Where is the land? I kept looking out the window hoping to see land, but there was nothing but water for 5 days.
I feel as if I have been a pretty patient cat, going along with this whole boat adventure thing. I’ve adjusted to a normal cruising day, by spending most of my time sleeping on the pilothouse floor. I usually don’t eat, or use the facilities until we are anchored for the day. So, you can imagine my dismay when our last voyage the boat didn’t stop after the first day. Dismay turned to frustration when the boat didn’t stop after the second day. Frustration turned to concern when the boat didn’t stop after the third day. I finally realized there was
Dave's lap is great because of his long legs.
nothing I could do about it; so I might as well sit in the lap of who ever was in the captains chair as much as possible ,and take advantage of their sympathy for me by getting lots of strokes and scratches under my chin. Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled when the boat finally stopped moving. I took a good long bath, and now plan to sleep in the middle of their bed for a week.

BTW: I did start eating and doing my business after the first 24 hours at sea, and never did feel sea sick. All in all it wasn’t too bad, but don’t tell my family that—I want to be sure and get all that sympathy I can on future trips . 🙂
Looking for a comforatable place to sleep. Well, it's not here on Ayla's school books.
Much better place to sleep. 🙂
Hi Dilly.
When you went to the Bahamas, did you have to have a special passport? What kind of reception do you think you’ll get when you go to other countries?

Hi Kristina!
I did not need a special passport. Howver, I did have to a special permit to enter the country; along with a health certificate signed within 48 hours of arriving; a copy of my rabies vaccination certificate; and, a microchip implanted behind my shoulder blade in case I was lost. Luckily, my family was on top of all these things so I had no problem getting in. Some countries will be harder to get into, and others will be easier. I have now been to Canada as well, and had no problems. Meow!
