Daryl and Marlin, our ship cats! It's Marlin's second season sailing (though he's been with us three years- got locked at the seaport last season for crimes) and Daryl's first! What sweet babies 💖
Think about it:
If a kid is trying to measure their mood or love with their arms, saying "I love you this much" or "more than this much" it's an actual unit of measurement!
If someone says "my love for you is unfathomable" they're saying "my love for you is more than which an embrace can convey."
Sailors literally talk by saying "yeah this square knot takes about six hugs of rope"
The words "fathom" "unfathomable" "fathomless" all relate to hugs!
We have been measuring length in hugs for 5 centuries!
I think that's beautiful.
Darrell's first day as a ship's cat and bosun's mate on the tall ship Lady Washington!
Here he is inspecting the quality of coils, making sure passengers were heeding the "no smoking" rule, and standing bow watch through the anchor hawse.
He looked very dapper in his PFD and sunglasses! (I highly recommend looking into Surfer Cat for harnesses and PFDs made to fit cat bodies specifically. their gear is well designed, and they are a small company with excellent customer service!)
