Saroj's Solution. Re: [Rhodes22-list] Exploding PortaPotties

[Bill Effros]

To amuse myself, I also sculled with the rudder on a becalmed day.  
After I could see it would work, I wondered how long a person could keep 
it up, and tracked my progress with a gps.  I did it for almost an hour, 
and traveled almost a nautical mile without ever getting really tired.  
But I did get bored, so I went on to other things to amuse myself.
