I ALWAYS keep a roll of toilet paper on my bass boat!!!! And, when in a
pinch, I've been known to use my underwear, and leave them!

You're a much nicer guy than I. I keep paper towels. They're useful for
more than just wiping a butt!

JimH,
The last thing my wife would think I was being is considerate, if I told her
to squat on a porta pottie or if I had to carry the porta potty home to
clean it out. The marinas all are on septic tanks, and do not allow dumping
porta potties in the toilets.
She would want me to, and I would eagerly go to, a marina with a clean
toilet. If I did not have a head aboard the boat, I would remind everyone
before we left the marina is to "hit the head". Just becuase someone does
not like the idea of having a porta potty onboard a boat, doesn't mean that
person is inconsiderate.

I have to agree with you and JohnH, I would hate to have a porta potty on

Another considerate person thinking of the needs of his
wife..............Come on honey, if you have to go so bad just squat over
the gunwhale and let it go. ;-)


There are too many ways for a porta potty to make
a mess in a boat, none of them pretty.


Name them.

I *never* had any problems when we had porta potties in our smaller boats.

My friend, an Ontario Provincial Police officer who gets the
much-vied-for summer boating duty, tells me that about 80% of male
drowning victims are found with their flys down. Yup, guys taking a
leak over the side.

I rarely survive an afternoon's sail without a trip to the head, and I
don't even drink beer. If my husband were as understanding as a few of
you guys he'd be sailing alone (actually he wouldn't be sailing at all
because he would never have bought the boat because I would have said -
no we aren't buyin that POS! are you f'in crazy! I ain't goin on that
thing! there's nowhere to pee but over the side!)


OTOH - I am the one who maintains/empties it.

Thanks for pounding some sense into these numskulls who somehow think it is
difficult to use and keep clean. ;-)

I like the responses saying that they would ask their wife to wait till they
get back to the dock. Heck, when my wife needs to pee, she needs to pee.
Same with me. We aren't waiting for a 20-30 minute ride back to the marina.

But sometimes, wiping is the only thing that counts! One of the guys I
fish with I think has an overactive digestive tract, and it seems that
getting out on a boat makes that condition flare up. I swear, I ask him
every single time if he needs to take a dump before we shove off. No.
About five minutes motoring and next thing I'll hear, if we are in my
boat, is "pull over there".....

I also keep the baby wipes. Good for washing up after if you don't
have pressurized water.

Your lucky to have so many places to stop.
Here, you'd better have a head on board, or it's a long way between
restrooms.
