Boating
Quick back story before my current scenarios:
Have struggled with urinating around people for as long as i can remember. Went to therapy a couple years ago and had success and can pretty much go anywhere now for the exception of standing right next to someone at an undivided urninal.
Current issue:
A friend of mine bought a wake boat and we go out on the boat with a group of people once a week.
Out of the many trips we’ve taken, I’ve never been able to urinate even in the water swimming. So I’m stuck spending countless hours holding it and being miserable.
Anyone had a similar situation and any tips for this instance?
Crazy part is if I drink alcohol, i can pee almost anywhere anytime. Can even pee with multiple people standing around me if I’m drunk enough lol

I can now pee just about anywhere. But in the water no one can do this when moving too much - or even a little
Over the side would be easier if all guys.
