something you never wanted to know about boating

i've been swimming in the sea (at the Gravette and Salis beaches, just around the corner) a few times, was looking forward to making it a regular thing..i love the water, and ooh...floating in warm salt water, view of the old town, hot sunny beach..lovely, right? mom and bert informed me last night during their usual two hour boat spiel that the Antibes harbor, Port Vaubon, one of the biggest on the med (4,000 berths!) does not have processing facilities. as in waste management. as in every one of those boats has to dump their chemical-ized waste OVERBOARD. i've been swimming in a giant toilet.
