Working on the desalinator. Today I was finally able to fire it up although we are still in fresh water. The model we settled on is a Village Marine LWM300 modular since we wanted to get the production rate up there a bit, and the modular aspect allowed me to squeeze it into the bilge over the water heater.
So far so good, and the dissolved solids was around 1 ppm vs. 150 for the city water coming into the boat.
However with all of the missing solids, the water tastes off a bit. No salts at all makes it kind of bland.
I'm thinking that it will work fine as ice in a strawbery daquiri. Soon enough the boat comes out for inspection, some zincs and a new thru hull.

The link under the heading "Ship's Log Data" will take you to an unreadable file unless you happen to understand GPS data.
If you have Google Earth installed and are browsing with Internet Explorer merely left click on one of the "Ships log GPS data" links and it will present a zip file to open in a dialog box. So click open on the file and it will then present another dialog box with a KML file. Double click on the file to open the tracks in Google Earth.
