We were out the same time and the winds were pretty exciting... until they weren't.
In comparison, we had six people on our 40-foot monohull for the first week and used 75 gallons of tank water and 20 gallons of drinking water (gallon jugs). That is the least tank water we have used. The relatively low temperatures helped keep us from sweating through our clothes. The crew were avid snorkelers and experienced back country campers, so that made a difference.
In July 2015 we had ten people on a Helia 44 cat and we were going through 10 gallons of tank water per person per day. The difference was air temperature and the crew was taking full showers every day.
