When I was wintering in the Caribbean running charter boats and before watermakers were cheap and compact, our routine for getting clean would be to jump over the side, get out, lather up with Joy dish soap. jump back in to rinse and then rinse the salt off with a kettle full of water. Great feeling! We'd do the same offshore, except we'd drag a bucket over the side and dump it over our head.
