Nearly there

The admiralty are making disaproving grumbalings over the length of time and rising costs and additional extra the holding tank job are proving. Doing things for real, is never how you imagined it to be. Yes extra jobs (insulating forepeak and fixing the vanity heads cupboards) get noticed and picked up to make the big job all the more worth while, as the place is deconstructed might as well make the most of it and do the extra mile that will never get done if its not done now. The added benefit of going the whole distance is you get to the bottom of it. Like the heads had too short an out pipe it was not routed high enough and had no antisyphon valve to provent flooding the boat, to fit one even find this out would not happen without a full deconstruction. Anyway this week will have been full 5 days effort on boat! Having missed my allocated two days a week on boat in the last week i am still 'due' A DAY. So screw the admiralty they never get there hands dirty anyway (well ok they do sometimes but is the kind of show willing unskilled kind (not in a committed to find out how to do the job right kind of way (more just a display) (well so my effort is just a display too)))so what do they know about getting the job done right anyway!

The admiralty are not that interested in the finer details of constructing a tank that holds three days worth of a whole families shit! Know idea why, when they are suppose to be aspiring to being so eco. Putting to much nutrients (human shit) into the delicate coastal ecosystem is not good, the science tells us not to do it. Well i am loving this job it will be most satisfying to relieve ones self in the most beautiful locations non holding tank boat can not in with a clean conscious. Puerile, i know!

Anyway, this is where i was yestarday, this is the lay out to all the plumbing on top of the tank, carefully thought out to be serviceable and to get all four pipe through a small hole in the bulkhead and to the various places. There is the big shit pump to empty the tank when out offshore, with its lined up 38mm 90 deg bend, next to it is the 38mm pump out to the waste deck fitting to EU standard to be pumped out by water ways authorities, the big round see through inspection hatch to get access for dirty jobs should they arise, goimg anti clockwise the next 38mm 90 deg pipe connection for the shit going in, the wee 90 is the breather pipe to allow air in to aid helpful anaerobic bacteria and let air in when the tank is emptied, it breather end will be fed to the bulk head of anchor locker, finding a very excuse to keep the anchor locker drain holes from blocking. Dear reader you do indulge me so.
