Living abroad

2 kinds of Divers...those who pee in their wetsuit and those who lie about it.

 

Hey FWIW.....I used to keep track of the 'top 5 places to retire outside of the US'.....The top spot always seemed to be between Belize and Uruguay but IIRC, Panama, Colombia and Nicaragua frequently made the list.

Also found this that might be of interest for you and the misses.

Fact. I don't dive, but the ability to generate a little extra warmth is a gift during a chilly dawn patrol surf session.

 

Um... that isn't how energy...

nevermind.

 

But it is how a wet suit works...assuming you do it early

 

As for the OP... I've found that it can be very dangerous.
We don't speak the language.
Very often we find that we've committed some faux pas that we weren't aware of.
They can be very vindictive if angered.
They have strange customs that make absolutely no sense to us.

OH wait.

I thought the topic was "Living with A broad".

 

The fishies probably gobbled your whole Lincoln Memorial Log before you could reach the shore.

 

A buncha guys trying to tell others to be open-minded in this thread yet when it comes to taking a dump in the ocean all of a sudden everyone's judging.

Not cool guys................not cool.

 

She found strangers living in her house. Now she can't get them out.

That's a little different, and imho a lot crazier than just some homeless person shacking up in your house while you're away.

 

You guys crack me up. When I'm out on the boat I rarely use the toilet. Why bother, you've got the biggest bidet in the world right off the stern... Cuts down on TP usage, don't have to worry about holding tanks.....plus jumping in first thing in the morning is a GREAT hangover cure...just don't take a shit at slack tide...

 

Isn't the toilet just a hole inside the cabin?

 

Um, no, it pumps into a holding tank...at least on my boat. When the tank is full you have to run the macerator to pump it into the ocean. My way takes out a few steps.

 

That's fine. You're out in deep water surrounded. Wading into the ocean, dropping a deuce and then trying to beat it back to shore carries more risk.

Well, I've done it off of the beach too. Damn coconuts, when you have to go, you have to go....I was snorkeling one time and had to take a shit....the fish went wild for it....LMAO...

 

Is macerator a technical sounding term for what is essentially, a blender?

-jim

 

I don't think a blender pumps fluid quite as fast but it does have a chopper system in it. Basically, a blender combined with a fluid pump.

I can tell her several ways to get them out. All involve hiring a lawyer shortly after it but they'll be out. I mean if you have to hire a lawyer to help prove they are illegally living in your property then while you are hiring the lawyer you might as well make the money you are spending entertaining.

 

That is a very disturbing mental picture.
