Next message: Dave Skolnick: "[world-cruising] Re:Water requirements for cruising"
Very subjective question. With 2 aboard and cruising Caribbean in a
boat with high-capacity watermaker, we use 300 liters per week for
drinking, cooking, showers, cleaning (including washing above deck)
plus another 150 liters for washing 3 loads of laundry. Storage
capacity is 1000 liters. Watermaker is rated at minimum 160 liters
per hour but actually produces 175 to 180 liters per hour. This is
luxury but we still conserve usuage when showering and cleaning -- old
habits die hard. Can certainly cruise using less if circumstances
require.
