Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions. I will
definitely try a few over the next few days.

The other thought I had was to use one of those motion ativated
sprinklers they sell for keeping the dogs/cats from using your
backyard as a toilet. Problem is that I think our dock neighbour
would not be too pleased if I did not get the sensitivity setting
right GRIN

Thanks again

Matt

Birds tend to dislike movement. Strands of loose rope hanging from the boom,
a pickup bouy suspended from a halyard, anything else that is over the spot
they like to sit and moves will help drive them away.

Of course if your boat is in a very quiet spot with no wave action or breeze
to cause motion your out of luck but it works for me on my mooring and for
friends as well.

The ducks at our club have taken to roosting on our boat, making a
really nice mess of the boat. I have tried a plastic owl but have had
no luck in dissuading the ducks. Funnily enough, these are ducks ith
a sense of politics as this only started happening after my darling
wife became commodore.

Any advice for getting rid of the ducks would be greatly appreciated.
If all else fails, please send recipes (just kidding).

Thanks in advance

Matt
