Peeing in a bucket

Yes, I knew there'd be one person who is the exception! lol. But your exception proves the rule, MOST women are NOT going to be thrilled to pee in a bucket for a couple of years with you. Just because you CAN find one or two,hidden away in the Phillipines or somewhere obscure, doesn't mean you a very likely to find one any time soon, or that she's the love of your life. I remember George Burns enjoying smoking cigars and having a scotch everyday. And HE lived to be 100, right? Doesn't mean it's a good idea.

My point is, there's nothing wrong with having the things that make you feel comfortable, available on your boat. We're not talking Jacuzzos here, we're talking $40 worth of carpet or $150 worth of plumbing so you'll at least have a 1 in 100 chance to actually share your cruising life with someone else you like. Peeing in a bucket is fine for a day sail, or a seat-of-your-pants experience when you are 19, but it's not really anything long term for the VAST majority of people.
that's why I like Tom Neale! lol
