Captain's Chair


I left Baltimore on Sunday, heading for Deltaville. As a going away present, Matt gave me a 50 gallon water tank and a twelve volt tv. Thanks Matt! I'm not sure how useful the tv will be with the conversion to digital tv, but I'm pretty excited about the tank. I'll use it either as a gas tank, if the plastic is compatible with petroleum, or as a poo tank. My present holding tank is pathetically small, and has been known to fill quickly and overflow with guests aboard. Yuck.

I just need to figure out how to get the tank into the boat. It's pretty big and won't fit through the hatches. I'll have to disassemble some of the cabin woodwork to get it through the head and into the storage locker. Meanwhile, the tank is proving useful as a captain's chair.
