According to my skipper, we have now made it as far as midway so things are starting to lighten up. Life onboard is good although I can’t run around as much. They keep me, more or less, inside probably worried that I would fall over board. They clearly don’t appreciate the agility of a cat! I must say I was a bit apprehensive about living aboard a sailing yacht when they took me from my cosy little place at the shelter in Malta. Over time, I got used to the yacht and to them. I’m doing my fair share of the work onboard. I do the night watches with the only female onboard, which is good for her (and probably the skipper as they seem to have some kind of romantic relationship …). I do need to watch over her carefully. One never quite knows what those human females are up to. Under my careful watching eye (mostly closed but that’s just to give her the idea that she is doing this without my support and thus enhances her self confidence), she seems to settle nicely during the watch system. Somehow, though, they don’t seem to appreciate my early morning wandering on the deck. This is the time to pick up the, clearly, night blind flying fishes. Always plenty of them on the deck and, man, are they a nice breakfast. The weird thing is that once I have brought them to the breakfast table to show that I’m contributing to the daily duties, the fish seem to disappear. I’m looking all over for some time and even faintly smell them but I never find the fish again. Bummer! Anyway, it is nearly time for the grumpy skipper to end his watch and the female to come back on again. So need to run and help her out. God knows what would happen if I’m not there …!
