I was happily playing on deck when suddenly that annoying engine started up again. Ugh! Without anyone noticing, I quickly slipped inside. At least itās quiet in there. I heard the anchor rattling and the sail being rolled out, but the only thing that really caught my attention was the delicious smell coming from the oven. Bread! It smelled so good that I almost forgot how irritating the engineās noise was. The sun felt nice through the windows and it seemed like everyone was content. The sea was calm, the view was beautiful and even that other cat wasnāt being a nuisance. But things only got interesting when they pulled a bonito out of the water. Fresh food! Then things really started to get exciting. The waves grew larger and larger, real giants that rocked the boat back and forth. Normally, Iād hide, but as soon as I caught the smell of fresh fish, all my fear disappeared. I jumped around Gregās legs, ready for the little bites he was cutting up. Those pieces of fish⦠hmm, you can always make me happy with that! But then⦠yep, the waves got even higher. So high that the boat was tossed all over the place. Suddenly, it wasnāt fun anymore. I crawled into a corner and hoped it would all be over soon. Luckily, after what felt like forever, we reached the anchorage. As soon as the anchor dropped, I dared to come outside again. I immediately went to my favorite spot in the cockpit, on the port side. I love hanging my paws over the edge there, just watching and enjoying the view. But apparently, they still thought the waves were too dangerous, because before I knew it, I was put back inside. Tsss, I can handle myself just fine! The next day, my humans had a different plan. They went to the beach! Normally, I prefer to stay close to them, but this time I was totally okay with staying on the boat. I watched as they packed the parasol, chairs and some books into the dinghy and sailed off. While they went to the beach for a relaxing afternoon, Nelly and I had the boat all to ourselves. Perfect for some uninterrupted napping.
