When the gal of soapy water is used up add some*fresh hot water to the sprayer but this time use only clean water with no soap and rinse yourself off.

This comes in handy when traveling and you want to 'meter' your water useage. Just figure on 2 gals / shower. I have only done this when on the go. I don't see why you couldnt do it at the dock.
