you can add fresh water to dilute it a bit. mostly you can use is for
spaghetti and seafood.
Washing dishes, washing decks, washing everything. If youre in real dire
solution, you can even go beyond rinsing with fresh water(although this is
kinda cheap) and instead after you bathe in salt water dry yourself really
quickly with a towel, it will prevent you from being all sticky.
Someone suggested that water is cheap in the caribean, this is true but it
has its disadvantages. Most americans cant drink water from other
places...My suggestion is you keep a few tanks run on the good water and
filled up with water youre sure you can drink and maybe rain. The others
could be the"dirty" tanks and fill them with water in any port, use those to
wash things. A water maker is really only usefull for cruisers unless you
have the money for it and dont care.

what uses have you found for sea water on your boat, especially on
longer cruises? do you cook with it? if so, what dishes? does anyone
boil or steam veges in it? do people bathe with salt water? Any other
interesting uses you've been able to come up with?

Thanks
