We cruise all over the place and are on the California Delta. It's a 1000 miles of waterway that goes all the way to the golden gate in San Francisco and out to sea. Yes I could relate to almost everything you talked about here.<br /><br />Have a fabulous day. ☺Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-63335235286725900862014-08-06T18:20:29.836-07:002014-08-06T18:20:29.836-07:00Glad you liked it Rhonda - thanks for sharing on F...Glad you liked it Rhonda - thanks for sharing on FB! I just made the wave background a couple of days in PowerPoint. It was really easy to do and turn into a picture.<br /><br />In terms of discharge in NZ, from what I understand, you need to be at least 500 meters away from land and in water 5 meters or more deep, which rules most anchorages out. There are other rules in regards to proximity to marine farms etc. Portable chemical toilets are a good option for smaller boats who don't have a holding tank or don't have room for a holding tank. There are some regions in NZ which have stricter regulations and I suspect NZ overall will become much stricter over time.

As for the toilet, I thought holding tanks were required in anchorages. I don't want to ask any more questions though. I have been "looking" at blogs more lately. I don't know when you added it, but I love the wave background. I am sharing this post at my new FB page. Rhonda Albomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455873487349816911noreply@blogger.com
