Here is a great boat made by BSM. I sold my first order to a charter service in Panama City, Panama. I have never has as much fun and enjoyment building a great boat in another land with new people.

About bats:

I remembered on my first visit in 2005 after arriving at the Galle Face Hotel I finally got good nights sleep after the 35 hour flight. That night I awoke at 5: am and opened he window to let in a nice breeze coming in off the sea. When suddenly a bat flew in and proceeded to fly in circles. If you come here do not open your window before the sun rises or a bat will fly in, I think to bats they think it is a high rise cave at tree top level, because this does not happen downstairs.
I let the bat fly around a while expecting him top find the open window again. But when he started dive bombing me and getting aggressive I had had enough. When I hit him with the broom he went smack against the wall, fell to the floor and began walking on his hind legs towards me then took off directly at me again. OK this was enough, I took the broom and this time swatted him as hard as I could and he was knocked out the window. I knew I wasn’t in Kansas anymore.
Now in my apt when I go to sleep at night I don't come out of my bedroom until the sunrises, because there is something that scratches around the floor early in the morning before the sun comes up and I think it is probably bats, or worse. The other day two blocks down I saw an old man poking a 6 foot monitor lizard with a stick trying to get the thing out of his yard. The monitor lizards are common here, this one climbed up a nearby tree to get away from the poking, and he was in no hurry. So in the morning I also remember there is a large tree with branches touching the open window in the kitchen and sometimes I do not remember if I closed it or not. The heck with the snakes, the lizards are enough to scare the crap out of anyone I know, they are black and have smooth scaly loose skin, and usually about 5 to 7 feet long.
