Even if I can't hear the exhaust, I can smell the

EVERYBODY! Unfortunately you rarely see it. They know that
downwind from everybody exposes them to assholes who anchor upwind
of everybody and run generators.

There are plenty of cruising sailboats running the diesel aux at night
to charge batteries. It's not just generators. Frankly I've never
found fumes to be a big problem. The noise from on deck Hondas is
the real issue.


This can be an issue. Funny, usually I run my Honda in the morning...hot
shower for the Admiral.
