Well yeah, there's that, I've never claimed to be normal. Seems way too boring anyway. ;-)

Motion sickness on a sailboat completely sucks. I've only had it once, after a major storm the night before, and I got it complete with my one and only migraine - blech.

If that was what sailing had always been for me, I'd have given up sailing. Thankfully, it wasn't, and I still miss it. Badly.

Funny too, because the business partner of one of my best friends also had a Morgan, albeit a whole lot larger than ours, and sailed regularly with his cat. So I've enjoyed your "Letters from a Boat Cat."

He kept trying to convince me that our cats would love it, but my mind kept going back to the scene in "The Dove," where Robin Lee Graham's cat gets flipped into the water by a stray gust and eaten by a shark.

Ummm . . . no, thanks, I like my kitties to be safely on land. ;-)

And yes, I do realize that the scene was created for the film, and didn't actually happen in real life, though IRL he did come up on deck one morning to find the cat missing.

Gone. No longer on the boat. In the middle of the ocean. Damn.
