Awesome, glad to see that it's working out. I'm not ruling out making the switch.

Although it's possible to do so, I would not use human waste on anything I was planning to grow and eventually eat. Flower beds, sure. Yeah, some kind of composting toilet sure sounds appealing. I just can't seem to get around the space restrictions. I still need to measure the dimensions of...

@Kris Cringle Have you emptied it yet? Did you just bag and bin the contents or did you pour any bleach in? I've read certain accounts that you're supposed to bleach the contents to kill any remaining bacteria before tossing in a dumpster.

Refresh my memory- What are you using for "media?" Is there a method for agitating if the motor or power fails such as an emergency knob? Is there any risk of liquid spillage while sailing if the container is say, 2 gallons (out of 2.4 gallons) full? That thing is mighty tempting. I'd love to...

I'm sorry, but that's not how Maryland works.

Now I have this image of you sailing into a squall line uttering that battle cry.

My original plan was to install a composting toilet and remove and replace the holding tank with another 20 gallon fresh water tank for a total of about 80 gallons of fresh water. Unfortunately, there is a large necessary locker behind the toilet and every single model that I looked at would...

Dude every time you post I hear in my head "Leeroyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Jenkinnnnnnnnnnns!" battle cry from the YT video.  I know most of the Fudds here won't find that video humorous but it cracks me up every time.  It makes it so difficult to take you seriously. :)

While in Pulpit Harbor, a local sailing couple informed me that Mainers typically pump overboard while in the open Penobscot Bay due to the high rate of water exchange and proximity to the ocean. They stated that most people would not discharge overboard in places like Camden, Rockport, Rockland...

Thanks for providing that. Very interesting. I had no idea there were "incinerating toilets!"

The bay is a little weird. It's NDZ for black water because there is nowhere that you are 3nm away from anything but gray water is allowed...except in the NNDZWRMITT (No-No-Discharge Zone, we really mean it this time!) Periodically the Maryland General Assembly takes up potential legislation...

Please post the ordinance from the Annapolis City gov't.  A search comes up empty except for two threads on CF and Sailnet, neither of which cite the relevant ordinance.  All they say is that some officious busybody asked them what type of head they had, and then told them that they could only...

In much of the Chesapeake, yes. There are a few "NDZ's" that are absolutely zero discharge of any kind, such as Herring Bay. They're marked on the charts.

What @kent_island_sailor said. Totally legal.  Either this guy was confusing it with a Lectra-San or he was lying to you because the harbormaster wants the pump out fees. If everyone had a composting head, what would they do for money?
