Talked it over with Irene & if the timing works, we might be able to come up to Powell River to tank-sit for at least part of your vacation. If you can line up someone for Irene to talk to about insurance, heck, she can even write it off as a business expense. If you run out of tank sitters, let me know because I still have several other friends living in the area who might be able to check on the tank for you & call me if there is a problem.
Irene also says its ok that if I can't solve the problem remotely, I can hop a couple of ferries & pop up there for a housecall
On the other hand, she totally understands your predicament because we've never taken off for more than a week since starting sw.
