Places and Spaces You Can Find a Cat on a Boat

As you can see Abigail can be found in any number of hidey holes inside the cabin and exploring out on deck!

She is getting more brave everyday even as we cast off during a sail she will peek out.

We have seen a lot of other cruisers that use harnesses on their cats to keep them safe while on board.

 This may be what we will do also since she is so adventurous. 

Many of our friends on the dock have dogs and they are very well behaved but as usual they want to explore the docks, jump and run around.

 I found some safety items that may be worth it if you are considering bringing your fur loved one onboard.
