Passage peeing

As 'Captain of the Heads' I'll pee where I like!

After you've worked on septic tank systems you get immune to pongs!

In which case the German word is sitzsprinkler.

Not all german customs are good. Obsession with hygene can seem odd to us and they seem no healthier

The Krauts have a word for everything!

What of those of us who can’t empty their bladder in the sitting position?

kneeling is ok. Bungy cord holds the lid etc up. You don’t have to aim except in the vaguest sense. Mrs M has a nose as sensitive as a Beagles and if I made the heads pong with sprayed wee, I’d soon know about it.

Spray disinfectant is excellent in the heads.

Sitzpinkler.

Human bodies are a terrible piece of product design.

Sitzpinkler.

It sounds like a refreshing fizzy drink!

Not having eyes in my arse I’d not need the lights. Sit to pee.

I use a milk container with the top cut off - in the cock pit, where else! ?

+1
I was in hospital some years ago and saw they had some plastic pee bottles for the bedridden. I asked the nurse if I could have one as a souvenir and still use it today many years later. Only on the boat of course.

An alternative is The Cabbie's Friend:

Ain't dat de troof. I used to have to empty my "septic tank" (really just a cess pit with an overflow) with a shovel and wheelbarrow every three years or so. It leaves one pretty immune.

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

Yes HissyFit it's a good point;

For starters, one hand is needed to hold on.

If you are wearing oilskins, lifejacket, HBC and the usual clobber, it all needs unzipping, unbuttoning, pulling down and holding clear of the impending golden stream. That's two hands.

The heads lid and seat probably need holding up. Another hand required.

The organ in question needs a firm but accurate grip. Four hands so far, or is it five?

Remind me again: why is someone insisting that standing up is a good idea?

If you are unable to handle your tackle yourself you need a larger more willing crew

Really? It makes the boat smell of stale piss for the duration of the trip, you may be ok with that or even enjoy it, each to their own. My yacht doesn't have a shower and the heads is complicated to clean, with any spillage going in the bilges.
Men sit down to urinate, end of story.

Hear hear ...

A funnel with a flexible spout poked down the cockpit drain saves going below.

Or a plastic pop bottle with the top cut off. ?

 

[michael_w]

Is it worse to pee down a cockpit drain or pick up the mainsheet only to find one's loved one has vomited over it?

 

[Poignard]

That would be after one's loved one had vomited after inhaling the effluvium from the cockpit drains?

Another vote for the 2 litre milk plastic milk bottle.
Many years ago we got caught out by a really nasty blow when sailing off Wales and were jilling around under minimal sail just waiting for it to pass; with no deep water to be found of Aberystwyth, we'd been getting pitched and tossed by some nasty steep seas better than an hour when Lesley bewailed that she just had to take a pee, but it was too rough for her to use the heads. My suggestion that as she was already soaked to the skin, it'd be safer (and keep the cabin drier) if she remained clipped on and simply peed on the cockpit floor. Whilst this suggestion didn't go down well, over concerns about hygiene rather than lost dignity, my argument won the day thanks to the emphasis which the next couple of 30 gallon dollops of seawater landing in the cockpit gave it; the weather had blown through only perhaps twenty minutes later, but the cockpit was more than adequately flushed by then.

Very illuminating........
