Subject: No Man Is An Island But Our Boat Is! Part 3
Since we have a reverse osmosis system (aka water maker) we don’t need to go to a dock to fill our water tanks. I was very leery about desalinated water – really very leery. I thought that we would just use it only for washing and not drink it. While on the dock at Boot Key Harbor I met a man from Point Pleasant, NJ (no less). During the conversation he mentioned that he worked for the water department at Ft. Dix. So I asked him about the desalinated water systems – he said that it works great! He said that the armed forces use reverse osmosis systems extensively for drinking! He has a system on his boat! After mentioning the system we had – he volunteered that your system is much better than mine! So drink up! Well I thought I would give the reverse osmosis water a try! I was very surprised that it is crystal clear! We conducted our own taste test using 2 identical glasses (yes I had to 'barrow ' form a restaurant) 2 glasses (OK 2 small brandy snifters) for this test since we only have plastic glasses on the boat! We each took a turn filling one glass with the bottled water and the other the desalinated water and then the other would drink it. Neither Captain Steve nor I could tell the difference! Can you tell the difference????
Sea u later!
