That's a good idea, too, but I'm not sure if there's enough water in the sink for this.

I have a Lavac...a great unit but it's NOT a "low-flow". Basically, the more arm action you put into it, the better the results. Actually, perhaps that will protect me from the stinkiness...the fact that it's a "pressure wash" with every use!

EDIT: You reminded me that we are more fastidious on land than on board in some ways. We flush the toilet with water left over from the shower if it's "yellow". A bucket of bath water from a three-foot height gets things moving faster than a flush and keeps the appliance cleaner as well.

I wonder if I can put a gimballed bath on board....?
