The boat also has a water maker which can provide water if the city water has an issue. There is also a marina with a fuel dock and a 1,000,000 gallon tank so I can get extra boat fuel there.
The dock is set with 30 wooden poles about 2 feet thick that go 30 feet into the ground and are secured by concrete. The dock has 1'' steel U brackets that attach to the dock on both sides and wrap around the poles. The marina is in a very sheltered area of an already sheltered bay and the current goes inward so it would just drift onto shore of get hunt up on one of the mooring balls.That sounds amazing when are we going?
On the natural disaster side always consider those things not being there. What if the marina blows up or the dock floats away with the boat tied to it. I totally agree with you that there is hunting a fishing to add to your stores but I would rather plan for the worse and hope for the best.
All those white dots are boats and the L shaped thing is the dock.
Oh yeah.Nice!! looks beautiful up there. sounds like that thing is built stout as hell.
It is a great area! Can't figure out how to fish too well there though. Biggest thing caught was a sculpin @SparksFly caught and released that he was hitting himself about when he found out the Staghorn Sculpin record size for WA is .74 lbs. His sculpin was about 14 inches long.Just clicked on the pics. I love Port Townsend! We used to go boating up there once in while when I was a kid.
Sparky, what is a "water maker"? How does it work? Im guessing some kind of condenser to remove salt..The boat also has a water maker which can provide water if the city water has an issue. There is also a marina with a fuel dock and a 1,000,000 gallon tank so I can get extra boat fuel there.
What a watermaker does is intake water (fresh or salt) and using reverse osmosis, it preassurizes the water to about 800 psi. It uses that pressure to push the water through a semi-permeable membrane, which allows some water to pass through but not salt, grit, or viruses. The water that makes it through is now clean, salt-free, and ready to drink. A standard RO watermaker puts out a 1:10 ratio, or 10% freshwater to 90% brine, which is discharged overboard. For a good quality, medium-craft, watermaker, they will run anywhere from $6,000 all the way up to $18,000 and will put out anywhere from 200 to 1,000 gallons per day. A Commercial one will run from $18,000 all the way to $100,000 for large ones and will put out 1,800+ gallons per day. Here are a few:Sparky, what is a "water maker"? How does it work?

If you know about it many many other people know about it - hopefully you have a good multi person defense strategy in place.
On current supplies 72 hours is what I can pull off right now. I don't want my neighbors thinking I am a supply source, so I keep incoming storage items concealed in regular groceries, and water jugs filled at odd times/ intervals, preferably brought in when the rest of the "hood" is asleep. Chances of neighbors banding together in time of crisis, about 5%. Chance of looting and complete disorder - 95%.
This is really important.
