My good friend the pail

Quietly sitting aft on Selune is our third crew member. Sturdy and reliable, he is always here for me when I need him.

When nature calls, he answers the call. While some enjoy leaning over the ocean, he keeps me safe and my pants dry.

When it’s time for more serious business, the pail remains a comforting companion. The boat’s head is warm and inviting, but the pail offers a more spacious alternative and a moment of calm and contemplation amid the rolling waves.

He also proves his worth when the catch of the day comes aboard. Our pail holds the entrails without complaint, making the cleanup a breeze and keeping the boat fresh.

When my stomach gets queasy during the night watch, he is there for a comforting chat. Dinner being a few hours ago, our conversation is of little substance, but words are not necessary when you understand each other.

With my good friend the pail, life on board Selune is a little more comfortable and a lot less messy. Thank you from the bottom of my bowels.
