Well,I kind of like Clark!! We used to land our fish at the same dock in Sausalito years ago.My first fishing cat was from a litter his cat had.Spent lots of time fishing the same areas and crossing tacks with him!Next
the
pump is a marvel of 12 yeara of trial and error by a pretty damn good engineer
out of UC Berkeley.If its as good as his boat its a teal winner.He had absolutely the
best hull shape in steel and put the right "stuff" on it when building so twenty
years later there was still no RUST ANYWHERE!!For a very well used Coml'' Boat that says alot about how to do it right!!
Realizing your on a 6 mo.trip I''d probably try to find a good usrd Pur 35. Gary Albers
seems to think one that''s been factory upgraded is as good as it gets!The Marine division of Pur has changed hands twice since
I bought mine so I''m not up to snuff on their service.We used ours at least every
other day for 18months.serviced it, pickled
it and have tested it every six mo.and re-pickled it.Remember for every gallon of water produced you must dispose of 15 gallons of so called waste water.I mounted
mine alongside my daggerboard trunk,put the
prefilter just below the water
line to cut down the energy usage.Plumbed my discharge to the daggerboard;above the waterline.My good water supply goes into a 3 gallon s/s
milk bucket.I test it,then drink it after I visually inspect it then and only then does it go into the tank.
If your only going for 6mo. you should seriously consider a good rain catching system.In a very short time a good system
you can catch all the water you need.We will
finde out in April when we go to the Bahamas
ourselves but I''ve read in Cruising Coast and Islands: the rag Tom & Mel Neale and the girls put out,that times are changing and though you have to pay for water its now mostly RO water.Hope this is helpful!!
