Here's Bob Cushman (Commodore) and Joell at the Wheeler Yacht Club dinner party. It was held on one of the long covered docks.  They had over 40 members show up.... Pulled pork, chicken and all the fixings.

"Sucking Carp"

I asked Commodore Bob what these lights were for.... He took us over to one that was lit and we saw a bunch of Gar Fish swimming at the waters surface.  Bob said that the Carp spend all night banging against your boat, eating any growth that's on the hull and make a god awful thumping noise. Since Gar Fish and Carp don't get along, the Carp stay away from the boats and the marina tenants get a quiet nights sleep!  Commodore Bob said it took them quite awhile to figure this out.
