Water delivered. I had a great chat with the guy who owned the water tanker.

He said someone contacted him stressed that she'd run out of water. She's a little further out & he's very busy. He added $40 to his normal charge for that location (normally $260) as he was going to do it tonight after his other booked deliveries. A pain in the ass surcharge of sorts.

The lady was upset he was charging so much. I don't think she's getting water today.

He said so many people treat his water deliveries as a right. That he's somehow obligated to deliver them fresh water.

The guy was one of the few that got back to me & he had a date that was reasonably soon. I'd expected to pay $300, he thought he'd quoted me $200 (I actually never asked what his rate was). I gave him $250 knowing that I can probably get him back fairly quick if I need to.

Being on a boat on a tidal mooring getting water onboard is one of a number of challenges. I either have to buy it at the shop and haul it myself or I ask a couple of mates to fill some cans and haul it to me, either way, I have to pay, in cash or sweat. Nothings free in life.

The ultimate irony - being surrounded by water & having nothing to drink.

It makes you appreciate some things that we take for granted in life.
