Peggie, does that mean that the simple act of peeing overboard under the

Nope..."direct deposit" from above the water or while in it is legal, both
under cover of darkness and in broad daylight. It's only illegal if it
goes into any kind of container or installed device before it's sent
overboard.

Excuse me, for nitpicking, but I am curious about the interpretation. In
our boat the rule is: do not go to the rail for peeing. Pee instead into
a small plastic bottle ("duck" we call it) by staying firmly inside the
boat and then pour the liquid over the rail. So does this safety measure
make it illegal?
