Abby’s Typical Evening

Last evening had to be the best sail of the year, so far! What we thought would be a wash with the looming storms turned out to be an awesome charter! With dark clouds hovering all around, we thought there would be no way we could make the evening sunset sail. However, to Abby’s delight, the skies broke and the rains stopped so off we went…

But not before my little gerbil lapped up a bit of water from the icy cooler drain:

Then Abby took her initial post in wait of the boarding guests. She’s quite the dutiful crew member, sporting her life jacket, sizing up each passenger to see who might be in need of her attentions.

Of course, not long after we set sail, Abby settles in for a nap. The wind, the gentle roll of the boat through the waves, instantly calms her soul as she grabs a power nap.

As the boat tacked to the other side, she moves to the low side of the cockpit. This evening Abby was particularly content in napping for most of the trip.

Wait, what was that? Did someone call for me???

Abby has come a long way from last summer’s charter season! Now 20 months old, she is quite socialized and life on the boat has become the norm. While last season she was rambunctious and in a state of minimally controlled chaos, this year she thrives on sharing her home with guests as she has become quite the icon on the boat…all her manners intact. Well, most of the time…
