[alberg30] clorination of ships water

[Hugh Freebairn]

We lived aboard our Islander 36 for 6 years while travelling across the 
Pacific.  Our water either came from different island water supplies or from 
rain catchment off of the deck.  We always treated our ships' water at the 
rate of 1 teaspoon of bleach to 5 gallons of water and we never had a health 
problem even when our daughter was born while we were in Fiji.
