Paul the Cat is a wonderful sailor. He walks placidly down the bowsprit to his station.

Once there, he takes a moment to inspect his surroundings.

Trusted by the helmsman, Paul keeps a lookout on the bow.

On a hot summer day such as this one, Paul is granted his break early. He takes it with relief and exits the vessel via an oar.

Sweet relief. A swim in Mecox Bay does wonders to cool Paul’s sun-heated black fur.
