How we run goose wing (or wing on wing) what do YOU call it?

November 12, 2019

Just as we think this sailing life can’t get any better a fierce squall hits as we sail into trouble inside a rocky anchorage.

Instagram post 2194782110925844149_1962947700 Are YOU too old to sail? Sailing around the world is NOT always the awesome, fun, mojito-sipping, bikini-clad, palm-fringed dream sold to us by many sailing channels. We bust the myth in our latest video.

Instagram post 2192543819648361845_1962947700 When flying foxes attack the instruments on your sailboat mast how would you discourage them? Pulau Tioman in the South China Sea is an idyllic tropical island. It’s a great place to immerse yourself in the natural world, but the animals are not always so kind to sailboats. Every night on Tioman these Large Flying-foxes (Pteropus vampyrus), with wingspans of up to 1.5m, leave the trees in their thousands to feed. On the way they like to stop off on the masts of any hapless sailboat at anchor. They’re big, strong and break important bits of sailing equipment, like Windex wind direction indicators. "Bat attack!

Instagram post 2188596556278480523_1962947700 Millie has not been well. She stopped eating and lost a lot of weight in a short time.  We took her to the vet this week where numerous blood tests were made. The results were generally good, but indicated she might have a problem with her pancreas. We left her on a drip for several hours and she came back to the boat full of the 'oh-be-joyfuls'. Yesterday she stopped eating and became lethargic again. Anyone who knows cats will be aware that the biggest killer is kidney failure. The only test worth a cat taking is the relatively new SDMA test. It detects kidney failure early. We took Miliie to a clinic yesterday to do the test. Jamie held her, the vet's assistant gently pushed her head up and the vet coaxed her to accept first a razor (to remove some fur) and then a needle into her jugular. Millie behaved impeccably. Turned out her pancreas is fine. She’s been diagnosed with stage two kidney failure (there are four stages, so she’s at the lower end of the scale, which is good). Changing her diet is the way to prevent further deterioration. The vet said that for eleven ('old' for a cat in these parts) she is doing very well. 😸 We're trying her with the Royal Canin Renal range - hard, wet and liquid versions. Turns out she loves it and is eating again. . . . #milliethesailingcat #catswhosail #catslife #catsonboats #catlovers #instacat #catonaboat #calicocat #calicocats #sailorcat #sailingcat #sailingcats #boatcat #boatcats #milliethecat #sailboatcat #sailboatcats #sailingday #sailingpassion #sailingtime #sailingroundtheworld #sailingaroundtheworld #sailingadventure #shipscat
