1. Hi Russ…… I got tired of chasing my halyards ,so I added a lightline as a downhaul. It helps in more ways too. Under way, I usually just hank it small and let it dangle. At dock/anchor, I run the halyard up and take the downhaul out to the mid cleat to lock it down and prevent halyard slap.

2. Apart from the obvious they're disgusting, what are the particularly bad issues with infestations on boats?

3. A while back I did some research about ways to deal with ants, cockroaches, mice and rats in a non-toxic manner. For ants and cockroaches you can mix some borax with cooked scrambled eggs and put it in a container that they can enter to consume or carry back the borax to their nest or young. For mice and rats you can mix some baking soda with cornmeal in a container they can consume from. The baking soda makes the mice and rats build internal pressure and as they can't fart they die. I can't confirm how effective these methods are though. Cheers!

4. Keeping it clean and organized. Don't just plan for the expected. Trust your gut feelings or bad dream as a call to action. …all good messages. I wish you safe travels and good adventures.

5. Finally, a Sailor who admits and shows his love for eating out of a can when under sail and at anchor! I love it! I would venture to say a canned Ham might be a valuable trade item in some parts/some day!

6. starlink?

7. That yellow bilge paint looks good! I like the gloss level. That is on my winter refit to-do list.
