[Public-List] temporary holding tank

[gordon white via Public-List]

    Well, my experience on the Bay is (1) in 57 years I've never had 
anyone stop me and inspect my system, though I have been stopped and 
inspected for flares. (Live across the Piankatank River from the  
Gwynn's Island USCG station)

(2) I have understood that a porta-pottie was acceptable and that if the 
thru-hull was sealed with an electrical tie or the handle to the Y-valve 
was removed you were legal. How about small runabouts with no head?

     Nearest  pump-out to me is at least 12 or more miles in a place I 
almost never go and only one of the pump-out stations in this end of the 
county actually works. Works for me to haul the honey-pot up to the 
house and dump it in the septic system. I am not likely to go into 
Canadian waters except in a charter.

     My ethic is to keep the Bay clean, but jumping through unreasonable 
hoops for the green police, when I am keeping it clean is more than I 
can manage.
