Sneaking the Holding Tank Overboard
Not to say I have ever done this; but how "common" is it to sneak some of your holding tank overboard when you shouldn't have pumped it. Sometimes sh.. just happens. Also I can think of a wide degree of how outside the regs you can be when doing this. The other day I was out and was sailing a course to take me out beyound the 3 miles limit; near as I could tell I was beyound the limit a long time before I got to the line on the chart that said I was legal to pump the tank.
