Speaking of "survival", does anyone have any info on distilling fresh from salt? I saw a website of a fellow who did it at the rate of one part fuel to one part freshwater distilled, not too effecient and no details as to how it was done. Or perhaps solar stills? I'm thinking of situations where one could become beach-bound by weather long enough to threaten on-board water supplies. Not to mention something to satisfy that natural (male) need to "tinker" with something (we never do grow up). I'll pass on the watermakers. They are heavy, expensive, power-hogs for luxury cruisers. A friend has one (which he loves) but he also has big bucks and a 40' sailboat.
