Sail Life – Insulating the v-berth, part 9
Finally guys! I'm done insulating the v-berth. It's been a lot of work, and I certainly hope I'll be a noticeable difference in how comfortable the v-berth is this winter. This will be my first winter living full-time aboard the boat, but I do have my two ...

The old mattress in the v-berth aboard Obelix is the original mattress from 1973... yup, it's 42 years old! It's worn out and not at all comfortable to sleep on. It's got to go before I move aboard the boat :) Sailrite video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Painting the vertical "stringers". Things are starting to shape up! I have no doubt I'll be nice and toasty up in my v-berth this winter. Fingers crossed the house will sell soon so I can move aboard the boat!

I get to finally turn on my brand new Isotherm cooling system. Having a "fridge" aboard instead of just an icebox is going to make living aboard the boat so much more comfortable. With a bit of luck part 3 should be up tomorrow :)
