"Kim is back on his boat again. He is looking much better, And doing much better. He has a cold now. No wonder that beating took a lot out of him. All the guys I ever heard about that board boats in 3rd world countries to do you harm are bare foot. I told Kim about the Alaska way to deal with bears in boats that would work here too. Since they always come aboard in the dark without a flashlight. Take some plywood a little wider than the entrance to the boat and put sheet rock screws about 2" long through it every 3" and lay it out side of the companionway. When they step on that you will have your early warning and with rusty screws in their feet they will not continue what they had in mind when they came aboard.. Just Make sure you remember it is there and never step on it yourself."
