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

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


you must have better smelling oyster reefs than we do...out stink if its
hot...


It's an aquired taste.

Spec Trout Water Mellon


They have melon sprays already but mixed with speckled trout? yech....


No Katy, not many people know this, but a school of speckled trout
smell almost exactly like a watermellon patch. I have no ideal why, but
have smelled it many times.

Windward shore Mud
Open Ocean Breeze
Crazy Cajan Crab Boil

And to spray people you hate!

3 day old Failed Freezer Squid


gag

No doubt...Had 30 pounds go bad in a walk in once..Even after the
clorox scrubbing is was still gaggable.


Holding Tank Horror


been there...that's a bad one...

Poggie Boats of Cameron


never smelled one but I'm assuming it must be pretty bad


You can smell them over the horizon, they grind the poggies to a paste
and the decks are covered with spillage. BTW poggies are the fish used
in cat food, and the oil is extracted. Big biz here they purse sain and
have helos on the boats to spot schools.
A poggie boat Capt can make 2-300K and only work 3 mo a year.


And Fish Oil Spray


but your cat (and every other cat in the neighbothood) will love you...


It's horrid, I had to coat the interior voids of an old workboat with
it to slow down the rust, and it was 110 in the shade. I can still
taste it...uchhhh
