(snippage) Taking a
luke warm shower and pumping sink water manually is not exactly a
sacrifice.
Maybe a little too hard core for you guys? Ha!

Still looking at the same sunsets, drinking cold drinks, not smelling like
a goat, etc. as you guys with 300 gallons....


"Ha!" indeed! On Essie, not only do you have to hand-pump the water, but in
the head you also have to hand-pump again to drain the sink. The lengths
some of us go to to avoid one more hole in the hull... lol

Escapade's water tank holds about 48 gallons. With two aboard, ten gallons
per day usage would last us...little more than two days.
