Good news guys! I think I may just have been gifted a couple of months worth of extra content courtesy of my dear old friend Mr. Wet Plywood! No spoilers but I think you guys might be in for some fiberglass work inside the boat this summer ;) 

All in all, it's been a good weekend. What made it good is the fact that there is now one less "unknown" to worry about. I'll be very relieved once I get the diesel tank out and get a chance to take a thorough look. From there on out it should be smooth sailing ;) Meaning I think I'm aware of all the issues I have to deal with and I don't expect the list to grow. 

In other news: Ava and I are trying to decide whether to have the LA meetup on Sunday, March 18 or March 25. Are any of you guys partial to one or the other? :) 

Oh and one last thing: The quote I mention in the video for a plastic tank is from http://www.hendersons.co.uk/. I'm also going to get a quote from www.tanknologie.de. Do you guys know of any other manufacturer of custom plastic tanks I should contact? :) 

Have an awesome Sunday / Monday guys! :)

The best-laid plans of mice and men ... I was gonna be painting this weekend but I discovered some potential issues.

I'm bound to have found almost all of them by now ;) Stainless stuff: westfieldfasteners.co.uk/ *** Links *** Sail Life on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnPatreon Sail Life on Facebook: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnFacebook Sail Life on Twitter: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnTwitter Sail Life Shop US: (Use this if you want items shipped from the US) https://shop.spreadshirt.com/saillife/ Sail Life Shop EU: (Use this if you want items shipped from Europe) https://shop.spreadshirt.dk/saildotlife/ Donations for the sandpaper fund: https://www.paypal.me/saillife

You are awesome! I love the drawing from Yael! It is beautiful and looks very nice on your bulkhead. BTW I had a 35 gal SS tank made recently and it cost about $1100 (no shipping). Stainless may be more expensive but won't impart any strange taste. You can test the tank you just removed by pitting a small balloon on the vent tube with a rubber band to seal it too the tube, Make up a fixture that lets you put compressed air into the tank through the fill inlet with a valve. Then just put enough air into the tank to fill the balloon by gently opening the valve and then closing the valve. Once the ballon is filled, let it sit for a few hours to see if the ballon deflates. If it does, the tank has a leak. If not, tank is water tight. The balloon keeps the pressure low enough to not destroy the tank.
