3rd day living on the boat. Now embracing the “smelling suspect and looking like a scarecrow” vibe.

I spent three days on a 40-footer early last month. The toilet packed up in the first hour or so.
Never have I been so glad to get to dry land and pub for a pint & a poo.

@Dr David Mills the sea is right there. Obvs you can’t drink a pint of it, but the other thing …
in reply to Sarah Brown

Yeah, it was getting close to that.
Got to go back soon to help fit the furler we took off to repair. I'd better repair it first.

@Dr David Mills Anchor or heave-to, trail a line with a fender on the end. Get in the sea. Shit. Use sea to clean. Exit sea. 10 seconds in heads shower to remove salt. Job (lol) done.

If in UK waters, all you are doing is putting your shit with all the other shit.

@Saxicola ✅ @Dr David Mills Gotta clean yourself up if you use a bucket. Sea takes away and cleans. Problems solved.
