So the water filter I have will desalinate the water? I didn't think it would since the salt is dissolved into the water. I have one of those that I use in the mountains, I will take it for sure if it will make the water drinkable.

Also Mary, I am really excited about this cruise. It won't be hard and should be a blast.

I am also a pretty avid bass fisherman, I am going to take a heavy bass rig with a small tacklebox. I know there are some redfish on those barrier islands so I should have some fun fishing also.
