We were surprised when we first got to the Marina that there is
no place to pump waste. Turns out most of the marinas here
have no place to get rid of waste. Most of those boats on docks and and
on hooks are dumping their waste directly into the water. (helpful Tip
#1: it's not cool to splash each other when getting into kayaks) This
explains the stink on windless days as we walked toward the
restaurant.....We asked the liveaboards how they deal with the
situation, most simply shrugged. One guy told us he dumps urine but poops
in a zip lock bag.... Many a night has passed when Worm, Rash and I
contemplated just how this guy managed to accomplish this, given the size
of his butt and the relatively small size of even a gallon sized zip
lock bag... Rash recently installed a toilet in his boat ....with clear
pipes. He told me it's quite entertaining watching his poop move through
the tubing. Sometimes he'd leave it suspended or whoosh it quickly
through.... don't judge sometimes the nights are long and most of us
have no TV!
