You sure it was sewage? It might have been bilgewater, or something
out of his cooler. Did you smell it?


Certainly not. There were gallons being pumped... Since it was a glass
boat the bilgewater should be clean (unlike a rust bucket's bilge :-P)

Bing!!

We don't have many holding tanks here. It's totally illegal to empty a
holding tank within 2(??) miles of the shore.

I suspect that I would cough loudly. After that it would depend on the
appearance of the individual. If he looked like he could kick the crap out
of me, then I would smile politely and say "Nice boat!". If he looked like
a weasel, then I would politely ask if he was aware that pumping out a
holding tank carried a large fine.

Of course, hindsight is a great thing. In reality, most of us would walk on
because we need time to sift the information.

I don't follow - are you saying its illegal to dump a holding tank, but it is
legal to direct discharge?

Yes! Although local bye-laws may(rarely) make direct discharge illegal.
It will depend on the area. If you are in a drying, fishing harbour, with a
12m tide, that flushes into the Atlantic twice a day, then having a pee
isn't going to cause a problem. However, if you are in a marina that has
lock gates, then things are completely different.

If it was sewage, you could smell it from five docks away, dumbass.
