One thing that we might want to consider is that it is very good
manners to keep the stench of our own holding tank from wafting into
neighboring boats.

How do you recommend doing this. I use KO, keep my vent clear, flush
the tank out after pumping the waste out, and it still has a nice aroma
under the right conditions. I think the wind needs to blow up the vent
and then it "exhales" some of the stink, so I don't think it happens
while in the slip, but I have smelled it when someone is pumping the
head and the wind is blowing back into the boat.

Reggie, I think this is a question for Peggy Hall. You might ask her.
