Larry ,, according the the REI, etc web sites that sell the bags; the bag
will decompose in 5 months. If this is wrong? Tell me.

Truth be told: I **** in a bucket and throw it near the big Hinkley moored
nearby. Hinkley and Stinkley sounds nice together.

But the USCG will fine someone if they come on board and find a head with
direct discharge. So, trying to do the right thing without spending a huge
amount of money ... the whole holding tank idea is so nuts on a small
sailboat. With a large boat, there is room to place the tank, the pump, the
pump out, etc.

I just thought this was a good idea, or at least a plan.

@trndny02:

These fully
biodegradable bags-familiar to dog and cat owners-contain special
powder (called Pooh-Powder) that turns urine into a gel and
deodorizes the waste. The special enzymes in the gel also kill
bacteria and promote the breakdown of waste and bags. After using the
bag (one bag can be used five or six times), we simply seal it into
the separate biodegradable pouch supplied with each kit. Then it can
be deposited in the trash for disposal at landfills.

WAY too much information while I'm eating my breakfast!......(c;

So, instead of crapping over the side, which makes the shrimp and crabs
fat and happy campers on-the-spot, we crap in a bag full of chemicals,
turn bio-degradeable human waste into a chemical soup that's preserved
with formaldehyde (or some other soup so it won't rot in a thousand
years) and bury it in a landfill where it will be remembered for
centuries by historians and archeologists who discover it while
excavating for ancient treasures. Have I got that right?

Why do humans think they're so "special" that their **** isn't simply
consumed by the same scavenging sea life that all the other sea**** is
consumed by IF LEFT ALONE AND NOT TURNED INTO A CHEMICAL WASTE DISASTER?!

Humans taking a crap makes a guilt trip that destroys the planet. Whales
taking a crap that weighs in tons, not ounces, doesn't create a guilt
trip that destroys the planet. How stupid....and unnecessary. **** in
the bucket and dump it overboard to feed the planet....NOT IN PLASTIC
BAGS, PLEASE, biodegradeable or otherwise!

And remember......ALWAYS **** TO LEE! "AIM HIGH - AIR FORCE"

See that big freighter headed out to sea? He doesn't have a holding
tank, either! Don't swim in his wake....hee hee.
