Passage peeing

[john_morris_uk]

All these talks of milk bottles and containers. What's stopping people just going to the heads and use them as they are designed to be used!

 

[PetiteFleur]

All new male guests get told how to pee - SIT DOWN and there is a pictogram as well, just to remind them.

Perhaps Mr Fox doesn't invite older guests on board.

Oy, I resemble that remark.

I also strongly suspect that I'm younger than you!

Depends where you are and whether you have someone to take over while go below

Depends how long you take to pee and whether you've got a good autopilot or wind vane or not...

Last time I was taken short was coming down the Loire, my wife was having a sleep, the Channel was narrow, the current fierce. No one but a fool would leave his boat to the care of an autopilot under such circumstances.

Very true. I guess in those circumstances it's time to wake up the wife... However I guess we can all dream up exceptional circumstances.

Regarding going below to the heads to pee, I was referring to when in open waters. A good look round and you're good for a few minutes of visiting the heads and doing your business.

Save your sermons for those that ask for them.

The C130 Hercules type off aircraft that I've flown on many times had a pee-urinal towards the port side aft end. There was even a sort of canvas 'privacy curtain' for the faint of heart IIRC

Ah, Johnboi....

Guest aircrew could request 'the scenic pissoir'.... Lowering the ramp and 'hanging ten' ( On a tether. No-one wanted the paperwork! ) permitted a fine view of the late evening horizon, and 'pinkeln' on the passing landscape was an effective sop to the otherwise jangled nerves of knowing your homebound aircraft was being flown by a very young 'Truckie' co-pilot with less commonsense and airmanship than the Wing Commander's wife's cockapoodle.

The thing is, people especially gents, are accustomed to taking a quick slash and carrying on.
That is often impossible if you are wearing a lifejacket with crotch strap, PLB, full oilies, HBC, and all the trimmings.
You need to organise it, 5 mins is a minimum.
You have to tell someone, go down the companionway, unclip, adjust your lighting method, disrobe, get your kit off, do your business, flush, wash, put all your clobber back on, clip on, and get back in the cockpit, get your night vision, then you have completed the actions of going for a wee. 5 minutes is a good time actually. Allow 10.
( Obviously it is easier in hot weather and a flat calm...)

You could also, Gary Fox, wear nappies.
We've all had some practice in this....

Heaven help us. With my bladder and bowels I cant afford to do that rigmarole every hour. Unclip, unzip - pee. Unclip, undo crotch strap lower pants - poo. Simples. Back at helm 2 to 4 minutes max

Ah! The tether on the lowered ramp of a C130. I spent a happy day with my camera hanging out over the end of the ramp on a tether photographing soldiers of 59 commando engineers doing jumps over an LZ on a frozen lake in Norway. One of several winters I spent in Norway and the views were spectacular out of the back end of the aircraft. (I also saw the barely concealed fear of the roughy toughy soldiers as they lined up and were about to entrust their lives to a few bits of string and some nylon. )

An alternative might be to gaffer-tape a torch to one's privy parts.

I'm sure I've got a heads-torch somewhere...

An interesting comment on a post that started by agreeing with you and then explained the context of my previous reply. Hey ho; it takes all sorts.

This was a thread about pissing. That's all. A light-hearted thread enlivened with jokes and anecdotes.
You, as too often, see it as another opportunity to tell people what to do. To show off, to talk down to people.
It's bloody annoying.

But did you jump with them....?

( Must confess you wouldn't get me jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft. I'd leave claw-marks in the metal.... )

No showing off intended snd I definitely don’t intend to ‘talk down’ at anyone.

OK, I was out of order.
