We're cat sitting. His name is Barney. He's 8 months old. He likes to sleep on Marks squishy belly. He's adventurous. He gets into every nook and cranny on the boat and where ever he is. Unfortunately his adventurousness (is that a real word lol) got him into trouble early this morning. While we were still in bed he appeared in the saloon (same as a landlubbers sitting room) soaking wet!! Not just damp, but soaking all the way up to his neck!! No doubt about it he's been in the sea. He leapt about shaking here, shaking there, leaving puddles everywhere before we could get up and slow him down. Mark rinsed him under the tap while his little heart was pumping away madly - poor little thing he was seriously upset with his experience.
Where and how it happened and how he got out, cos it's not easy to get out anywhere in a Marina, we've no idea but you wouldn't believe how much water he managed to bring into the cockpit.
He doesn't seem any worse for wear now, he's had breakfast, been for a wee scamper and is now asleep in the sun. While my morning has been spent washing everything he soaked with sea water!!
What would we have told his mum and dad if he hadn't managed to get himself out - doesn't bear thinking about.
