Propane Locker and Black Pearl

I have pictures of the propane locker on my website: sailingBlackPearl.com. Restoration is moving ahead. The topsides are now done and the interior is getting fresh paint and varnish. Besides the two refurbished fuel tanks I added another 35 gallons to the port locker. It takes up very little space.
I am sailing on thunderhead, May 1st from Antigua to Bermuda. Visit the website at: oncearound.org. I am also getting to race in the Classic Yatch regatta in Antigua in late April.

I see you got rid of the "manhole" in the cockpit, no more scoarched feet. What did you put in for an engine?

Propane

The new propane tank is hooked up on Black Pearl. The only problem is that to meet code it has to be a tank that can lie down sideways. It is also aluminum. I will have a spare on deck if needed for longer trips but the tank can be filled anywhere.
