[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 3097404, member: 115658"] Me - tidy, respectful person who picks up other's trash including shotgun hulls & brass when pursuing my sport on private & public lands. Honest - that big bag that I am dragging is loaded with trash. Eons & eons ago when I was a young naval officer in our Navy our vessel did a detailed sea floor survey anchored in .3 K deep water in a channel separating 2 Hawaii islands one of which was a pristine & privately owned. We had a crew of 250-300 souls on board who were eating, consuming, and producing much waste. My job was to continually plot our position using radar & radist, a directional radio transmission system sending out signals from several shore base antennae as we swung about at the end of 900 meters of 5/8 inch wire rope, 50 meters of heavy chain & a 500 pound Danforth anchor. Heavy loads of trash were dumped over the side every night, like dark. Soon herds of white tip sharks circled our vessel munching on chicken, hamburger, muffins, eggs, pancakes. ham, bacon and other left over foods. My job included, as OOD, sampling the enlisted mess to assure quality - always first rate - I worked with the cooks on menus. One morning one of our radio guys handed me a classified message (confidential, lowest of classified) directed to our skipper. Our trash had drifted up on the pristine island's beach and the trash included enough info to blame us. After that, no dumping, the fantail accumulated a small mountain of trash & every week we reeled in .9 K meters of wire rope, 50 meters of heavy chain and winched up the 500 pound Danforth anchor and got underway for a 15-20 mile run leeward of the pristine island - then permission to dump trash. The sharks moved out. [/QUOTE]
