Seaman Devin Adams explains how to make baggywrinkle and why it’s used through the rigging aboard Coast Guard Cutter Eagle while underway along the Chesapeake Bay, Wednesday, March 9, 2016. Baggywrinkle is moss-like in appearance but is actually a hand-made protective barrier crafted from retired line keeping the sails free from excessive wear and tear.
