What do you do if you find a mouse in your home? 🐭😂 Apparently… prank your husband first. What started as a harmless “there’s a mouse onboard!” joke quickly turned into a reminder of why sailors take rodents so seriously. A mouse or rat onboard isn’t just annoying — it can become a real safety issue, especially when you live full-time on a boat. • They chew electrical wires which can damage navigation systems, batteries and even cause fires • They contaminate food and water supplies with droppings and urine • They can carry diseases like Hantavirus and other harmful bacteria • They destroy cushions, clothes, ropes, sail bags and insulation while building nests • They hide in tiny spaces inside the boat, making them very hard to catch • And once onboard, they multiply FAST On land this may just be a pest problem. At sea, it can become a serious one.

Extremely high winds hit this morning. The anchors dragged, caught a rusty metal mesh cage. The outboard seemed useless against the winds.

Aqui pensando… qual será o nosso proximo desafio? ⛵️ Quem vive a bordo sabe: sempre tem algo para consertar, ajustar ou simplesmente aceitar que vai dar trabalho! Um parafuso que espana, uma peça que quebra, um vazamento que aparece do nada… Nossa lista de itens para fazer nesta subida do Utopia já se multiplicou, e consequentemente, os custos também. É… vida no mar ctza é incrível, mas também é um eterno jogo de paciência e solução de problemas!
