The pilot house bench

After the long sail to Greece, Judy decided that Charlie needed a comfortable bench for the pilot house. Anthimos had a carpenter make the bench(the area used to have the chart table) with storage under the cushions. It is a bit narrow, but perfect for napping and has given us plenty of room for tools, swimming gear, shoes and beach equipment. And, also, it has given the pilot house a homely and comfortable feeling. Charlie has a lot of visitors over the summer and this room has proved its worth. The cushions can be taken out for easy access to the top storage spaces and the bottom drawers when the rope handles are pulled out, become foot rails. Anthimos has managed to create a room that fits in with the original character of Charlie, at 28 years old.
