Here's where the forward tank bladders stand.

We've got hose and fittings.

We've got a lower shelf with some bilge paint.

I've cut the first of three parts of the upper bladder's shelf. (I'll post a picture next week.)

I've measured yet again and discovered that cramming a 24″×26″ bladder into the bottom half of the V-berth tank is going to be difficult. The space is almost large enough, but not really large enough.

The filler elbow at the top of the bladder will be jammed up under the shelf, and we'll never get the full 14 gallons into the lower bladder.

The top 35 gallon bladder should work out acceptably, however. I'm installing supports and shelves as quickly as we can get them cut and painted.

Saturday we painted many things. Sunday it was too rainy, and we didn't go to to Red Ranger to paint shelves. We're making progress, but sometimes it feels like watching paint dry.
