Hey Joey,

My understanding is that if you are out in the Atlantic, once you are
a certain distance from shore (I’m not sure how many miles it is…)
you can dump your waste overboard.

I’ve never sailed the Atlantic, but would love to someday. Here on
the Great Lakes it is definitely not OK to dump waste overboard.

I’ve wondered before what happens to waste on a boat. So you pump it out at dump it at a facility, like a RV. Are the rules different if you are out at sea? Is it considered littering if you have to get rid of waste in the middle of the Atlantic?

Tillerman-

How would you live aboard a Laser? I think it’d be a bit cramped. LOL

After reading this account of the joys of living aboard I am finally beginning to see the attraction. All these years I have been missing such pleasures …

Dear S. Blew,

Really the only reason I was there was to see how it looked when we poured it out. What was your excuse? I was always amazed at how tall and lush the grass was there. Wonder how that spot in the bush looks now.

Anally yours,

Your hauling crap sort of reminds me of the ol’ cabin days – when we used to empty the portapotty and dig a hole and bury it in the bush…why was it that all three of us headed into the bush to take care of business?? hmmmmm…..the ol’ anal fixation we are famous for?? ha ha !

We may flood out here and it is raining as I write this….luvderubbla…glub..glub

Just think I have lived?? all these years and not had all these experiences. Oh well, I’ll be content to let you live it and I’ll read about it!

Thanks for the comment.

Sounds like you guys might need to keep your heads above water too – if the Red River keeps rising. (40 Ford is from Manitoba where the Red River is rising to flood stage.) You might need to buy a sailboat too. Remember, everyone laughed at Noah – you would be in with good company.

It takes a lot of work to keep one’s head above the water
