And the gulls

[tangomoon]

They have parties onboard and crap everywhere. Mussels shells, cockle shells dead a dead o. sand. I would be happy to shoot one every so often and hang it in the rigging as we used to with crows on the farm but animal tights and concerned citizens become anxious. Don't want a thousand cds hanging around, toy snakes don't work and gulls think owls are a hoot. Anybody know a simple quick to set up scarer

Fishing line above the boom discourages.

Someone else suggested throwing bread on neighbouring boats.

Tried this but they come over to mine and rest then have a pooping contest for the biggest dump on the parts we're going to touch

...rather than bread, try raw yeast. I believe it blows them.

Look at the previous threads - proven answer is runner bean netting clipped over her

Carbide wrapped in bread works quickly, almost humanely, and most definitely spectacularly.
