All the other cushions. So many cushions.

The v-berth cushion was probably the most difficult one we had to do. And I say "probably" because I didn't actually help with the other cushions. Oops. However since they were smaller, and more or less rectangular, I feel like I didn't mess Brian up too much by him having to do them alone.

Here is the view below deck. On the left side you can see the dining room, that wooden piece in the middle there gets propped up and turns into a table, or you can keep it down and use it as a spacious twin bed for two.

That's not duct tape we're using to hold the companionway tarp hatch in place. It's a special boating tape. *ahem*
On the right, behind the special boating tape, is this area:

Under the one by the sink is some sort of cooler space.
So total, there are at least four decent sized cushions, and possibly one or two more (I am confused about what is happening with the table, but I'll get to that in a minute). The longer chushions went in easily, and I think this will be a good auxilary bed place if we ever have a third person on board overnight. However since the cushion is not that long, they'd probably have to sleep in sleeping bag unless they were cool with their legs flopping all over willy nilly.


When we took Oliver down later, he wasn't too sure about this boat thing until I put his gross old bed blanket on this one and bam- he's claimed it for himself.

DIS IS MAH BED!

Now if I may direct your attention to the port side of the cabin, behold the dining room. We are like, 75% sure that this is how the cushions go. The one at the top of the pic fits there for sure, and the bottom one, kind of fits? The puzzle to me is why there are two cushions that seem to fit on the table, which velcro together. 


The tentative plan here I believe is to stuff the seat cushions and just kind of shrug at each other and hope the table cushion issue resolves itself. That, or I will take some measurements and make us one custom cushion to cover the table, then wrap the whole thing in something like a twin-sized fitted sheet to keep them all from sliding around.

Next post, putting it in the water!
