A friend told me, who was there, (and this is secound hand) The Canadian Police are OVERWHELMED just with the drunks, not to worry about the discharge. True, false?? See you in Paradise! Capt.

Don't you believe it! We sat right next to a boat up in the North Channel when the "authorities" came aboard the boats and dropped die in toilets and one boat flushed out red die. He was taken away. We later learned that he got fined big time and the boat chained until changes were made. By the way, the boater was not from the USA. Canada does not want your poop!

Elaine and list, Elaine, thanks for finally weighing in on this important topic. Skipper Bob had a very easy to implement method of switching back and forth to meet the laws and allow overboard discharge where permitted. Perhaps on another post you will mention the book and pertinent pages for those interested. Your statement that "Canada does not want your poop" is a bit limiting, neither does anyone else, particularly in most of the waters of the Great Loop where such discharge is also prohibited. 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 did the entire Great Loop with only a 30 gallon holding tank and had no problems finding pump out stations (a few were not working or not working properly but we made out OK anyway) -- we simply pumped out every time we fueled up, but then again we have gasoline engines. We also spent many more nights in marinas in order to see the land sights versus most who anchor out almost all of the time. 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.
