Rat Attack at Castelsardo

We were camped on a tiny beach enclosed by very steep cliffs. I joked that no boars should bother us here and we fell asleep to roaring surf only a few meters from the tent.

In the morning, as we went through our packing routine, I discovered a massive hole in the front entrance of my new Northwater deck bag, a very useful item on this journey I might add. We determined that a rat gibbled through to access an apple I had left sitting in the bag, zipped shut.

And then René discovered the little rodent's teeth marks on the outer edge of his Skim Distance day hatch, made by Kajak Sport. Fortunately our uninvited nocturnal visitor never nibbled completely through, thanks to the untasty, sturdy construction.

We did get out on the water today and paddled to Porto Torres in fine conditions to indulge in fine dining, tagliatelle with swordfish, tomatoes and capers.
