Without
a doubt, that old rusty
coffee can or half of a
plastic clorox bottle
used as a boat bailer
always seems to be the
only thing handy when it
comes to relieving
yourself when stuck out
in a boat for hours at a
time. And just the shear
thought of what has been
in that rusty old coffee
can will often make you
want to "hold it" a bit
longer just to prolong
the inevitable of having
to handle that can to do
your business.
Well, thanks to modern
day technology, some of
the latest coffee cans
are the PERFECT PEE CAN
as well as a good boat
bailer. First of all,
its plastic and that
means NO rust from
saltwater or the "other
saltwater."
Second,
and the best feature of
all, it has a HANDLE on
the outside of the can
so you never have to
stick a thumb or finger
inside the edge of the
can for handling. This
makes it very sanitary
for everyone on board to
use. And the built in
handle makes it easier
to handle for holding or
for rinsing out. And
lastly, it makes a great
bailer that can be
"squashed" against the
bottom of the boat for
getting a good scoop.
A
very insignificant
drawback is the lid.
Although it does snap on
tight, its not
waterproof by any means
and will leak if tipped
over. That's not really
an issue unless you plan
to take your liquids
back to the dock for
disposal. Just watch it.
