GL: U.S. boats in Canadian waters

[Bob DeGroot, DCH]

Throw away the parts? Do they have any idea how difficult it is to get
parts, including hoses for these boats much less route them through
bulkheads. And not to have spare clamps, hoses and tools on board is just
asking for trouble. That is a huge safety risk but if that's their law, then
we'll pass on Champlain and on Canada if need be. I can just see the
freighters throwing their plumbing and tools away. What are they thinking?

After removing the parts must you throw them away and not possess the tools
(Clamps, screw driver) or a hose to reinstall them on board.  Duh!  Do they
think that folks won't disconnect and then just connect at 2:00 AM, dump and
disconnect at 2:05 AM.  If someone is going to dump overboard they will
figure out a system to do it.
KISS because cheaters are going to cheat one way or another.

An Example:

I have a boat in a marina that knows more than the US Coast Guard or anyone
else for that matter and the use of a LectraSan is not allowed. That is just
fine, my name is not on the marina sign.  Now that being said there are
boats that have people on them almost every weekend and have not had their
heads pumped out in months if not years.  Any guess where that is going?
