We are at the St. Augustine Municipal Marina for shore leave to see the
sights. Although there is an anchorage next to the marina and people come
in by dinghy (small boat used for transportation away from the bigger boat),
we opted for a slip.
I'm simply going to have to carry my camera everywhere. I was walking from
the laundry room to our boat when I saw a man bring his dinghy from the
anchorage to tie up at the marina. A large black and white cat rode in
meatloaf position on the edge of the side of this little boat. It wore a
red harness, and the man took it off and walked it on a leash.
He told me that the cat likes to catch lizards, but does not kill them. He
takes the lizards that the cat catches and puts them in the anchor rode
locker on his sailboat. (This is the place that stores the rope or chain
when the anchor is not in use.) The algae or whatever the anchor rode picks
up and brings in attracts little flies, and the lizards eat the flies. Every
so often, the cat goes into the anchor locker and gets a lizard to play
with.
I'm sure our captains Rosie and Cinder would agree that this is a fine idea,
so, I'll just perform a small mutiny and keep mum about it.
