1. Icemakers are really freezers. Empty the bin and pack portion packed steaks and fish on the bottom layers and let th icemaker drop cubes on top. Usually icemakers produce more ice than social events really demand so cut down the storage capacity with frozen food.

2. Distilled water for batteries,,, In a pinch put a soda bottle on the condensate drain tube of your air conditioner to collect distilled water, It helps if the pan and tube are clean.
 
#2?????????? Not in my batteries. that water is always contaminated with ions and biologicals regardless of how clean you might think the pan is.
 
I said in a pinch Charlie, rather that than water from my water tank
 
How do I get this water into my AGM's??? <grin>
 
No frig or ice maker on my boat, so prolonging the ice in the ice chests were tantamount. I always froze most of the food for the trip and kept it surrounded by ice, but not in the bottom where water collected. I used a separate ice chest for beverages, which helped to keep the food ice chest closed most of the time. The food chest was never topside in the heat/sun. Keeping a wet white towel folded over the beverage cooler helped keep it cold too.

As ice melts, pump it from the ice chest into the fresh water tank to extend water for washing.
 
"Alway make sure the other end of the anchor rode is tied to something on your boat BEFORE dropping the anchor into the water."

So true! Or tie the bitter end to a "floatie" so that the anchor and rode can retrieved. This have saved my stern anchor many times
 
8. Advise non-boating guests that only organic material shall be dumped into the head.
 
9. Clothing is optional after sunset for all ladies over 21 and under 41. All others will be assessed on a case by case basis.
