I tell people before we leave the dock to use the toilet at the Marina. Using the toilet is an emergency procedure and #2 is not authorized. Problem being is that the majority of our friends are in their mid 70's (as we are) and most have prostate problems or bladder problems for the women. Perhaps I should hand out Depends as they board. I tell every one to be seated during departure and arrival. It seems to work for leaving the slip but I have to be more forceful when we return. When people come to my boat for the first time, they predictably ask, "How do you get that boat in and out of here?" They must feel the need to help me get the boat back into the slip.I simply tell people no pooping and sit down and shut up while maneuvering. It seems to work well and limits the numbers of guests we have to entertain.
