Default Spiders on Board!

Absolutely... I believe it's a Mimic.... they favour imitation as a
defence technique. I'm certain it feels quite at home on Bobsprit's boat
... since his vessel also imitates a much more formidable boat. Although
capable of much bravado... once exposed or cornered they run for cover...
again much like Bobsprit. I'm certain the transparency or glassiness
speaks volumes... never mind the attraction to imitation woodgrain.



I dunno, I think it's the dreaded Wilford Brimley spider.
