Water Tank Repair On Our Endeavour Sailboat | Sailboat Story 79

In this vlog, I repair the water tank aboard our Endeavour sailboat. After hurricane Irma, I noticed flakes of weird stuff are floating in our drinking water. SOLUTION: Reseal the inside of our water tank with epoxy. Simple, right? BwAHHahhAhahAhahAHHAAA!!!! Never. It just doesn't happen like that with boat projects. It's way more interesting when the water tank lid won't come off because it was installed with 3M 5200. That way you have to completely destroy the lid in order to access the water tank. YIPPEEE!!! Once you finally gain access to the tank's interior, it's covered in weird brown stuff that requires hours of laborious sanding to remove. WHAHOOO!!! It sure does feel good though once the work is done and the tank is freshly resealed in 2 coats of food-grade epoxy. JOB DONE!!! Oh... no not quite... now you've got to fabricate an entire new lid cuz you wrecked the original one, REMEMBER!??! The fun never ends... not even when my exposed, sweat-drenched skin is covered in grayish-brownish water tank dust which gives my epidermis an unnatural tone that is reminiscent of a near-dead ET that Elliot just found in the river.
