Hello all. It’s winter in upstate New York, which means I’m spending my days daydreaming about being a live aboard where the air outside doesn’t hurt my face. One nice thing about living in the frozen north is that there aren’t really any bugs. No mosquitoes, flies, noseeums, and thank god, no spiders.
I’m not okay with spiders. I can kinda deal with smaller ones, say less than the size of a quarter, but those big hairy ones are the stuff of nightmares for me. I turn into a white girl and ‘can’t even.’
For those of you cruising in warmer climes, like Florida, the gulf coast, and the Caribbean, how often do you encounter these many-legged spawns of Satan in the winter months? Do you ever get any big bastards on your boat?
