Scuba Compressor – Grey Water Pump – And Pre Launch Activity
Rafe got the scuba compressor running. Clint installed bigger and better grey water pumps. Page fancied up the Octopus for the Aug 21st launch party. Kyle got the mast ready to step with the crane. And I registered my home built ship as “Private Trailer” so the Oklahoma Department of Size and Weight can issue the transport permits.
