#### Happens!

7/18  Starport Marina in Port Severn  and a Big Mess Happens!

      When traveling on a boat, you have to get what is called a pump out, which  is emptying the holding tank (toilet waste!)  This is done at the marinas, where they connect a "hose" into the top of the holding tank on  the side of the boat.  The fitting of the hose has to be applied just right so the suction can take place.  A young deck hand was eager to help us, so she found the right fitting, but unfortunately did not apply enough pressure to hold it in place.  All of the sudden the hose jumped out of the fitting and an explosion took place!  The waste flew out all over her and the boat!  It was a very stinky  mess!  Of course we were mortified and the traumatized teenager asked her boss if she could quickly jump in  the water!  After cleaning everything and everybody up, we all had a good laugh!  I don't think she will let that happen ever again!  I did  not pause to take pictures,  though!
