Pay attention John

I blew it. I finished yesterday knowing we were in for a bit of a blow with some snow and wind and, by Wednesday morning, bitter cold, like below zero. So I went to bed planning to dump tanks, then go into Socorro for supplies today.

Right. It's in the low twenties this morning, the water spigots are frozen, my gray water dump valve is frozen. But Eureka! the crucial valve on the black water tank is not frozen. That tank was nearly full but is empty now! Phew!

More later - I gotta go.

[Later] The gray tank dump valve thawed and I was able to dump. No luck with the fresh water spigot though. I have a few days fresh water aboard but not too many. This could get interesting...
