Not particularly germane to you question but I'm remided of a tradition on a
large sail training vessel that usually had a few cats aboard. It was
really something to see one out on the end of the boom, playing totally
unconcerned, at 10 knots.

When crew and students were sitting around in the main salon or at dinner,
every once in a while someone would shout out, "Cat Overboard Drill!".
Everyone would then put a hand up in the air and start waving goodby,
usually without looking up from what they were doing.

Thank you so much for this post.
After a 5 min belly laugh,
After a hard day at work,
After 4 shots of the captain
YOU MADE MY DAY!

( I am cat people, down to about 6, I think)
