Another option is the notorious "Prop Check"

And what would that be?

Where you go for a swim and use that as an opportunity to
urinate.

I would find the nearest airport, but I'm not a sailor.

Maybe you could ease the sails and they could go in the water without
embarrassment to themselves?

LP (just asking)

It is clear from your post that she had
figured out that using the bucket was going to be somewhat
embarassing
anyway but doubly difficult when the boat is 'blasting' across the
bay
probably at a considerable angle of heel.

plus Bart holding his digital camera at the ready prolly didn't help
any.

No doubt, Scott! LOL

Same product that has been offered for years in the aviation business.

I found a comparable product for just five bucks in the children's section
many years ago.

I find you particularly mean to women. I agree with everything Katysails

Seamanship question for Bart:

#1 Isn't it part of good seamanship to cater for the well being of your
crew. Keeping them dry, well fed, rested and happy?


The ladies had gotten their bottoms wet, and so did I, from maybe
a dozen or so waves that broke over the bow.

I would have provided oilskin pants for the crew or chosen a different
route..

I'm not one to hold my water. I used the bucket to pee once
on the way across, when we were heeled sharply. Later on the way
back, when the wind died I peed off the back.

Halfway across I noticed one of the ladies had a very wet bottom
after everyone else's bottom had dried off. The poor gal was too
embarrassed to use the bucket and pee'd in her pants.

Maybe it would have been nice to stop ashore like halfway up the trip to
enable the ladies to comfortably relieve themselves?

Lot of peeing going on, my guess is that plenty of drinks were served on the
way. Alcohol? Any concern for the Coast Guard to be lookout for your
Etchells in the future?


It was her first time sailing. Maybe next time, she think about using
the bucket rather than have a wet butt for 6 hours.


This is probably not the way best way to introduce new people to the
wonderful sport of sailing..

Honda's reverse exhaust relief is an interesting idea. Of their claimed 60%
more thrust in reverse, it looks to me like 45% of that is thanks to the
redirected exhaust. Those guys are always thinking.

With a last-minute change of crew, at least one of whom is a non-sailor,
shouldn't the skipper have reappraised the situation and altered the plan
accordingly?

I've always heard you're supposed to treat your crew with disdain.

I think LP's referring to Bart's idea of slowing down the plane, pretending
to do a prop check, then sneaking a pee.

Is that where they got the idea for 'wing walkers'?
