If my memory serves me correctly, we started having watermaker issues back in Fulaga, however it was here in Gau where it first pops up in the log. “High salinity.” The issue was that when running the watermaker it was taking longer and longer for the salinity level to come down to safe drinking levels, and sometimes we would have to run the generator to get the voltage up in order to increase the pump pressure in order for the salinity to come down. It definitely got worse in Gau, which was pretty poor timing considering we had 5 extra people on board. But we ended up living with it for a couple of months until we got back to Savusavu. (Spoiler alert: it was the membrane.)
