[Public-List] heads

    One of the problems is there are too few pump-out stations. The 
nearest one to me is nearly an hour away from my pier. I have a 5 gallon 
jerry can I use as a holding tank. I just carry it up to the house and 
dump it in a toilet, or, while sailing, in the head at whatever marina I 
am in. So far no one has complained. I don't know about Canada. 
Personally, I would not dump sewage in a river or creek, probably not in 
a large lake, but  in wider waters, where there are no handy pumpouts, I 
might be less fastidious. Around here there are creeks where shellfish 
cannot be taken because of  coliform from wildlife, who have no permits!
