Rick, I hear ya. Been in the "poop" business for 30yrs --- long enough to get real cynical about the whole water quality issue. They always go after the individual(boater) before the fat cats. Just was making the point that Type 1 was not the panacea so commonly voiced. Personally it seems like it is just one more thing to break and spend boat bucks to fix. Makes sense for some given the variety of boaters on the list, not so much for others. Bob PDQ 36 Peace

No, not a rant toward Bob or anybody else. Just at the general situation. The earth is full of the above. When you go for a swim you leave a trail of dead skin and all the tiny creatures that feed on it, plus quite a bit of mucus. Look at water from a pond, river, bay, ocean with a microscope and be amazed at the amount of little creepy crawlies swimming about. Massive amounts of plant matter die and decay and in the case of the Everglades wash down the keys and reefs (A government study decided the reefs were starving to death because all the development in the 'glades has prevented this stuff from feeding the reefs). I could rant on and on, but I'm not. Sometimes I think the people who seem so vehemently opposed to Lectra/Sans want one, but can't afford it.
