I hate mice

Ok so I decide to brush the dust off my windsurfing kit after 3 weeks in New Zealand and DOW!!!!! them darn mice have been having a field day with the luff tubes on my sails. So it does not look like I will be sailing this weekend. Another big DOW!!!!

So what do I do, keep my kit in the house and I sleep in the garage or send the wife to stake out the garage at night and wake me if she sees any mice. I have already managed to get one of Mickey's freinds in a trap and my dog caught another but I am sure there are more of them little critters out there.

Which sails are borken?? I think I have a spare 4.5m if it gets that windy.

Send the wife out to the garage to stake it out and give here some sewing equipment to fix the sails whilst she's there!!

Thanks for the offer Al but the little B*ggers got the 5.0 and 5.7 and left the older and less valuable 4.5 and 6.4 alone. Did not even leave a poo on them.

I was going to repair them myslef but decided against it as the 5.7 was chewed right at the top of the tube where all the tension is. Thought it will be better if a pro tried his hand at it. Unfortunatley his words were, I dont think I will have them done before the weekend.

I reckon this weekend is going to be perfect 5.7 weather on Saturday followed by ideal 5.0 weather on Sunday. No need to look at weather reports any more!

Woohoo, it was about time someone made a sacrifice to the wind Gods!

Lets just hope for your sake that it doesn't end up being perfect 6.4m weather on Sat and perfect 4.5m weather on Sunday!
