[Rhodes22-list] Organic deck deposits

[KUHN, LELAND]

Alan,

Canada geese?  Those aren't bird droppings!  On golf courses I use them
for practice shots.  If they ever crap on my boat, I'll just use a broom
or a shovel.  Cow patties.

Can't do much with the foredeck, except Comet Cleanser. You could try a
double side by side band of wax paper on the cockpit deck held down with
gear you stow under the seats. We've seen a 20  gallon plastic bag split
down the side and spread out for cabin top coverage used ; secured with
clear HD clear plastic package tape which doesn't leave a sticky residue
mark on the gel coat when pulled off.
Is your problem with sea gulls and terns? The only one we have up north
is from flocks of migrating Canadian geese flying low when seeking a
safe place to overnight.
Good Luck!

  I find junk mail CDs hung from the shrouds work pretty well.  Also,
string
  filament line above your spreaders and wind vane mount.
