Well, sorry if that's too much information - simply a hangover from my military days when we marked one corner of a towel and used that as a 'working' flannel when operating in the field.

So what plans do others have for maintaining personal hygiene during their month afloat - or is this a subject best not talked about ? If so, I do hope you guys will be staying down-wind of me !!

BTW - I've heard people talk about using half-gallon pump-up plastic weedkiller sprays to get an economical shower, but I've never tried it. Could be ok to use in the cockpit on a nice warm day perhaps (?). But - another bit of gear to find a home for ...

I plan to wash once a week whether I need it or not.

Seriously though, the spray bottle works fine for me, a puny, half-boiled, mug full of warm water in there and I'm as clean as a whistle, soaped and rinsed, front back and sides. I feel so much better for it and it doesn't use up much water so I can "shower" regularly.

I also use the spray to rinse dishes, clean pesky salt off boat things, like piston hanks and blocks, and my beloved fishing reel.

I plan to allow 3litres of water per day with the safety factor built in by allowing for more days.
