With a water tank and pump in the bow, under the "V" berth, a propane H.W.
heater that can be set up (stowed below while under way) on the forward
deck or on the dock side (see cabela's propane, stainless camping H.W.
heater) piping running to the cockpit with a cockpit tent. environmentally
easy camp soap (available in bottles at most back packer stores) using the
cockpit with the drain open as a shower "tub". Get naked with your honey,
take a shower together, saves water! : -) Also your wife will be more
willing to go out on those long expeditions. Also a marine head will entice
her to stay out with you, along with a dock side pump out connection to
make it easy on us!

well, when you sail through petersburg (halfway between juneau
and ketchikan) give me a call and i'll let you use one of my
slips and i'll give you a tour of town. we only day sail north
out of the 'burg. the next suitable anchorage to the north in
frederick sound is about 30 miles away. we're in fjord country
with lots of squirrelly winds coming down off the glaciers,
ask my forgiving wife about my ability to predict the weather.
we have fairly dramatic tides, plus 24' to minus 4', and with
the islands this can create some substantial currents. i've
recently embarrassed myself right in front of town by raising
full main and lapper, filled them both, and proceeded to sail
backwards against the current, damn, after 16 years i thought
i could read a tide book.
