Hard to believe. I've SEEN mice jump out of a wastebasket.

They had purchase from the garbage. Water has no purchase.

My cats have learned to put their catch into the bathtub. There they can
play with them cause most can't jump out of the tub. Takes a big rat to
jump out of the tub.

Nope. Wrong answer. A friend had some mice trapped in a standard
office metal wastebasket. The mice were able to jump high enough to
grab the top lip with their forepaws.

Damn it! A mouse has invaded my wheelhouse. Last night I found a
potato that a mouse had half eaten. I set the traps with chuncky
peanut butter and the little sucker ate it without setting the traps
off. I heard him scampering across the decks the other night but
thought it was a bird. Tonight I will use sharp chedder cheese in the
rat traps and hope I get em.

Nothing worse than a rat jumping on-board.

Ill take the trash to the dumpster, arm all traps,load the 22 rifle
with a scope and rat shot, put out posion and listen for that pitter
patter of little feet on the deck.

What do you do to prevent rats from boarding?

Live in Australia.

Yeah right http://www.doaustralia.com/Readersto...an2001/WA2.jpg

picture of a person feeding a huge rat at rotten nest island. Dutch
sailor names the island it means rat nest.

ROFLMAO. Hey, Joe, did you *really* think those Disney cartoons were
about real animals?

You remind me of the story about the Texan in Queensland who was
boasting that his property was so big, he had to feed an entire steer
to his hands each dinner time. He shut up real fast when an Aussie
walked into the pub and said he'd just put a thousand head into the
curry.

IOW, he was pig-ignorant about Australia, too.

BTW, Joe, I've got bigger 'rats' than those on Rottnest Island living
on my front lawn here in Tasmania and on my NSW property, they grow 6'
tall, travel in packs and have been known to wreck cars & kill drivers.
That's why we still carry guns in the country.

What do you do at anchor to prevent boarders from killing you and
taking your boat?

Hmmm, Live in Australia.

ROFLMAO. Joe's pretty funny.

BTW, big wind storm recently. Neighbour got a Farr 40, found his
mooring was a bit shallow, so put it on another neighbour's mooring.
Unfortunately it wasn't heavy enough and the whole lot ended up heading
for Bruny Island. No damage done tho. However, I think I'll put 3
railway wheels into the mud for my next mooring. Already got some 1"
dia chain for the bottom, ex anchor chain for a big ship. I like to
sleep nights knowing that what I put somewhere, stays there.
