First, it's repusive to me to think a boater would even consider dumping a
sofa into the sea.

But, "dissassembling" can be fun. We were throwing out an old sofa, and we
started by throwing it off the balcony onto the back driveway. Then we
thought of taking it apart a bit so it would be easier to take to the
dump. Out came the axes, the sledgehammers, the chainsaw...we had a BALL!!
You could probably charge money: $.50 per hit or something. Then take the
pieces to the dump. Easy.

Gee. why not just throw it out at the launch ramp?
Make certain it's out far enough so it's still covered at low tide.
I'm sure no one would mind.

I was thinking of going into 40 foot or deeper water and heaving it over

In a few years the metal frame would be gone and of course the wood and
cloth would rot as well. It is an old sleep sofa and IMO, too hard to lug
back up the dock.

Finally someone is getting into the spirit of this.

a) that's moronic and possibly illegal
b) parts of the Patuxent River are 120+ feet deep.

You must be joking. I believe that all boaters are required to have a
sticker "MARPOL" for federal and international waters and a sticker for
state waters. I bet it is illegal. What's next dumping your used motor
oil - oh yea there is a sticker that says this is illegal too.

Sure...but post your address so those fellows on the Bay with trailer
boats and holding tanks can pump those tanks out on your front lawn.

Go ahead and dump it. By the looks of Isabel, the couch should end up in
Lake Erie by next weekend...where it would rapidly decompose from the
pollutants.

BTW...Maybe Isabel is headed towards Harry's hometown as punishment from the
Gods for his remarks that he hopes the next terrorist attack hits Naples,
FL.
