Winter is the solution to dock spiders !!!!
As autumn is quickly approaching the northern hemisphere .... just wait
until the atmospheric conditions are right and watch for the arrival of
the 'parachute spiders' who essentially travel around the world on
their silk parachutes. On the Chesapeake Bay when the atmospherics
are 'just right' (September & October) the GOSSAMER that collects in
the rigging from these parachute spiders is sometimes 'spectacular'.

Our docks are just loaded with spiders, so of course the come and take
over our boat each weekend, does anyone have some clues as to what
might keep this from happening? Maybe a way to keep them out of our
cockpit at least?

Thanks
