[Paddlewise] Cockpit Varmits

Not only snakes in the cockpit . . . you need to shake out your boots 
too. Scorpions like boots. But I'm reminded of Washburne's account of 
racoons in the San Juans: He had his food and gear stored inside his 
tent and the little bandits would sneak in and carry off pots, pans, 
boots . . . He says he spent half the night holding on to a pot that a 
racoon was trying to actively wrestle out of his grip. I'm betting a 
racoon can get a cockpit cover off a boat.
