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

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!

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.

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!

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

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.
