At 50 cents/gallon the first instruction I give to new crew on a charter
is how to use the shower. It is not like a lubber's shower. There
should be a button on the shower head to turn the water on and off.
Adjust the tepnerature and wet down. Then turn off the water while you
soap up and turn it on again to rense. Anyone using more than a couple
of gallons will be tied to that big hemp hauser next time we clean
bottom and keel hauled!

Hi,

Far Cove is set up for a shower, but was never installed. I was looking
at "low-flow" showerheads, and they say they use 2.5gpm. Egad - for a
5-min shower that's over 10 gallons! Far Cove has 50gal of water, and I'm
thinking of addding another 20gal tank, but still: 10 gals per shower??

Is this realistic? What is a practical estimate of how much water an
on-board shower will take?
