I too was a bay child. We'd use the barnacle covered chains holding the buoys in their place to pull ourselves down to the bottom for whatever reason

I have a scar on my left leg from where I slipped on the ladder abd sliced my calf open on barnacles.

It bled till it didn’t. And I survived.

I’m pretty sure I’d die of some terrible infection if it had happened today.
