Default washing fruits and vegetables

We are going to Central America. Local fruits and vegetables may be
contaminated. What do we wash them with (e.g., 1 gal desalinated water
with 1 tbsp clorox)?


Besides what you've been told (good advice), make sure you put all your
produce in a net sort of carrying thing. Then dip the produce into the
ocean BEFORE bringing aboard (unless your anchorage is badly polluted).

This will cause vermin to drown or flee your produce. It's bad enough
how roaches can come aboard hiding in your clothes WHILE YOU WEAR THEM.
One load of fruit can infest your boat if you aren't careful.
