When I said potbelly spiders, that is what I call them, but I don’t know what their actual name is. I actually got chased by them sometimes. I was so freaked out whenever I had to go to the heavily populated spots.
Like I said, I kept my boat clear of them. I would go through it with a can of Lysol and a lighter. POOOF! Crispy fried, and wipe the black off my paint. On watch nights though, I had to dash down the pier, jump aboard every YP, and check bilges and gauges. All the others had spiders all over them, with webs stretched across passages and hatches. YP654 was the worst.
