A sewage spill at a treatment plant in Magnolia early this week makes dinghy sailing in the vicinity sound like a smelly situation.

About 10 million gallons of raw sewage spilled into Elliott Bay on Monday night and Tuesday morning because of an equipment failure at the West Point treatment plant in Magnolia.

10 million gallons is kind of hard to gauge. If you have a 12-gallon holding tank on your boat, and you use up your whole tank every time you go cruising, and you go cruising every other weekend of the year, it would take you 32051 years of emptying your holding tank into the sound to be on par with this.
