Daily Dilemma: Should we shower on our 6 day voyage? Or not?
We stress water conservation on the Coral Reef II because of its limited supply. We can only use the water that is put aboard the boat before we leave, even though we are surrounded by it. We started our trip with roughly 2100 gallons aboard the boat and already by the end of our first full day we are down to 1750 gallons.
Another reason to limit water usage is because we stress limiting water usage for environmental purposes. Most of the planet is covered in water, yet most of it can not be used directly. There is a limited supply of fresh water on Earth. Here on Bimini they needed to install a reverse osmosis plant in order to sustain their water needs. Water is extremely important, our lives and many others depend on it.
So do we really need to shower? Tell us what you think we should do?
I vote NO shower! Its part of the wilderness experience and represents taking a stand for water conservation. Have fun Jordan and friends! What an amazing experience you are sharing!
Dont shower! Only do it if someone tells you that you smell. Try to conserve as much water as you can.
Hi Brock,
The papillons get bathed once a week and they are just beautiful, so I'm sure it wont hurt you one bit.

Maybe a little late and decisions have been made...but for those of you who are still considering... with all the water around you do you guys really need a shower? Salt will take care of things...Enjoy this amazing journey.
