Len, I'm all for redundancy but, for the life of me, I can't figure
why, with all the money you seem to be shelling out (based on other
post) you wouldn't have a the 06 RO watermaker. They are relatively
cheap and they work in the dark, in rough conditions - not unusual
in a life raft - and on cloudy days.
While the 06 takes a fair amount of effort, believe me deploying and
working that solar still will take more effort that one might
think. The solar still seems great if one intends to spend all
one's time in the tropics and one is sure that he/she will not be
spending any length of time in the raft, in rough conditions.
May none of us ever have to use our survival gear in other than test
conditions,
