The Baggywrinkles
Added 2025-11-29 19:17:22 +0000 UTCWe've had another friend visit us in the Sea of Cortez - it's the wonderful Nic, of Argonaut II fame!
Nic and Joe have been making "Baggywrinkles". Do you know what these bizarre-looking things are for? I'd like at least a few ridiculous answers please 😅

something to do with "anti-chafing"?

2025-11-30 15:22:15 +0000 UTCWe had a guest on Schooner Adventure (Gloucester Massachusetts) who asked one of the other volunteers what they were. He looked up and said something like, "Oh no! We keep cleaning that stuff off and it keeps growing back.". Then he explained what the baggywrinkles were really for. Jay
