Dear Salty Sailor, Fresh water is one of the most precious resources we carry on our sailboat, and access to it can be critical in remote locations. We decided to install a water maker to 'produce' our own fresh water, and we couldn't be happier. Of course, it gave us some challenges (what part of the boat doesn't, right? xD), but overall, it's been a huge win. You can check out the entire installation process on our channel. Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Fortuna
