Watermaker necessary for Greece?

[sailaboutvic]

Having been in Greece the last 6 years there have been some occasions when a watermaker would have been desirable but none when it would have been essential.
There are some islands in the Aegean where potable water is in very short supply, but plenty of water in the Ionian.
I get by on 12.5l/day/person, some boats I know have to budget for x2 that consumption. I'd rate a watermaker in the E Med as inessential as an SSB radio.[/QUOTEi let you know my opinon on that Chrales , so far 10 weeks in Turkey and no problem , we about to go back to Greece to day , had it happen we on our way So I let you know what I think in days to come ]

So where is your free supply in Antigua, Dominica, Bequia, Grenada? These are popular yachty destinations where friends without watermakers have had to pay for it. French islands water can be had for free I agree but not most places

And when you just can't be arsed to move, or go out of your way, it's rather nice to make 70lt an hour at the flick of a switch. Its not necessary but nice to have.
