Good thread Tom. I try to burn paper products at the low tide line. Save plastic and metal till we get to shore. Even finding a dumpster can be tough in some places.
We store our full garbage bags under the dinghy on the foredeck while offshore. One opens the forward hatch in the V-berth, and stuffs the bags between the hatch and dinghy.
We do notice that the garbage load goes way down without the kids aboard. Wine bottles however, seem to accumulate at the same steady high rate...
