Here they are, fresh bits hot from the camera -

Photo 1 - The normal v-berth without the extension.  You can just see 
the seam where the aft section lifts off for access to what was the 
water tank compartment.  It's now just a large storage compartment.

Photo 2 - This is the plywood extension.  Notice the fingers cut in 
the edge that will fit into the slots you see underneath.

Photo 3 - This is a nylon block screwed into the compression 
post.  The head of the extension board will rest on this block when in place.

Photo 4 - Here you see the extension in place, without the 
cushion.  Notice that it takes up most of the space where the 
porta-potti was, which is why we move it into the main cabin for the night.

Photo 5 - The finished extension with cushion in place.  This yields 
a space about 7.5 feet from head to toe.  It's comfortable for two, 
but as I mentioned earlier, the starboard-side occupant has to be 
pretty agile to get out over the port-side occupant.  And the 
port-side occupant cannot be very, uh... large of frame or there is 
no escape ;-)

Cheers!
