After yesterday's fix of the small drip/leaks, the tank hasn't missed a beat all day today. After breakfast and opening a couple of presents (Elaine and I decided to make this a very simple Christmas) I added some additional structural support for the stand because Elaine was concerned... and it's probably a good thing.
Then I started tuning the drains. I made the durso and emergency drains 2" taller and now the water level behind the overflow wall is just half an inch lower than the water in the tank. It's actually the quietest tank I've ever owned. It absolutely scary quiet!
BTW, my big Christmas present was a book. It's "The Cruising Guide to the Virgin Islands". This was Elaine's way of letting me know that she is willing to do the Road Scholar 10 day trip to the BVI. Eight days of sailing on a luxury 45' catamaran and 6 of those days include a snorkel stop! Yea!!! ;Joyful ;Woot
