After a long uneventful flight we're back at the HYC. We were welcomed with a foul odor aboard---we finally got the elusive rat that came aboard...at Hilo? The decon (poison) was brought out when the traps, sticky pads and everything else failed to get him. We had been feeling so lucky never having to deal with critters, having heard stories of other boaters dilemmas. The cleanup and odor neutralizing remedies have kept us busy.
It's great to be back with old and new friends. We've seen Lee and Richard of sv Before, Mike & Veronica of sv Apple, Ray & Kai of sv Zion, Dave & Sherry of sv Soggy Paws, as well as the great group of folks here at the HYC. Also of note is that we've met Rick and Liisa aboard their Westsail 43 Pueo here at the HYC. It's amazing - there were 65 Westsail 43's made. We have no idea how many are out cruising, but to have two 43's about 100 yards away from each other is an awesome coincidence! HAPPY 2011 EVERYONE!
