SUDANESE WATER TRUCK
A cruise to Sudan would be incomplete without taking on a
supply of fresh water. You don't have to carry the
water a great distance, because a Sudanese "water truck" will
bring it to you.
You simply take a stroll through the souq and talk to the
waterman who will arrange a time and place for delivery. You
synchronize your watches, make a few friendly gestures, and the
deal is done. At the appointed time, the donkey shows up
pulling the water cart, and you fill your jugs with fresh water.
In this photo, David holds jugs that we picked up several months
earlier in Thailand, and we used those jugs to transport water to
our boat.
The water truck consists of two 55 gallon drums welded together
with a spigot installed at the base. The cart's frame is
constructed from welded pipe joined to a scavenged car axle.
Add one white donkey to pull the contraption, and you are in the
water business.
Buying water in Suakin is a trust exercise, because not all of the
wells have potable water. If you trust your waterman, then
you pour the water into your tanks. Some cruisers put the
water in their tanks and others left it in their jugs. We
regarded the water as a backup supply mainly to be used for
showers and laundry.
