As this anthropomorphized pet so eloquently demonstrates, cruising blogs aren't just for humans anymore.
For the past two years, Tom and Amy Gillespie have been living and cruising aboard their 36-foot catamaran, Dream Catcher. Among the many entertaining features of the couple's website is a section written by Tom in the voice of their pet ferret, Maggie. Here's the latest from "Ferret's Corner":
"My days onboard consist mostly of sleeping in late, then having breakfast in bed. Around 2:00 p.m. or so I will get out and play for a little bit. Play time usually leaves me exhausted, so I go back to bed until dinner time. After eating dinner two or three times, I like to go for an evening stroll through the boat looking for something to attack. Tom's miscellaneous computer parts are usually good for a laugh or two, but sometimes I make due with a random sock. |
"Most people want to know if I can swim. I do not care for it as I prefer to ride on Tom's rather large head when crossing water, but like all mammals, I can swim if I have to. I have requested that the bozo get me a small pair of swim trunks and floaties so that I will be able to participate in the snorkeling when we get where ever south is, but they have yet to arrive."
