[Public-List] Waste holding tank

[Kris Coward]

Candy Cane (583) has the same plastic-on-liner tank, and the capacity
was almost exactly the right amount to last me the 2 weeks between
pump-outs in my first winters aboard, living alone, and being on the
boat almost all the time. I've since switched to an AirHead on Richard
and Margaret's recommendation, but have held off on removing the tank
until I'm actually doing something that it's getting in the way of.
(I think that Into The Blue's tanks was taken out and the space
repurposed though..)

Cheers,
Kris
