Good grief, I go outside and mow the lawn come back in and find there’s five pages of posts on Heinrich’s thread.……
…… ok, so I am now caught up, a lot to read but now the lawn needs mowing again .
But as usual fascinating and informative reading, especially the purpose, means and methods of double planking. The information about the worms I will enjoy reading to my young grandson especially this part (I am sure he will sleep well tonight, thanks ):
“In the gap pokes a muscular foot that acts like a suction cup, holding the shell in place while its razor-sharp edges scrape the wood ahead of it. At the top, 2 flesh-toned siphons swish water over massive gills. At the bottom, a slimy, eyeless head resembles a mix of wet lips & diseased intestines. In between, a glistening gunpowder-blue body stretches up to 4 feet long.”
That hull planking looks terrific.
