Peggy What is the name of your book?
It's called "Get Rid of Boat Odors--A Guide to Marine Sanitation Systems
and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor." The publisher is Seaworthy Publications (my sig includes a link to it on their site). And is it available in Canada? I don't know if it's on the shelf anywhere in Canada yet, but Amazon has it. You can also buy it directly from my publisher...or, if you'd like a signed copy, from the online store on the sailboatowners.com site (they sell it, I sign and mail it for them) at http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327 Thanks for asking!

A new liveaboard friend of mine bought it last month and recommends it highly. It's posted at http://www.nauticalmind.com , a very good Toronto bookshop. If I review it for our club newsletter, I will forward you the review. You should consider appearing at the Toronto International Boat Show this January. It's a vast event and you'll soon learn how many fans you have on Lake Ontario, where we endeavour to keep the black out of the blue. 'Cause we drink it, eventually. G R. |

Peggy...here on the east coast, we discharge the heads through the hull.
If I bought a modest sized sailboat inland that might have a chemical toilet with a pumpout fitting on the deck... how hard would it be to convert to a thru hull discharge? Would I have to tear the old head out and buy a new one? |

Call Boat US or West Marine, give them your credit card info and order a Lectra-San. Install it between your toilet and thru hull." Thanks for a great book Peggy. |

It would be if the boat has a marine toilet. But unfortunately, that wouldn't work to dump a permanently installed portapotty (which is what he asked about) 'cuz a Lectra/San can only accept a maximum of 1 gallon at a time.

Canadian East Coast no dumping regulations, Was:Peggy What is the name of your book?
Hi Don (and anyone else that interested), in case you haven't heard, we may
see some changes to that here soon in the Bras d'Or Lakes. I quote from a web site (link included below): "Canada Shipping Act Designation Improving the water quality in the Bras d'Or Lake is a population health issue that is being addressed by a number of people and organizations through different projects and initiatives. One of these initiatives is a proposal that the Bras d'Or Lake be designated a non-discharge zone for boating sewage. This means that the dumping of sewage from boats could be prohibited possible as early as the fall of 2004 - if the application is approved."

Oh Oh!
I saw a table set up at the Halifax Boat Show a couple of years ago that indicated you were headed that way. I can honestly say I have never seen sewage pumped from a boat. I wouldn't know where to find a pumpout station in this area. The Mirage I sailed on had the Y valve, but the hose to the holding tank was cutoff and the tank sealed. Funny...I always smelled something odd down below and when looking at slightly translucent holding tank could see it was about 1/8 filled. I wonder if fumes leaked out on occasion?

The boat I sail on has a pitiful little 12 gallon Jabsco holding tank that
came with the boat (1973). It isn't connected, the hose from the toilet goes straight to the thru hull. The general consensus around here is that there aren't enough pumping stations on the lakes. There are pumpouts at Baddeck, Iona/Grand Narrows & St. Peters. It won't be a problem for our Great Lakes visitors and for most American visitors, but it's certainly going to be a problem for our east coast Canadian visitors. "Don White" wrote in message ...

A lack of any enforcement of marine sanitation laws there--even a total absence of any pumpout facilities--does not change the fact that federal law prohibits the discharge of raw untreated toilet waste from vessels in ALL U.S. waters within 3 miles of the coastline.

A lack of any enforcement of marine sanitation laws there--even a total absence of any pumpout facilities--does not change the fact that federal law prohibits the discharge of raw untreated toilet waste from vessels in ALL U.S. waters within 3 miles of the coastline. But a lack of any enforcement doesn't make it legal. The applicable federal law is 40 CFR 140.1-5, btw.

Yes, Halifax is getting a series of three sewage treatment plants to finally
treat its sewage. Sydney, where I live, is getting one as well, should be up and running by next fall. Low tide on a hot still day tends to be worse than "high tide". ;-) -- Ken Heaton & Anne Tobin Cape Breton Island, Canada kenheaton AT syd DOT eastlink DOT ca wrote in message ...

But a lack of any enforcement doesn't make it legal. Wrong again. It is not a matter of enforcement at all. The "donut holes" are areas that are more than 3 miles from the nearest land. They are shoreward of the boundary line, within the waters of the State of Alaska and well within what anyone would call the "inside passage." It is perfectly legal to pump sewage in these areas. Law was recently made to prohibit large passenger vessels (read cruise ships) from dumping untreated sewage in these areas but for other than commercial passenger vessels above a certain size it is perfectly legal. As a matter of fact you may sail from just north of Seattle all the way to Glacier Bay on the inside passage and never break the law so long as you observe the location of the donut holes while in SE Alaska.
