It was not. Hey, did you know that my boat has a little gauge in the aft head that shows the current level of "stuff" in the holding tank? It read empty that morning. It read empty because, unbeknownst to me at the time, you have to pull a switch in the head to turn it on. I learned about that little silver pull switch when the previous owners arrived 5 minutes after Vesuvius let loose in the engine room.

The silver lining is that it will never, ever, EVER, get worse than that. Replace sanitation hose? Clear a clog? Please!
