Future water tanks

I've just cleaned these drums & will be using them in the future as water tanks. As I need ballast in the boat they should be a great help...

With the tank that I have, plus these eight, I will have 1160 liters of fresh water available onboard! 

Winter approaching!

Lifted the boat out on Monday, the hull was jetwashed and I flushed the engine through with a 50/50 mix of glycol/water. Batteries are out and everything is ready for the winter, I re-sealed the wheelhouse windows with silicone & i'll be working on the boat through the winter as I have my little generator to supply power. Bad news was that the marina don't allow blasting of the hull so i'll need a springtime haulout or dress it up & repaint it for one more year then next winter put it in a marina which will allow blasting.....
