Watermakers are an essential piece of kit for remote cruising, so we take good care of our Schenker Zen 30. In this boat work episode, Jamie takes us through how he replaces the membranes. But don't make the same mistake, he nearly lost a nipple in the process!
Like most people, we get to know...
Upgrading to a new 12v watermaker was essential to our plans for a more energy efficient, off grid sailboat. Our new Schenker Zen100 watermaker will enable us to make water from the power generated from our solar panels and let us stay longer in those remote islands we love to explore.
Of course, ...

Wendy empties the pantry yet again and it’s time to begin planning for new shelves to make things store more easily.
Magnus cuts the timber, Wendy paints it all and then Magnus fits the new shelves.
Magnus replaces all of the lifelines in Nutshell’s cockpit with stainless steel which is a massive ...
After more than a year of research we now have a water maker on board Fair Isle. It was the biggest omission in our initial refit five years ago in Holland, but in a way we're glad we took the time to find the right model.
If I had fitted one when we first bought Fair isle I might have gone for...
This is our DIY, Do It Yourself, 100L/hr watermaker that we built from scratch during lockdown which cost us around $1,000 (EURO) total from standard parts we bought online. I must admit, we had the High Pressure pump gifted to us, so it may cost you guys a tiny bit more, so lets round it up to abou...
We continue the installation and revue of our Acuva water purification system. This unit likes its power, so beware of where and how you connect it.
If the blue light comes on, and stays on, and there are no leaks, we win!
Now, how do we unpickle and start using our Spectra water maker?
Please li...

Yeah! Free water 'THEY' said...until you stare at the thing which makes free fresh water and wonder why is it not making fresh free water? What went wrong? How does one start to troubleshoot something so advanced? And how much did it cost to get 'free' water again? Watch how we t...
Crystal clear water surrounds the islands in the Bahamas, but you can’t drink a lick of it. No surprise, it’s salty. The islands themselves have virtually no groundwater either, so where does it come from? There’s three options: It’s either shipped in, desalinated, or collected from the sky.
Withou...
Episode 137:
We managed to finish up our electrical system tidy up. I thought Ricky was just being OCD about the whole thing but then realized how much neater but also safer our electrical is now. We added some MEGA Fuses (which took us so damn long to find by the way) which means we are protecting...
It's always a balance between improving the boat and improving our home. They are one in the same which makes it's hard to separate personal and work life. The wind has been relentless (not mentioned in video) so stepping the mizzen is off until we get some calm weather. That helps push us...

One of the most important things a blue water cruiser needs is good tasting drinkable water. HECK - cruisers drink a lot (and some of those liquids need to be water)! You can buy bottled water but it gets expensive, is heavy to lug around and it takes up valuable space. Your best bet is to obtain an...
In this episode Mike and Jacquie try to determine why they cant make water. After many changes of water maker membranes we are stumped and have stumped the experts. At the date of this posting we still do not have a working water maker. If anyone out there had suggestions that we have not tried,...
