| When up, this mirror’s positioned perfectly to monitor the cabin’s control panel switches from the cockpit, a happy accident. |
When we met with former Journey owners, Ned and Cath (click here for more about that), one of the biggest surprises was how many cool pullout conveniences that we thought were a Pearson trim kit, were Ned’s additions. All are built in beautifully finished cherry. Ned’s great woodworker, with even better sensibility on how to make a boat more livable. His much welcome additions include:
- Framed mirror with extra canned good storage inside that converts to a dining drop-down table.
- Fiddled foldout tv-tray-like pop-up table with 2 cup holders; great for holding smaller laptops.
- Bookcase with sliders, alternating between easy access and secure holding of the bookcase’s contents.
- Companionway hatch board case integrated uner the nav table, with Journey’s name embedded on the case cover.
- “Surprise!” Look for an article in September 2013’s Cruising World for more about that (link forthcoming upon publication).
Thanks, Ned!

| Eating, drinking or using his laptop, this is Wayne’s favorite spot in Journey’s cabin, thanks to Ned’s handiwork. |
 |
| When not in use; this table hinges flat against the fridge back / settee side wall. Note Wayne added a 12-volt DC outlet next to it for more efficient PC power use. |

| Storage under companionway ladder; closes securely when not needed. |

The bookcase is to the right of where the main mast comes through the cabin. It’s a great place for storing watches and necklaces, as well as my favorite cookbook, “Moosewood Restaurant New Classics.” |

The bookcase is to the left of the pop-down dining table. |

| Just a few feet away from where they’re needed, Ned built this nifty companion hatch board case tucked under the nav table and out of the way. |
Great wood work & great additions !
