Salisbury, Massachusetts, has a new sewage pump-out boat, and its name is more than just clever – it’s also good advice. The vessel’s job is to travel from boat to boat and pump out onboard septic systems. The boat was paid for in part by a state environmental grant and will keep the harbor clean in the town near the New Hampshire border. Harbormaster Ray Pike says hundreds of names were suggested for the vessel before they settled on “Down Winder.” Other names suggested included Poo Bear, Pumpty Dumpty, Poop Sloop and Dung Dingy. The winning name was suggested by boater Richard Calderwood.
