Also, just an idea but in the past when I did have other non-sailing/non-military couples on the boat. I would keep a few empty gallon water jugs and fill them up when I could and put them somewhere easy to get to in case the lack of water caught me off guard.

Because we all know, that there is no better warning to non-sailors who can't seem to grasp the concept of limited fresh water until it runs out!


“Dawn comes early on a boat, right Captain? That’s right it happens everyday just about sun up!”
