An interesting fact about these small creatures:
"Individuals with two types of sails that are mirror images of each
other exist in a population - they are thus pushed in opposite
directions by the wind."
So I read that you should find only left "by-the-wind" sailor on
California beaches and European beaches, and right "by-the-wind" sailor
on East Coast beaches and Asian beaches.
Nature didn't teach this jellies how to jibe and they just sail and sail
until they hit a coast!
