Peeing is always a big topic on the trips I've led and the courses I've taught. I always tell kids that whom ever drinks the most gets a gold star because their tendency is to withhold liquids so they don't have to stop, or being embarassed by having to pee. Drinking a lot and stopping a lot is a good thing unless you are on a super long crossing and just can't. Sometimes if you can't stop you can have someone hold your boat for you while you pee - into a container, or even over the side (taking local conditions into account of course - don't want to get hypothermic or otherwise immersed in stormy seas.) Whenever I can I just wear a two-piece outfit just because it does make peeing so much easier. On solo trips I've been unable to find a place to get out and have gotten creative - like one leg out, one leg in....etc. Related to women's topics, I've put the outlines from the West Coast Sea Kayak symposium on onwatersports.com - click on the link to women. We did brainstorming/breakout groups so the outlines are created by the groups and what topics they thought were important. There are also some chat venues for women. It's new so hasn't had much traffic yet....
