Rockter is on a distinguished road
Only in America....

When I bought my boat in Houston, tropical cockroaches were a problem, I have even seen roaches running up the mooring lines, so we bought a few of the "Roach Motel".


On the side of the wee box was printed "They check in but they don't check out".

We three Brits laughed and laughed.

Only in America.

You wouldn't be laughing if the things didn't work and your boat was infested with cockroaches...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

They've had that slogan for a couple decades now... always cracked me up too. They don't make commercials like that anymore... so 80's.

Anytime you take dry stores south of Hatteras you'll get more also, so have enough of the motels that you do not have to put out a "no vacancy" sign.
