    Marina de Hull was full so we had to stay here. We fueled up (and quite expensive). We asked for a pumpout as we were heading to the lock wall at 7:30 am the next day.  They told us they don't do pumpout when the restaurant is open (it was 2pm and they said I had to wait till 9am tomorrow. I told them we needed to be on the wall early to get in line so the kid went in and said his uncle would be there 6:30am anyway to start getting ready to open the place and they would make an exception then to pump us out. So we made our plans to be back at the gas/pumpout dock for 7. I gave them two stars because when the uncle came over he had the diesel pump in his hand. I told him I already filled my tanks with his fuel yesterday and we needed the pumpout before hitting the Rideau Canal. He said he couldn't me out as the pumpout was broken and they couldn't get parts to fix it. This ruined my early morning to be on the lock wall. If I had known it was broken I could have gone to either of the two other marinas to get pumped out.
