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

board any boat, either on mine, or a friends. # 1 over the side, or in

water, #2 is in a marina.



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. ;-)


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.

Some sense? All she did, in my opinion is show what an overbearing
person that is unable to compromise.
