Back at the Nauticat

Well this cruising season has started off quite different from the start of last year. There are no Ratzovas inhabiting the boat this year. No mess downstaires like last year. Its actually starting off more like the end of last year. Nauticat continues to be a Chick Magnet of a boat. There are chicks crawling all over the place down here. And i mean major good looking chicks. And they are hanging around the Nauticat just like last year. And these are nice chicks. Not the local black chubby chicks you see so often. But a nice chocolate brown and svelt and skinny. fancy free and adventourous. Also gracefull and agile. These chick know how to live life, they like to fly free and soar to their hearts content. Adventourous, just like i like them. And they do like boats and to hang around boats. And they like the Nauticat. But they are also quite considerate as they dont hang around during the day when i have work to do. They dont disturb me at all. They come around after i have finished my work and most times want to sleep over. Who am I to say no.
Unfortunately these are real chicks with feathers or as others would say, chickens. And they can fly down here. Instead of roosting in a tree, these lovely little chicks have taken to roosting on the Nauticat. Right at the drivers seat. And they like to shit as they sleep. And there was shit all over the place. Does that mean the skipper likes to attract shit? Or is he just a shitty skipper? So while i wont be cooking Ratatooie or Ratolini this year i will switch my diet to Chicken catch a torie or chicken catch it any way you can. There is a good local recipie for Jerk (their necks) Chicken thay will come in handy. Thank goodness I had a chicken coop and am used to cleaning it.
