I think you're reading too much into that.

Which means moderators should probably stop this thread immediately and delete the entire thing or more importantly all posts mentioning these two women.

It's the very least we can do for the good captain.

I'd love to see what the crew member will be posting on her Facebook page about this trip. I bet she kissed the ground when she stepped ashore.

b) Leaks in water tanks that allow bilge water, sea water, etc. to ingress / contaminate the fresh water tanks...
c) Water pressure pump leaks, diaphragm contamination, etc...
d) Just old / funky / molding water in tanks and/or contaminates dislodged by the never-ending motion of the sea, making the water in the tanks "funky"...
e) Leaky filler caps, etc...



Those are just the ones off the top of my head....while I'm helping my 93 yr old Mom....

If memory serves me, it was quite common in the old days, before things like bleach, for the water to become foul after about a month. Given time the bugs would die off and the water would again be drinkable.
Water has microbes in it who continue to multiply while the water is in the container. They eventually die off. You just can't drink the water till they do.

If I was crew. I would be taking JP out for a few brewsky's right now to celebrate.

Even for someone with vast experience that certainly is a very large undertaking. I can't imagine it.

I'm very happy to hear Boatie and his crew are safely tied up. Well done Atoll and JP! Kudos to the owner too.

Sleep well Boatman!
