At some point, hopefully in the near future, we'll have the power to get the 
galley back in operation and be able to cook on the boat as well as sleep on it, 
as we're doing now during work weekends.
We have the heads back in limited operation and most of the water working 
again. Soon we'll be able to pump the sanitary (holding) tanks into the sewage 
line on the pier and then we'll be in full operation. Taylor donated a working 
ice cream machine similar to what was originally there, so now we have ice 
cream on weekends as well.
Gilbert Bohannon runs the site and does an amazing amount of volunteer work 
and organizing. We couldn't do it without him; and the many other regular 
volunteers who are there almost every weekend. If you're going to be in the 
area, email him and let him know, and he'll probably be able to arrange the 
inside tour, beyond where the tourists normally go.

The next work weekend is Sept. 28-30; we can use all the help we get. Email 
Gilbert at the website if you're planning to come, we sleep on the boat and on 
the other two museum boats there and eat most meals on the other boats as 
well. 

I hope to see some of you there; as well as helping a good cause, it's a great 
way to get a great look at good solid submarine technology from the bilges up.
