A new year and a new plan

Sanding is almost completed in the V-berth and the saloon so painting can be done when the weather is  a bit warmer.  Really not much to show in the way of pictures.

I've re-worked the design for the the head and the cockpit seats half a dozen times, and I think I'm finally satisfied.  The plan is to remove the existing chart table (with cooler below) entirely along with the quarter berth.  The head will begin at the aft end of the cabin and run forward and take up about 1' of the chart table area, leaving about 30" for a 12volt refrigerator/freezer with a flat top counter above in place of the large chart table.  This will give me enough room in the head for a stand up shower and since we have the chart plotter along with the laptop and digital charts, the paper charts can be folded in half and still fit on the counter.  Also, the chart books we have for the Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound will fit nicely within the 30" counter space.
With such a narrow cabin, it's difficult to make anything work really well, but I'm sure this will be a huge improvement over the current head.

Once the head has been relocated, I'll just extend the galley counter aft to the back of the cabin.  This will give us an additional 20" of working counter space for food prep; right now there is only the 13" above the drawers that's really inadequate.
