It was like a post zombie apocalypse. I felt like the only person for miles. At one point I went to the marina office to borrow the courtesy rocket, and the one guy working was asleep in his chair. I didn’t have the heart to wake him, so I went back a little later.

Ted

The tanks are aluminum. They weren’t pumped out before I left Annapolis, but I hadn’t used them much while I was there. It’s hard to tell what’s in there since I don’t have a gauge.

No, not you Dave, you're the Real Deal, but if you get tired of tending the toilet and its many failure points, check out an Airhead



Thanks for taking us along on your grand adventure...Dare to Dream!

Nope, you had it right. Only an airhead would embark on such a grand adventure, lol. Thanks for the tip!

By the way, love your short jaunts down the rabbit hole!

Thanks for reading! There really aren’t many disadvantages to doing the work yourself. It saves money, you know it’s done the way you want it, you know the system better... etc. I’d still recommend that route to anyone that asked. The simple fact is... I’m lazy, lol. Most of the time, I have more money than ambition, which only serves to demonstrate how lazy I am, since I sure as hell ain’t rich.
