I reported yesterday that all was well.  Well it's not as first thought.  Last night i got in after dark.  I knew / felt a few spider webs hitting me in the face and 'saw' some bird droppings.  Today - in sunlight - i can see an Osprey Disaster area aft.  (the back of the boat is defiled)  He sits atop my mizen mast.  (my boat is ketch rigged, with 2 masts.  A main and then behind it, aft, a mizzen mast)  The Osprey seems to like to catch his fish and then bring them to MY boat to eat.  He then proceeds to DROP everything!  His nasty fresh fish bird poo.  His nasty fresh fish parts.  His nasty leftovers....  Imagine YOU went for Sushi and took home a bunch of leftovers.  But instead of putting it in the fridge, you left it in your car for a week.  Now, smear that all over my deck.  That gives you a good idea how 'fragrant' the aft deck was this morning.  80 degrees and fish parts all over.  Yes, this attracts bugs which attracts spiders, which makes my poor boat unattractive.  So i started the day with a bucket of soapy water and a brush.  It's gonna take a few more passes to get it all.
