Thanks again Ralph! Then I bought a freshette women's urinal device, which I'm going to start practicing with in the shower one of these days. I'll fit it with an extra long extension tube - not that I think I can use it while in the cockpit, I just want to be able to relieve myself on the beach with the guys and know my hose is longer than theirs (Penis envy gets its revenge HAHAHAHAHAHA !) And frustrate the wee black bloodsucking bastards, hopefully. I discovered another item in the Campmor catalog, the Travel John, which is a "disposable personal urinal with a Liqsorb super absorbent pouch". Might work in the cockpit. It claims the liquid turns into a bio-degradable gel when it combines with the crystals in the permeable pouch, and its capacity is claimed to be "20 fl oz (600 cc) max for multiple uses until filled". Package of 3 for $6. For men I like the sponge idea the best, of course. (Think I'll post this to Pwise, too.) As far as the solid waste issue, I figure that'll only happen in such circumstances that a dirty wetsuit won't be what's on my mind.
