Too bad...the smell of hemp ropes is a nostalgic thing...maybe they can
put it in spray cans so they can spray it around boats fitted with wire

Maybe the same folks would like clip-on gaff sails (tanbark of course),
instant baggywrinkle, and scurvy pills (one that give you scurvy, not
cure it). For that old-time deep-sea feeling.

I agree, you may be on to a good money making ideal.
I would like several nautical smells put in spray cans.

Cypress Boat Cabin
Oyster Reef at low tide
Spec Trout Water Mellon
Windward shore Mud
Open Ocean Breeze
Crazy Cajan Crab Boil


Don't forget these additions
"Fresh Paint" (available in Topsides or Anti-Fouling)
"Faint Whiff of Reliable & Well-Tuned Engine"
For the West Coasters, "Sea Lion on Nearby Channel Bouy"


And to spray people you hate!

3 day old Failed Freezer Squid
Holding Tank Horror
Poggie Boats of Cameron
And Fish Oil Spray


Gets rid of unwanted guests & mothers-in-law. How about one of my
favorites, "Burnt Wiring"

They already sell CDs of nautical sounds, but clearly there is room for
expansion in this market.

You
ve hit on another idea there....CD's....we could go back to the rude
anchorage discussion and make a CD called Banging Halyardsn,Choking
Diesel Engine, Bad Carburator Atomic 4, and Seagull Denied....
