Maybe…but I think not only. They used to eat me too… but somehow and luckily I’m not that interesting anymore for them 😅 It may also have something to do with histamine. Mosquito bites trigger the release of histamine, which causes the itching and swelling. Some people seem to break down h...

Cracking sail yesterday. Anyone who sails will know how hard it is to maintain high speeds. And keep in mind this is just the misses and I sailing this old girl, she’s isn’t a fully crewed race boat.
Man she sails well and what’s really cool is that she was designed during a time of proof of work. Before computers and fluid dynamics.
She was born out of experience out of time on the sea. She was designed around what a person had experienced using different hull shapes and lengths, trial and error so to speak.
As someone that’s crossed many oceans on many types of boats I can attest that her design is near on perfect for a shorthanded performance cruiser. She helms like she’s on rails and just boogies like there’s no tomorrow 💃
Here’s the numbers. Don’t trust verify!

Wow!!! That's amazing!!! So many people are not aware how bad the tap water can be... I don't remineralise my water. I get my minerals through food! veggies, fruits, salt, nuts, seeds, etc. Water in m...

Yeah pretty much what we do onboard. My wife’s totally into food we eat a lot of food similar to yours. Simple whole foods delicious!
So a lot of minerals are from the food but I’ve read that the water has the ability to strip nutrients from the body. I like your thoughts and approach on letting food do the job and water do the cleaning 🙏

The idea that mineral-poor water draws minerals from the body is an old tale. You can also drink distilled water. It's a lie that has been spread around, the notion that water must contain minerals, simply to keep/make our bodies sick. These minerals are too big particles, our body can't absorb. It ...

My filtered water has 3ppm :) It's super smooth. But ppm doesn't show what the particles actually are....if it's minerals, or chemicals etc. The less ppm the better IMOP.

How’s the water after desalination? Does it taste hard or smooth? Does your filter on board also filter out microplastic? Very curious to read more about it. I know that in Israel, they desalinate s...

Our desalinated water tastes good but thin and viscous like which is a change to the depth of taste in the water we drink when with our family in northern Italy. Direct from the Dolomites there’s nothing like it. We’d love to do our best to improve the water we drink onboard it’s just hard to pin down the best way to remineralise the water. We’ve been using Celtic salts but there’s far better ways it’s just finding one that’s simple and easy enough to do onboard a boat sailing remote parts of the world?

There are cartridges with minerals in the reverse osmosis filter system that release the appropriate minerals to the water since only water can pass from the first stage. That is because the human bod...

Thanks 🙏 yes I think you’ll find the RO water after the process has zero or very little minerals normally less than 440ppm. You need to add a re-mineralising filter to add the minerals back to the water. This is a different process to RO or desalination.
We’ve been doing it onboard for more than twenty years and I was keen to ask how you added the minerals back as this subject has many options about the best way to do that. We’ve been using Celtic salts but there’s far better ways and I’d be keen to learn how others are doing it?

As far as i know what reverse osmosis does, is that the water pass through a filter that only water molecules can pass since they are smaller, which means it holds even the minerals the water had, but since we need the water to have a certain amount of minerals, then the filter system adds the miner...

Some multi cartridge RO units have a mineralisation stage after the RO membrane if designed for human consumption. Lab RO units do not. How many stages does your unit have?

Best water is clean and light water. Means: the least mineral possible, no additives like chlorine or fluoride…not stored in plastic… just still light water… Did you know that water bottles aren...

Agree my wife’s from the Italian alps and the water we drink there direct from the mountains is like nothing else you can feel it within your body.
Onboard we also make our own water using reverse osmosis or desalination and I’m still trying to work out the best way to store the water and to remineralise it?
Would love to hear more about how you deal with it?

The reverse osmosis procedure gives minerals to the water at the end. The right amount also. Glass bottles for some storage.

Wow!!! That's amazing!!! So many people are not aware how bad the tap water can be... I don't remineralise my water. I get my minerals through food! veggies, fruits, salt, nuts, seeds, etc. Water in my opinion needs to be as clean as possible. Cause water is not a nutrient...It's for cleansing, dilu...

How’s the water after desalination? Does it taste hard or smooth? Does your filter on board also filter out microplastic? Very curious to read more about it. I know that in Israel, they desalinate sea water too for irrigation and probably also for tap water.
