When I did a cruise down the coast, it was a real challenge to use the head
because it was on the starboard side and we were on a starboard tack the
whole way. Sort of like ****ing up hill. One guy forgot to lock the head
door,
and when we hit a small wave, he got dumped on the floor with his pants
down. Then, when we came through and the boat leveled somewhat, he
got thrown back in the head compartment, and the door slammed. He didn't
make that mistake a second time.

True,
Those nice saloons are useless at sea because everything falls off the
table, try sitting on that settee when it's to windward.

The wonderful flat broad bunks are useable only after you pad up the
side so you can lie against the side.

Bunks big enough for two are used only by individuals because no-one
wants to be stacked up against another.

The head is almost useless and most sailors prefer the briny toilet.
