More Interior Storage

From John Holscher in RI:

A great mid-winter project:

I decided this winter’s project would be to clean up the cabin and make more storage space for all of the stuff that one needs when setting out on even the shortest adventure.
First, the head had to go! Its placement made it near impossible to access anything ahead of the forward bulkhead. I never used the damn thing anyhow. So out it went along with the plumbing and storage bag which also ate up a lot of potential storage space under the port berth. In its place I made a removeable shelf/seat platform. 
Next I made another access point in the port berth forward of the aft bulkhead where the bag used to live which now opens up the whole port side berth area for storage and then made up two new caps for the top of the vertical berth panels. 
The last bit of construction was a 20″ wide cabinet with a drawer and shelf atop the starboard berth attached to the aft bulkhead.
All that done it was time for a fresh coat of George Kirby’s Sand color topside paint to replace the glaring white that was just too white no matter what time of day.
Now I’ll hopefully have room to sit in the cabin without having to compete with all of the stuff I’ve brought along.
