Water Storage/Ballast

When Dave's Dad came up a couple of weeks ago he brought with him 2 55 gallon plastic soy sauce drums for extra water storage on the SHAD.  Yesterday I filled them up with water in the hopes that the additional 800lbs of weight on the starboard side would help even out the list we have.  We're still listing due to the starboard fuel tank being empty.  I didn't really notice a difference in the list.  The drums are going to come in very handy on our long weekends out at Taku Harbor.  This brings us up to around 230 gallons of water.  YAY!!
