After 2 weeks aboard we did our first passages with our new ship's cat. We needn't have worried: Smurfy was neither afraid of the engine or the noise of the chain, nor did he get seasick despite rough conditions and after some cautious watching he went exploring. On his second sailing day he already wanted to help with lines and enjoyed all the action :-)
