Propane… One tank still going strong

We have one small propane tank on Airborne that feeds our two burner stove. We’ve been using our small one gallon tank now since September and haven’t needed to refill. We should make out through the new year before we run out and need to take it to refill. Maybe by then we’ll be moving on the new boat!

Pump Out Day

Saturday or Sunday we take the boat out of the slip and motor down to the pump out dock to empty the waste tank aboard Airborne. Its one of the least glamourous tasks we do regularly as liveaboards, but very necessary. After we emptied out we motored out to the bay to see what was going on. On the way out we saw a big ship emptying its load of cars and folks fishing at the park, from kayaks and litte power boats.
