Hey gang! On Gypsy, we use a "Pet" potti which, as mentioned already, uses a plastic bag type system. The bags available from Pet are bio-degradable and have a little dab of a chemical in the bag. West Marine has the Pet in the catalog. Works great for us and stows in the V-birth just like the...

A bit on the female side of this trip. Most of the waterway we have traveled is a lot like the lower Cumberland River, in Tennessee. The difference is the swampy land and Cypress trees, which are really beautiful, lots! of Coots and Bald Eagles. As the sun goes down it really is a beautiful...
