get older and the seas are rough it is hard to hit the small head,
but easy with the "bottle" (and when the holding tank gets full, it
is easier and safer to dump overboard)."

Now shame on you John! You're usually such a stickler for marine sanitation
laws. It's illegal to dump sewage overboard once it's been contained. If you
pee in a bottle, you're supposed to flush it down your holding tank and
dispose of it at an approved facility, or treat it with a Type I or II MSD
before discharging. Of course, if you're more than three miles offshore,
it's legal to dump raw sewage.
OTOH, why don't you just sit down? :-)

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is
weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
