Holding Tank Photos

First, we had to empty the old holding tank.  To do that we had to go to the pump out station.  To do THAT we had to get the dredger to move so we could GET to the pump out station.  We couldn't get them on the VHF so we drove over there and just started honking at them until they noticed us.  I think we woke up a guy on one of the end ties.  He came out on deck in his robe and slippers.  Oops.  Well he can't have been sleeping too well with the sound of the dreding going on!

Almost all hooked up! 

All in all it wasn't really that bad of a project.  It was fairly accessible, which helped a lot!  We only had to go to our house and two stores to get all the pieces and parts we needed and only a small amount of blood was lost in injuries.  The seemingly wet ceiling tiles seemed fine this day so I did not investigate that.  We spent five days on the boat for Thanksgiving and didn't fill up the tank!
