Ship was tied alongside a repair vessel, and some junior guys were sent to do deckhand work on their vessel while ours was being repaired. Two of them were assigned to paint the side of the ship from a rowboat in the water alongside the vessel. At that time, there were no requirements about holding waste water, and it was discharged directly into the ocean. Or harbor, in this case. Their boat just happened to be below a discharge pipe when someone flushed. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination. Worst fishing trip ever. All they caught was a wrinkled-back trout.
