New Concerns
Sleeping on a boat you get lots of new things to think about that never occurred to you before. Like the rafts. Because if you’re anchoring off the coast of someplace, the only way to get to land is to swim if you don’t have a raft and the water around Hanplage is so dirty you don’t even want to piss in it. But I do, off course. Off the back of the boat into the water right where the raft is supposed to be. Because the boat I sleep on doesn’t have a raft.
It doesn’t have a toilet either, which happens to be mostly why I piss off the side of the boat. It’s a bit sketchy in the daytime when the water taxi and neighbours are about. Though boat people rarely hang about the top of their boat too much.
Now the really intuitive of you will be wondering how I manage to take a shit on the boat. Hugo (whose friend’s boat this is) is a bit of a night owl so it was a couple of days before I managed to coordinate my onboat-time with his and introduce the subject of defecation. He introduced me to the blue bucket with the rounded edge comfortable for sitting on. Err… I don’ think so. I can just picture a water taxi coming past as I pour a bucket of shit into the sea. And doesn’t toilet paper float?
So now I get up every morning and piss where the fucken raft is supposed to be and then blow on the fucken horn so that the water taxi can hurry the fuck up so that I can get to the shore and shit in the CVD.
Changes your point of view on life (and life’s luxuries), doesn’t it?
