Or bring a reverse-osmosis lever-operated watermaker. I had one of these
aboard our cruising sailboat, Kibitka. It was electric-operated with a
manual backup. I forget how many strokes it took to make a glass of water
but you won't need to take any books along to fill up your spare time.

But seriously, has anyone taken one of these along on a trip?
