“two weeks for all water/sewage plants”

Extremely unlikely to happen. Definitions of what constitutes the water supply, the cost of fuels, mechanical breakdown, etc. all say you’ve got but a few days at best.

Where do you keep your sailboat? Desalinators will foul with any petroleum contamination. Just about any inshore water will have some fuel skim. You’ll want to be careful how you collect your seawater.

We have been living aboard for more than 20 years. Cruising the North Pacific from Hawaii to Alaska for the past 7 years. We only use the watermaker in the open sea or in secluded, remote anchorages.

You’re probably right. I was just stating something I had read about the Texas law. I don’t even know if the law is a reality.

As our favorite asshole said, “What difference does it make.”

They are calling for tornadoes in the Ohio Valley this Thursday night. Our town gets hit by one about every two years, and it has been just over that since the last one struck.

Thanks for the recipe! Would black board chalk serve as the chalk ingredient?

Chalk is chalk as far as I know. Low grade carpenter / surveyor chalk is what I had in mind.
