Default how do you pump out the holding tank?

What is the point of having a holding tank and pumping all of your
waste matter into the sea? Is it me? Am I nuts? Or is the idea not
to have the waste properly disposed of ashore? I thought the UK idea
of direct waste discharge into the sea was bad enough, but now I'm
beginning to wonder! 3 miles out? Jeez!



See those big ships? They don't have a holding tank...(c;

Little boaters produce .000000001% of the **** a whale produces.

Humans are so queer. IT"S RECYCLED if you don't fill it with nasty
chemicals! It has been for millions of years!


If the Japanese get their way, there won't be any whales!

Probably much more significant is the thought of 1500 million Chinese with
their junks, all equipped with thunderboxes at the stern.

Why are we in the Western world so obsessed with such matters I wonder?

Your small boat legislation must have created a tidy living for some folks!
There will be a few entrepreneurs on our tiny crowded island here in UK who
can't wait for us to catch up!
