There is a growing interest in all things environmental and the
boating community is no exception. Boaters are taking more of an
interest in what is happening in their cruising areas and in
"Beautiful British Columbia" there is much current interest. As
boaters we have a responsibility to maintain the cleanliness of
our ocean and surrounding environment. We owe it to our
environment to practice green boating. Here are just a few of
the steps we take to minimize the harmful effects to the
environment and run a 'green' and environmentally friendly
company: - We prevent oily discharges in the bilges by keeping
engines well-tuned to prevent fuel and oil leaks. - We spill-
proof our oil changes by using an oil change pump to transfer
oil to a spill-proof container. Then we recycle it. - We
minimize boat cleaning and maintenance in the water. We haul our
boats in a boatyard licensed to collect antifouling waste
properly. - We dispose of hazardous waste properly. Paints,
