Sailboat Cat's Life

Looking back before the summer heat and humidity really kicked in...
Peppermint Patty and I did enjoy some lovely evenings top deck with the AC temporarily removed from the companionway for the nights. She loves to climb on top of the mainsail (wrapped in green sail cover) and even sometimes, as shown in previous blogs, likes to hide up inside the sail cover, which can be nerve wracking since her claws are sharp and the sail is old, although might be replaced...
She loves to jump onto the dodger, which is made of the blue fabric I'm hoping to some day convert all the sail covers to. When on the dodger, she gets frisky and likes to scramble around "attacking" invisible fingers that might be running on the undersides ;)
She also gets excited and rolls on her back and attacks the mainsail above her.
It's really quite fun to play with her on beautiful Florida spring evenings. Always an incredible feeling of peace and living and enjoying the moment.
And then, of course, she invariably jumps off the sailboat to explore the dock.
It's really quite a life :)
