23 August 2016 - It may look undrinkable to you, but barrels of tannic water were actually taken aboard during the tall-ships era.  The slight acidity, the result of decomposing needles and leaves of native pines, cedars, and red oaks (which also explains the color), is sufficient to discourage the growth of unhealthy microbes.  On a long voyage, surrounded by brine, the stagnation of one’s potable liquids would be the onset of sickness.  For those accustomed to doing laps in transparent water hinting of chlorine, our lake isn’t very inviting.  But after many summers of drinking the brown stuff, I can attest that it is easy on the stomach.  I have no idea what it would do to your swimsuit.
