I'm with you in theory, but in practice its just one more thing to not like about cruising. Its much easier to put in
the _big_ RO watermaker, and not have to complain about how long the shower runs when she is doing her hair.


Every girl wants a man like you. Easy to control!


Also, our 70 gallon tank would only last you 5 days at your rate of consumption, so on our boat you would either have
to stay pretty close to a water tap, or have a good catchment system and only sail in rainy areas if you wanted to get
by without a watermaker.


Don't forget to buy her a dishwasher, washer/drier, and an
ice maker while you're at it. There's a good little boy!
Freaking wimp! There's plenty of hot water at home in the
shower. A boat's a boat - not a floating condo. And if it isn't
a sailboat then it's worthless to begin with.

Cheers,

**** you Ellen. How long have _you_ been married?
For me its been nearly 1/4 century so far and I
like her and she likes me.

I'm not going to tie her to the mast and flog her
if she complains.

Cheerfully,

Don W.
