Tortola Island Water

So much water all around. The water people drink here is desalinated, because there isn't enough available on the island. Just like on the ship- we also drink desalinated water. Since we got a powerful enough desalinator we don't take on drinking water from shore anymore, we produce it all ourselves. It made a tremendous difference in the health of the crew, we are getting less sick with stomach ailments. Sometimes we collect rainwater- for washing clothes, and in Itaparica, Salvador we filled at least a tank with their special well water. Still now we may have some vintage South Atlantic water left...I like the taste of it, especially after adding a drop of lemon juice.

Here in Tortola I also saw drinking water dispensers- it's desalinated water that is further processed and sold by the gallon in public dispensing machines.
