Subject: Birds in my boat

An enterprising bird (looks like some type of swallow) has built a nest in
my sailboat, stored at a lake in central Pa. The eggs hatched about three
weeks ago: how long before I can expect the youngsters to vacate the premises
and give me my boat back? How do I go about dissuading birds from nesting
there in the future (I destroyed three nests before I found one with eggs, so
the bird is nothing if not persistent). Any comments would be appreciated- I'd
really like to sail my boat some!
