BIRD STUFF

In our marina they use mono fishing to scare off the birds . If not try using a decoy of a bird of pray. If you find something else let me know as I'am sure to run into this as the season is just starting here in the far north.Good luck ED

Cat Claw

We have had a piece of this stuff running the length of the masthead for the last 3 seasons and the boat has been bird guano free. We've been lucky I guess, because they(Heron and Gulls) don't roost anywhere(spreaders/boom) else...

$$$!!!

$150 for a 32' length of Catclaw??? Jeez! One can buy a hell of a lot of monofilament line for that price!!!The same thing could be made by hammering in a couple score stainless steel nails into a couple of thin teak strips and attaching them to your spreaders. $10?

crap

For 7.95 I bought an inflatable snake. No bird crap since then.

bird poo

Upon leaving her, I have 2 rubber snakes. One is hung from the mast and the other one is left in the cock pit. Don't have much problem with bird poo.Smooth Sailing!
