Tip O\' the Day
From the November issue of "Sea" magazine.
Q: How do you keep a boay's water tank from freezing when cruising in cold weather?
A: Try pouring a little cheap gin or vodka in the water tank:It won't freeze and it's virtually undetectable in trace amounts. One quart diluted with 40 gallons of water will usually do the trick.
I just went out to the boat and tried this. I only have a 20 gallon tank, but I figured, "what the heck." When I tasted the water I realized that there must have been only a gallon or two of water left after my last trip. That was gooooood water.
