Yes, and if the photographer was 40 feet further back, he would have
taken a shot of a 4'+ long goanna snaffling my stepdaughter's furry
slippers. He must have been tragically disappointed when he realised it wasn't a tasty baby possum. I've read of worse things that cat crap in a spinnaker chute; namely stuffing a dead cat down a rival's chute. From personal experience, the worst thing to have inside a boat is a possum; cuddly looking but capable of taking apart any cat I know. It's not nice to reach into a Moth and hear a very aggressive growl. Apparently one guy got one in his catamaran at home years ago and it wouldn't come out. So he towed the boat for an hour, went out sailing, capsized a few times, and then took the hatch covers back off. That got rid of it. |

I had 1 of these "killing" my kite halyard the other week. I'm sure that 4mm yellow spectra looks like a snake. ------------- 12footers. The Only Way to FLY Remember Professionals built the titanic, Amateurs built the ark. |

Nice one! Exotic wild animals in the boat park is definitely something we're lacking here in England. I've had mice eating the grips on my tiller extensions in the uni container and found mouse sh*t in a laser 2 sail but thats about as far as it goes! Maybe those people who sail at loch ness have any better photos eh?!  ------------- http://www.facebook.com/bearfootdesign - BEARFOOT DESIGN Cherub 2648 - Comfortably Numb |

That's the one, TA. Keep a lookout next year, he may have developed a taste for fluffly slippers. |

I found three rats in my IC . The boat had been in a barn for 15 years, and the rats were ( well ) dead.

A hitch hiking wasp stung me in my Laser 2. I do not think he was angry with me but rather the operation of the minor controls and he took it out on me. ------------- tickel |
