Some of you may be aware of this product but.. if it is, and many locations are, impossible to dispose of waste this may be a solution, albeit not the most economical... With bag any old bucket nicely substitutes in an emergency. (For several years won't leave home without)

The admiral has suggested 'Poo Bags' for quite a while!

We have just ordered our replacement PortaPottie.

Wasn't there head sign that said don't step in anything soft. Another boater said you could twirl the package for distance. You could use a scissors or knife to release the contents and recycle the plastic. I use the porta potty with extra base.

Let me just say without going into detail that I have owned "Peregrine" for 13 years and never had to clean out the porta-potty.
And I stay on board 3-4 days a week.</font id="navy"></font id="size2"></font id="Comic Sans MS">

Dave... not fluent in French and in a hurry I seem to focus exclusively on the French instruction part and price tag ending up ruining more than a sunny day...

I've thought about using a large bucket of cat litter. Easily disposed and a lot less hassle than pumping the holding tank.

Same idea and a lot less costly... It is said that baby diapers contain similar material. BTW Kitty litter, two plastic bags and a bucket and you're infringing!!!

We carry Double Doodie on our cruises. We have been to places in the Canadian Gulf Islands where there are no pumpout facilities. Those bags/liners are a very good option and much less expensive than installing a macerator system for pumping overboard (which is what the bigger boats do ). Just put the bag in the toilet bowl, fold around the edge of the bowl and put the seat down.
