T&T: potti-patrol

[JHWardJr at aol.com]

I certainly realize that I am being a little pissy (I know the reaction  many 
have to being admonished), but I am glad this is being discussed by several  
participants.  This person had to pay $80 to pump out- that's pretty steep  
and not a normal deal.  This marina should be ashamed for being such a  
predator.  At my marina, it's included in the slip fee and STILL almost no  one does 
it.  Any transient - also free.  Other respondees have come  up with 
rationalizations to pump overboard that are just that - it's wrong and  you know it and 
you should clean up your act.  Seriously, doo-doo in the  water and complaints 
about how dirty it is?!  Look in the mirror.
 
My last post on this; I got other issues to resolve.  Please,  everyone, be 
kind to our waterways.  In spite of the attitude some have  about this - the 
rules still apply to all of us.  We police ourselves or  someone will do it for 
us.
 
Regards, Jim

I paid  $80 for a pump out in Palm Beach, the most I've ever
paid.  But to  make a blanket statement you should never pump overboard is (I
believe) not  realistic
