Short of opening your mouth and swallowing a piece, I doubt the fecal count
gets high enough in your average Bahamian anchorage to worry about it.

I've tried to stay out of this, but I can't. We have LectraSans and
I'm sure the output of our boat is not such that anyone would have any
health concerns about it.

There are places in the Bahamas that I would not want to swim in
and/or would use a holding tank in place of discharging.

I wouldn't want to swim in Nassau harbour. The harbour at Highborne
Cay and the one at Chub Cay are both very stagnant. Otherwise most of
the places that we've been we have had to be very careful anchoring
and swimming lest we be carried away from the boat by the current, and
there are some harbours where we have to be very careful to take the
current into account when docking or undocking.
