On Spirit of Adventure it was preferable to pee off the back in rough
weather rather than use the head.
We had 3 point tethers on. The life lines were up to chest height on the
stern.
In the head (between 1st and 2nd bulkheads) you could get thrown around in
bad weather. One time I got tossed across the gear locker (where head was)
toilet seat and all. Fortunately no injuries.
Everything is relative, there are pros and cons and a right way to do most
things safely.

Yup.? A boat lost a guy in the 2012 Gulfport to Pensacola race.? 4-6 foot
seas, 20+ knots.? Came up to pee, fell overboard.? No PFD.? Fortunately, it
was a clear night and one of the watch standers was an experienced pilot.?
He looked astern at the sky and stars and was able to guide the boat back to
the guy.? My buddy on the boat said they only lost 3 1/2 minutes picking him
up.? Now there's a racer!
