we didn't quite make it off the dock
this week due to some bad weather but it
gave us some extra time to wrap up some
are lingering projects all right so
today fisher is going to be cleaning out
the starboard side fuel tanks have you
gotten the cover off yet
and working on that for a while buddy so
the first step to cleaning out the tanks
is we have to remove this floor panel
and then we have to remove the cap we
have to remove the cover plate take out
all the old seal flush out all the old
diesel fuel clean it vacuum it all out
same thing we did on the port side or
that I did but this is Fisher's task and
he doesn't seem to be progressing very
quickly that little knob he's playing
with it's supposed to come up Fisher you
got to pull it up buddy you got to pull
it up just like that okay
yeah he's taking this time I think we'll
get there another task was to replace
the roller Furler which allows you to
stow and deploy the headsail after we
purchased by you we realized ours was
broken so we've never had a chance to
fly the jib I had to climb the mast to
remove the old components get a
replacement part machined and then
reinstall the assembly back on deck all
right well it all fits together but uh
it doesn't go past this point so that
means I get to take it all apart put it
back together again pretty much
everything you do on a boat is like that
um I have to install have to take out
this old
I'll take hose which has some old man's
poop on it still and then I got to put
the hose up the whole system with the
vented loop and the Y valves and
everything when we get to Texas you love
you let's have it unless the bended loop
is an anti spicing thing you have to
come out here it keeps the toilet there
was a discharge tank aka the poo water
from siphoning into the toilet bowl and
overflowing into our homes I'm thinking
it
Thank You Nikki I'm glad you're not
getting your shirt dirty yeah or your
pants I guess
well those do Oliver but we're going to
underway from now on so kissable good
idea people are closing because we don't
have a washing machine and a dryer well
soon we'll have our central heat and air
going so that's good

tank

even opened the hatch cover yet

Oh what well go get it that's what well
this is pretty cute Fisher wanted to
look out the porthole so he's holding
himself up now what do you see captain
