Rat. What rat?

Well, the good news is that we think we've got rid of our rat. We're not entirely sure because we didn't catch it and we haven't found the body despite tearing the boat to pieces, but we think it probably had such a hard time with the glue traps & the poison that it just jumped ship some time when the boat was insecure. Whatever, we have seen no sign of it for two weeks now.
It actually did minimal damage so we were very lucky, and we have cleaned some deep recesses that have not seen the light of day for years so its time on board has carried some benefits with it. But on the whole it was a horrible experience that we hope never to repeat. Ugh.
