To help with your understanding there is nothing worn under the kilt it as all in good working order .

The problem is that the length is limited to just aove the knee when kneeling down .

Some of us who are more endowed than others therefore had a problem which was solved by stuffing it down their right sock - hence the origin of the word hose .

In emergency it could be cut free with the Skian Dhu which was kept in the left one sock

Whilst on this particular subject (toilets that is)
Has any one experience of the (German?) boat loo
which is completely "dry"?
I believe it has a waterproof paper liner which fits in the bowl
and can be sealed after use.
It was of interest to me because I do not favour having
too many holes in my hull.
Where does one store the sealed bag? In the gash?

Regards Briani

I think the reason we like the seat (not the lid) left down, is that, as we have no eyes in our backsides, we sit on cold porcelain if the lid is not present. Now, you could argue (and should, in my opinion) that we should look before turning round to drop our drawers. Unfortunately, this seems an impossible trick to learn. Perhaps we need more practice? I admit to this fault, and it is just the same if both the seat and the lid are down, but the outcome is not quite so cold.

I now fear retribution from my sisters

When the heel is more than 30% it becomes a necessity; otherwise there is a difficult trajectory to calculate which must be variable in harmony with the rocking of the boat....

No experience of German thing but the Japanese brought out a laser one that vaporized everything as it fell. Therefore no bowl at all.

The Baby Blake, seat up or down, is for the use of Lady Guests When Alongside Only. Underway the Captain and entire crew bucket and chucket. In winds of 5 or worse the Captain and entire crew avoid the 'falling off the boat while peeing' problem by using the self flushing/draining cockpit.

A Gentleman is one who removes the washing up before peeing in the sink.
