Hi, hello, oh my gosh welcome! There are a lot of new folks here, thanks for joining us!
I didn't expect my post about Darrell the Bosun's Mate Cat aboard Lady Washington (i.e. my son) to spread so far, but now that it has broken containment and brought so many new people to my blog I figure I should introduce myself.
I'm Brooke, and I'm a tall ship sailor, which means I make a very meager living by bouncing around to sail and teach on different historical masted sailing vessels around the US (and the globe eventually, but at the moment just the states). At least for now I have my four year old cat Darrell with me and the plan is to continue bringing him with me on my contracts when I can, but this is his first time as a boat cat so I'm still not sure whether he'll like it enough to continue traveling with me full time. So far he's been a bit skittish but overall seems like he'll adjust just fine!
Currently I'm working my fourth contract on Lady Washington in the Pacific Northwest and I'll try to post pictures and updates about that. I am bosun this year, so I'm very busy, but I'll try my best to at least do monthly photo dumps. Up til now my blog has just been a random assortment of reblogged posts I find intersting, and it will continue to be mostly that, but I will start tagging my boat life and cat posts as #boat adventures and #darrell blogging respectively so they will be easier to find for those who are interested. If it's your thing, Darrell does have an Instagram @burntnoodlecat which I will also try to update more.
I hope you stick around! and that I'm able to remember to post and tag shit consistently
