This from our state DEP pump out program:
"The untreated sewage from two people on one boat can contribute the
same amount of bacteria to a harbor as the treated discharge from a
town of 10,000 people."
Let's see, about 70,000 people in Portland. The whole city's
bacterial output (after treatment) could be duplicated by 14 people?!
We sailors do tend to eat and drink rather heavily!
