Peggie, does that mean that the simple act of peeing overboard under the
cover of darkness is illegal?

Nope..."direct deposit" from above the water or while in it is legal,
both under cover of darkness and in broad daylight. It's only illegal if
it goes into any kind of container or installed device before it's sent
overboard.

So secure the bucket to the sternrail after first removing the bottom.
And then there's the "Spronk" head for privacy on a multihull !

I bet our Harbour Police might have something to say about 'direct
deposits' from above in broad daylight....and 'real' marine heads are
still legal here for the time being....although our skipper 'mooned' a
hugh cruise ship to the delight of the passengers while it was preparing
to leave. The boys in blue must have been munching on donuts that day.

If you mean toilets that discharge directly overboard, you can't be
anywhere in the US, or on any inland Canadian waters.

Class does have a way of making itself known, doesn't it?

You are right as usual.
We sail the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia.

Yes, it does, and you've proven it in this thread. Thanks for the 'direct
deposit' info. Some of us folks don't have heads on our boats!

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

Not to run this subject into the ground, er, water, but wouldn't directly
depositing toilet paper get you for littering if nothing else?

Excuse me, for nitpicking, but I am curious about the interpretation. In
our boat the rule is: do not go to the rail for peeing. Pee instead into
a small plastic bottle ("duck" we call it) by staying firmly inside the
boat and then pour the liquid over the rail. So does this safety measure
make it illegal?

Yes! You read her post. She was perfectly clear on this aspect of dumping.

What I enjoy doing when I get boarded for a 'safety check' and they check
my head also, is say, "Excuse me sir, but I've got to take a ****." I remove
my shorts and shirt, jump into the water and let her rip. There ain't a thing
in the world they can do about it.
