If you ever did anything but hang out here and post
inane thoughts you might realize that when I get
settled down in a nice, quiet, snug anchorage after
a day's cruising be it in the Bahamas, the Keys
or anywhere along the U.S. Gulf and East Coasts it's
these noisy idiots who come in and anchor right on
top of me that causes me to make valid observations
about them and the pathetic, self-centered nature
of their lubberly actions.

I'd agree with you totally. There is nothing worse than people running
generators or main motors to make electricity. But you can still run a
watermaker on 12v - the Katadyn 40E makes 15l/hour on 12v/5A and the Livol
makes 30l/hour on 12v/8A, both of which can therefore easily be powered by
solar and fan.
