A typical ice chest is kept in the cockpit to keep beverages cold for several days and to keep from opening and closing the galley unit all day long.
I put block ice and some crushed ice in this cooler, keep it covered with white towels and drain it every day. It's good for around four days in the heat of summer before I have to buy more ice.
The wife says I'm making a mistake by draining the cooler every day. Well, she's the scientist in the family, but I think I'm right about draining the ice chest.
Will the ice chest stay cooler for longer if it's drained or if the water is left inside until all of the ice is melted?.
