I think we may need to turn the boat so that the starboard side faces
south. That way there might be enough light to get some depth of field.
Right now the pictures look like photos of the Loch Ness monster. (Now
that I think of it, the Loch Ness monster photos may actually *be* the
inside of a Baba 30 plumbing cabinet!)

The only real divergence from the schematic was a jog to get around the
sink drain line. (This is one of those "kill the P.O." things.) If you
print the schematic and fold it in half about where the through-hull is,
you'll have a really good idea of how it all goes together. I'll see if
I can't get some photos to make it clearer.

On a serious note, we found a couple of stainless steel fittings in the
system. These were all very corroded - one to the point of leaking. I
don't know if these came from Ta Shing or from a P.O., but everyone
should check their boats for them. What a stupid thing to have in a
septic system!! The uric acid eats it like candy.

Oh, yeah! Like finding a space-time anomaly under the sink isn't
mysterious!
