Glenn, I think the Southern accent is showing!!!

Hummm, sailors watching other sailors in the shower. In the Army we
always suspected something like that about the Navy.

Too bad the Army didn't watch their people a little more closely.
Then there wouldn't have been Moslem traitors in their ranks.....eh?

As to the Navy....Don't ask, don't tell....just like the Army....(c;

I have 150 gallons and with 5 people (2 teen girls) we can go 3 nights
with about 30 gallons left in the hole. That's about 5 gallons per
shower + dishes and the occasional rinse after coming up from diving.
That does NOT include washing the boat. At home they use 10X that amount
for the same tasks.

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?

wanna tell her to take a "boat shower"? Go ahead...I'll watch!

I take LONG LONG showers at home. I don't when I'm on a boat. I just
don't.

I don't even take long showers in the marinas. I really prefer to
shower on the boat, but we usually have stuff in the shower so it's
not as convenient.

My second choice after our own boat (which does carry 400 gallons of
water so it's not like we have to conserve much even in the Bahamas
although we do) is to swim and then shower on deck (assuming warm
weather). We have a pressure fresh water connection on deck, and it
doesn't need to be hot water in warm weather. I wear a bathing suit
if there are people around for fear of striking them blind.


What I'm trying to avoid is the stampede to the coin showers every time we
get to a dock. And the "luxury" of standing under a hot (or sometimes
cool) shower for several minutes is a large part of it.

Coin showers? Where are you?

Pacific Northwest. If your real lucky you find one with a broken coin
drop that just works. Second best is finding one that will take one
quarter at a time, or less than the full $2.00 worth of quarters.
