Back in 1981, hanging around Lahina waiting for the start of the Sauza Cup 
regatta I spent an hour or so in the middle of the night chasing a rat off our 
boat.  I suspect it crawled up a mooring line.  The first sign of trouble was 
the sound of gnawing from under a bunk.

The boat was built out of aluminum (Frers 49, Bravura) and that damn rat was 
running from compartment to compartment between the ribs.  I was armed with a 
winch handle and wearing only tighty whities.  Eventually the rat decided to 
leave and all aboard could go back to sleep.  The next day we added rat guards 
to the lines.

Umm.. Okay, this is really funny.  I had to leave the boat for five days
(flying north for a funeral) and so bug-bombed the living heck out of
everything.  After returning, and washing everything that wasn't sealed
in plastic, the boat was cockroach free.

Then, a week later, I got a new friend:
