April Fools you bunch of riff raff sailors!
My heart was in my throat. The way the Fed Gov behaves these days, I could believe anything. especially if it were required by the EPA under the clean water act.

Got me. But then again, I just had to certify my holding tank with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. $15 for two years and nobody even looks at the tank to see if it's installed in compliance or not. Just give us the money and go away, please.

First chance to check this while we have been on a week cruise. Just caught a signal coming into Apalachicola. About the only reason I stay a Boat US member its to stay current on proposed boating bills. Some of them are way too over reaching. Georgia just started allowing live aboard again this last year because it was impossible to enforce their silly law they implemented because of what happened in three Savanna area.

It may be an April Fool prank and a good one, but it would certainly be a way to weed out some of the really marginal and inept boaters that happen to be in the money and no brains category...
