I was really surprised when we visited BVI for the first time this past February that pumpout facilities did not exist. At home, we are accustomed to pumping out our boat every time we get fuel.

Our charter company in BVI had our boat configured so that flushing the head resulted in the waste going right out into the water, not into the holding tank. The low point of our trip was seeing a poop float past while we were anchored and swimming at Jost.

So I am all for this law.
