Leo's first sail

Hello again.  Life is very interesting.  I don't know what to expect, since I'm only about 12 weeks old.  But this part of life is kind of fun.  I spent a day checking out my new surroundings, which are pretty nice.  There are toys here for me to play with, and food and water and my nice pink potty.  Some of the noises are a little scary, but Carol pets me and tells me it's okay, and I believe her.  Why shouldn't I?

The loudest noise was when Roger turned on the engine this morning.  Carol stayed right next to me, so I didn't run away, even though I thought about it.  But she didn't seem worried, and besides, I was very sleepy.  So I curled up next to her and purred.  She left me after a little while, and the next thing I knew our house was moving!  I wasn't worried, though, but I was very curious.  Pretty soon the engine noise stopped.  Carol came down and picked me up so I could look out the window.  There was water rushing past our house!  So interesting!  And the scenery was pretty, too.

I had a nice nap while Roger and Carol hung out upstairs (I think they call it the "cockpit").  Whenever I woke up enough to notice, they seemed pretty happy.  They were talking about sailing downwind kind of slow, but sometimes faster when there was more wind.  After about three hours Carol came down again to pet me while Roger made that loud noise with the engine again.  Pretty soon we stopped moving and I went upstairs to look around.  All I saw was a bunch of white walls before Roger scooped me up and put me back downstairs.  Maybe I'll get another peek sometime.  Most of the time there is a board at the top of the stairs so I can't get out.

Now I am relaxing downstairs.  It's kind of warm here, so none of us has much energy.  It's nice that the marina here in Boyne City has internet so I can write about my adventures and share them with others.  I hope you enjoy reading about them.

That's all for now.
