"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.


I suppose that is why some people pay the $$ for a
watermaker. Our Irwin 38 only has a 70 gallon
tank. You think that's bad? The holding tank is
only 8 gallons.

where to put all the additional tanks.
