Pee Water
The tap water in Lauderdale looks like pee. You would think someone before you had forgotten to flush the freakin toilet. But it comes from the Everglades, we are told. As though that means something. Like it's because of the alligators and possums?
No Lauderdale pee tap water is going in Platina's delicate water tank. So we set to sea today to make water. The forecast was for no wind and light seas. The light seas prevailed, but the wind picked up to 15 knots. It was an amazing sail. One of those where you just trip into a trance.
450 litres of clean no-pee water later, we returned to the dock. A beautiful day, a beautiful sail, and clear, clean water! Who could ask for a better day?!
