Hi All:

Help me out here. Why do I need a preasure water system for my
drinking/galley water.

For that matter why a water heater? Yea I know to have hot water. So
why need hot water?

You don't need either but you (or others) may want them.

Personally, I enjoy dropping the hook after a long sail and taking a
nice hot shower before hitting the sack.

YMMV

Because it came with the boat and now I've been softened, corrupted.
Gosh, it was so much fun to be hunched naked over a bucket of tipid
water in the cockpit on a cool Maine morning with a sponge. A proper
hot shower is sort of like GPS, it takes all the fun and charm out of
cruising but, once you've tried it, you can't give it up.

Besides, it's so much fun to see the faces of visitors when I say,
"Look, hot running water!"

it is obvious that "Bob" doesn't cruise with Ladies...... WomenFolk
demand water, and Hot water is what "Bob will be in, if he tries to
cruise around a lot, with women aboard, and no running water.......

I gave up on "ladies" a long time ago. I prefer women now.
You know the ones..... ex peace corps volunteers with harry arm pits
and a passion for adventure.

But I do agree, ot water is ablessing in anything up from N38.
