Elaine and list,

We can't believe that this topic comes up every year and that there
are so many of the Great Loop Cruise boaters on this List who think
that it is their right to be afforded the capability to dump their
raw sewage overboard where ever and whenever they wish if only to
save the cost of a bottle of cheap wine!!!

We can't believe that there are so many who will not take their boats
into Canada or all the other "No Discharge" areas of the Great Loop
because of these restrictions and will miss some of the most
beautiful and pristine boating areas of North America.

John & Judy
you are mischaracterizing the discussion that most of us are having here. I 
never advocated pumping any waste overboard. My issue is with the method of 
prevention required. I read the laws as saying you have to disconnect the 
head discharge hoses, that locking out the Y-valve is not sufficient. There 
have been several comments that that is not necessary, lock out is 
sufficient. Others say pulling head hoses is no big deal; it is a very big 
deal on my boat. So who is right here is the discussion, NOT whether it's OK 
to dump. I don't recall anyone advocating dumping.
