Our Polynesian Roots
Thousands of years ago Austronesian seafarers mastered the design
and construction of blue water capable multihull sail boats. They used
these boats to explore and colonize vast reaches of the Pacific and Indian
Oceans. On April 2, 2019 we will be graced by the visit of Mimi George,
one of the world’s leading researchers of this ancient technology. The

Puget Sound is now a no-discharge zone for vessel sewage
The EPA has established a No Discharge Zone (NDZ) for Puget Sound and certain adjoining waters. An NDZ is a body of water where boats may not release sewage, whether treated or not. The NDZ will help protect public health, water quality, and sensitive resources. Chapter 173-228 WAC was adopted on April 9, 2018 after a five year public process and EPA approval. The rule is effective as of May 10, 2018. However, certain commercial vessels have a five year delay before the rule begins. There is no change for graywater discharges.
