[PUP] Passagemaking report

[Ross Anderson]

John, glad all is well. You are right on bigger tanks. Because of the
hull design of the Duck and need for more fuel tankage only have 300
gals. with H2o maker as backup. This works OK until certain guests
want a shower more than once a week on passages! Yes, then there is
the washer/dryer another water gobbler and then the ice maker and
then... We find the engine room a good dryer and who needs ice anyway!
See you in AK 2010 where there is no charge for water. Safe travels.
God Bless - Ross
