It's done! The engine is out - yay! AND so is the diesel tank... in two pieces - doh! The guy that designed the tank made it about 1 cm too wide to be able to get out of the engine compartment. I'm sure I'll make some unfortunate decisions during the refit, but at least I'll only have myself to blame for those ;) 

In other news: on March 18 there will be a meet up for the channel somewhere in/around LA. I hope I'll get to meet some of you guys face to face :) I haven't figured out the location yet but as soon as I do I'll let you know :) 

I'm heading out to take Jökull for a much-deserved walk. I hope you've all had an awesome weekend :)

Yes gotta say my back started to twitch when I saw you tugging on that diesel tank. Could you give us a quick view of its innerds, showing the baffle and how it’s designed? Given that fuel cleanliness is so important to injector function, are you considering any mods to the new tank that will make cleaning the tank easier?

Happy Birthday M​ads! I know it is a day late across the pond, please forgive me. I just watched your video about costs from November again and I will say I totally understand why you want to fix up an old boat instead of buying a new one. There is something of a personal connection that you can't get with just buying something. While I don't have a youtube channel I do understand how much work it takes to actually take on such a large project while filming it at the same time and I can't tell you enough how impressed I am with the quality of your work and your videos. I also understand the frustration and dejection you feel from all of the negative comments. I am struggling with that at the moment myself. I can only say try not to let it get to you. You are doing a superb job. Your dedicaiton​ and craftsmanship are second to none!
