4, your adapter goes boom. If you start charging, the house system will go up much higher. Your adapter goes boom faster. We have bought the USB adapters and now everything (and everyone) is happy. It's much cheaper to buy a specialized unit for usb 2/3/whatever, than to continually burn through misc 12v->5v adapters of unknown quality/capability.
