Captain Dave, first I love the title you thought up there, may I buy the rights??? anyways, there werent like chunks of crap floating in the water, it was just deemed "unsafe for public use" so when we got out in the middle of the lake, we just jumped in and rinsed off the bacteria or what not then after the day of sailing took some long showers. Concerning the coast guard, they still would have had a fit and a half, as we were launching some guy comes up to us and says "Don't get caught by the coast guards, they caught me just the other day and had a HUGE @$$ fit... good luck to ya though" so we would have been screwed, and glad to hear you enjoyed the story
