done quite a few and helps to put the container horizontally in the water gently and let the ashes just float out down tide(we normally go to anchor and switch everything electrical and electronic off so no alarms or VHF going off)
full time for 32 years and although not made a packet have managed to bring up 3 kids and pay mortgage in that time,but hard work! and don't even think about it if you don't get a kick from being on the water everyday!!
