Our Watermaker CRACKS Under Pressure! – Sailing Turtle

Whenever we tell people our story and tell them we’d like to full time cruisers, one of the first things the saltier sailors mention is the importance of having a watermaker. We took this advice to heart and purchased the Seawater Pro single membrane watermaker. While we didn’t get to do the install while we were in the US, we were confident that it was something we could get done on anchor while in the Bahamas. And after a bit of sourcing of a small plumbing accessory, we actually were able to stay true to that, until we actually turned it on. As soon as we turned it on, our casing that holds the membrane gave a loud cracking noise and we would soon discover that we had on our hands a brand new broken watermaker. Join us as we try to figure out the next steps. Plus we finally succeed in making bread AND squeeze in a woodworking project! Life on board is never boring on Turtle. Come along for the ride!

We are Dev (pronounced Dave) and Spandana (pronounced Spun-The-Nuh), a software engineer and developmental behavioral pediatrician, who gave up everything. Less than 6 months after learning how to sail, we bought a sailboat and jumped into full time cruising. Our Turtle is a 40 foot 1993 Caliber who has had 7 owners before us and has even been salvaged once. Join our adventure as we travel the world, collecting memories and barnacles!
