So, check this which was in a California state boater's guide:



Does anyone buy this?
Its increasingly becoming a potentially serious problem, especially now that most harmful bacteria etc. are becoming resistant to most of the current available anti-biotics. What is happening is that pathogens are becoming 'resistant' before they 'jump to new species' which usually makes them even more 'potent' when they infect new opportunistic species.

I read a number of years ago of a study of mutating frogs in the middle of nowhere some 200 miles from the nearest city. Turned out it was caused from hormones used in woman's cosmetics being washed off every evening and being reapplied the next morning. It's amazing the amount of product being consumed. I believe it.

I don't buy it. I would like to see one, real, documented case of a mutated fish in San Francisco Bay due to people taking prescription drugs peeing into the bay. I think this is more hysteria fueled by one or two lab experiments and extrapolated out. So, more regulations, restrictions, taxes, government studies, etc., etc. People believe all kinds of crazy stuff. Key word is believe.

Frogs using makeup. What a strange and wonderful world we live in. :D

STU: You are a marvel of informational archives! I am going through learning on head installation, and proper venting loops (looking for Peggy archives :O) and this should fit the bill.

Glad to help. Phil moved Peggie's "archives" to Shared forums, here: http://forums.catalina.sailboatowners.com/forumdisplay.php?f=31 Go down to the bottom and expand the "Show Threads" to the Beginning. But really, the links I already provided are pretty much her "Greatest Hits," but there's plenty of reading there. Good luck.
