The preference for fore and aft facing has been illustrated by Graham's story. The other important point is that you need to be able to lean against something firm as you dress yourself again. If this is the door to the heads, then it needs a good solid catch because there will be a short period of time when both hands are likely to be occupied! It looks as though I'll have to fit my heads athwartships in SibLim as I did on Fantail. It was no issue in the latter, because there was very little space between the toilet and the locker on the opposite side, but I need to do some thinking about SibLim's arrangement, so that I don't end up hurtling across the boat.
I, too, will be using a composting toilet. And on moving boats, gentleman should always be seated, unless, that is, you wish to approach the toilet in an attitude of supplication!
