Hi Russ, I don’t know if sardines eat corn chips, but I love a good ceremony! After this incident, I was very suspicious of the moon jellies when we were anchored in Prideaux Haven. They looked very suicidal! Do they go for corn chips as well? Thanks for confirming this crazy behavior. It was worth a good laugh! We invested in a first class aft shore tie line for this summer! No more water ski ropes tied in series! Not very seamanlike, but worked like a charm. Hope to see you this summer if you are around! Still not sure if we can make the C&C Rendezvous!
