There are important photos from my Family Affair (of which/whom? Peter is the Skipper) sailing sojourn that have not yet been blog-shared. Peter as inventor of the Langsford SheepCrush ( and accompanying hat range) is known to be the creative/fix it type. One of his specialties is the specially shaped piece of wood. If you can shape a piece of wood to fit flush into its needed place it can achieve much. For example, said shaped piece of wood could hold very fine muslin cloth in place of the main doors of a boats’cabin to create an elaborate and elegant insect screen, ….or it could allow the ultimate on-board solar shower experience.
The concept of the solar-heated shower while boating is not new. The power of the Australian sun very quickly heats up a bag of several litres of fresh water. BUT If the bag (with shower head attachment) is then hung in the right place, AND a specially placed piece of wood holds open the boats main bathroom/heads hatch and holds the shower nozzle in perfect position then it is possible from below deck to turn your hot shower on…..then a real shower of 1-2 minutes can be taken in privacy. The Specially Shaped piece of Wood- I commend it to you
Good taste photos attached of the shower experience…they show me turning the shower on- with my characteristic arm/hand poses (Grant! The ghost of COCO!!)
