[Paddlewise] Wet My Suit

Awhile back there was discussion about different methods to keep the drysuit
dry.  Dry after bladder elimination, that is.

Before I ask my question, please skip to the next message for subject matter
unrelated to the bathroom (one should hope).  My question isn't as bad as
watching a National Geographic special of the African desert where they show
the mother washing the baby in fresh cow urine.

Anyway, I didn't like the idea of fiddling with those appliances or
attempting unzip maneuvers on the high seas.  Still, I need the cold water
protection which only a drysuit gives, or so the argument goes.  (I haven't
tried one yet).

Even if I eliminate immediately prior to settling into the cockpit, as soon
as my hands dip into the cold ocean, I feel the urge.  To add to the flow
woes, I seem to constantly suck on my convenient hydration system.  So, it's
not more than an hour into the voyage before I just let 'er, er him,
nonchalantly drain.  Result: a warm wetsuit.  No biggie, paddle on.

Here's my theory how it will work while wearing a drysuit.  First, I'm not
going to do anything different than what I do in the wetsuit--no bags, adult
diapers, or unzipping.  Just pee away into my polypro tights! I figure the
goretex will help evaporate most moisture.  What moisture remains will,
through capillary action, dissipate into the rest of the tights.  Zip out of
the suit at the end of the journey, say, 30 minutes from the last episode,
and nothing embarrassingly detectable.

Can anybody confirm my theories or am I in danger of freezing with this
method?  If I can rent a drysuit or if someone on the list is willing to
loan theirs out to me to test these ideas, please write.  I promise not to
crap into it!

Thanks,
