      The cabin door on PILGRIM has a curtain that snaps into place. Decided, like a feral cat, to mark my territory.

                                That's awesome! Two things I noticed: The incredible amount of room in the compartment including the head room and I like the camera mounted so you can keep an eye on the area when you're underway. That's pretty smart!!

                                  Headroom is brilliant, I have to dip my head a tad, but really just a tad....

                                  The camera is a cock-up. I ordered it, then decided that I would prefer an Infra Red camera in there, so deleted it from the spec, with a view to retrofitting an IR. Obviously, a lost-in-translation moment, I'm hoping they say, "oh fuck it, you may as well keep it"........:hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed:

                                        I was wondering about the anti fouling. Is that the last thing they put on prior to launch?

                                          I'm guessing so. I did not specifically ask that question, but we did discuss how much prettier she will look when the anti-fouling is applied.....
