Sorry to announce that Skipper, my boat pet was found dead this morning. He was laying on the galley counter top, next to the stove. So, I had a sip of coffee, and put him back into the food chain by throwing the carcass overboard. Not to worry though, as I saw another Geko in the cockpit, about the same time as I disposed of the previous pet. Think I'll just keep on calling them Skipper.
