Small Sailboat Cruising's video: Dinghy Cruising Basics Ep 6 S O G Heaving To and how to take a comfort break while underway

In this episode of Dinghy Cruising Basics, I take a look at making speed over ground vs. speed through the water despite currents and wind. Staying in the deep stuff and a light-hearted look at taking a leak without falling overboard. When nature calls and you are underway, it is not always convenient to go ashore. You need to devise a way of taking a leak safely, without risking falling overboard. Peeing over the side can be risky. Heaving Too helps make it a bit safer for sure. But I copied an idea from a friend and created the “Universal pee bucket” by cutting down an empty “Weed and Feed” container. A very simple and safe solution. It pays to rinse the bucket thoroughly in freshwater before using the convenient shower facility which is built into the handle. I hope you are enjoying these videos.
