I spent so much of my life romanticizing the Great and Powerful Enormity of the Sea, reading about the salt and the sweat of the sailors straining to haul the sails or anchor while dreading the monsters in the cold, icy deep fathoms below...and now you tell me that a fathom is only 6 feet deep -

I can't be the first person to make this observation, but it's just struck me that Captain Ahab from Moby-Dick and Thomas Blanky from The Terror represent the opposite ends of a spectrum—"How well do you cope with losing your leg to a huge white beast that destroys hubristic seafaring men?"

Darrell's first day as a ship's cat and bosun's mate on the tall ship Lady Washington!
Here he is inspecting the quality of coils, making sure passengers were heeding the "no smoking" rule, and standing bow watch through the anchor hawse.
He looked very dapper in his PFD and sunglasses! (I highly recommend looking into Surfer Cat for harnesses and PFDs made to fit cat bodies specifically. their gear is well designed, and they are a small company with excellent customer service!)
#im so proud of my son he did so well!#don't worry we haven't replaced marlin he's still our official ships cat#he's just not as comfortable in his pfd yet so he spend the whole sail sulking on the binnacle and i didn't get any good pics of him#lady washington#ships cat#boat cat#black cats#tall ships#age of sail#my post#caturday#darrell blogging#boat adventures
