Mutant mollusks
Hi Stew,When my boat was slipped on the North Shore, hundreds of 3/4” long mussels congregated in the centerboard pocket. The thin-shelled, butterfly-shaped bivalves prevented my centerboard from dropping at all. I made a large version of a water-pick from copper tubing connected to a garden hose. By jabbing this device into the voids around the centerboard I was able to crush the shells and flush them out.Did you find a slip in Bay St.Louis?Happy sails _/),MArk
