Don't do this!
Trash dumpers. They have been identified. I hope no one does this on Winnipesaukee.

I remember going on my first and last cruise, from NY to Bermuda about 35 years ago. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep so I went out on deck about 3am and saw the crew dumping trash bags off the back of the ship. I was astonished to see that, but I guess it was common practice back then.

The kids (15 & 16 according to the article) turned themselves in on Friday 5/3. The 15 year old was driving the boat. The penalty can be up to 3 yrs & 50k.

morons...
These boaters were particularly stupid... they were waving to the drone that filmed the whole thing, so they knew (or suspected) they were on camara...

Back in the 70’s wifey and I were in Cancun…..thought it would be fun to rent a jeep and drive south on the beach to explore a l little.
Mile after mile the beach was totally covered with garbage. We found out the city barged the garbage out to sea and dumped it |

I can understand that. Years and years ago we went to Acapulco and the water was so nice but we couldn't understand why nobody else was swimming in it. Not sure if that was why we got so sick but it probably didn't help.
