VOYAGES OF THE DAWN TREADER

SNUGGLES
BY CAVAN

Snuggles is a very silly cat. He gets to travel around the world in a boat. He can go outside whenever he wants. His only worry is keeping an eye on the pelicans.

In the morning, Snuggles wakes up and squeaks and squeaks and squeaks for food. After he eats he falls asleep again. He has to rest up because he has a lot of sleeping to do and that is hard work. He continuosly squeaks starting half an hour before his dinner time to right as he gets his food. After dinner he goes on a little fuzzy rampage and chases pretend things around on the deck. He goes to bed at the same time as us.

Snuggles is one of the craziest cats ever. He once tried to chase a hawk in our yard. He tried to chase away some deer and got kicked by one. Then he sat on top of the fence and wouldn't let them jump back over it. He even put a dead mole in my shoe.

Whenever Snuggles caught a big mole we said he caught a Reginald. Somehow when we were little we made up a story about the mole king named Reginald. We lost track of the number of Reginalds he caught so we just started saying a random number like Reginald the 87th.

Snuggles is very silly. He is the softest fuzzball in the world. He can be very silly sometimes but we still love him very much!

Vessel Name:	Dawn Treader
Vessel Make/Model:	Islander Mayflower 40
Hailing Port:	Semiahmoo, WA
Crew:	Casey, Carla, Cavan, Tommy, and Sophia
About:	Carla and Casey sailed 3/4's of the way around the world between 1994-1997 on their first boat Briar Rose, a Cascade 29. They came home to begin having children and finally found something they were good at. Cavan is 15 and his brother Tommy is now 13. Sophia is 10.
Extra:	After 8 or so years back on land, Carla began to petition Casey for another boat. For some reason it took a little work, but he came around in the end. They are now looking to set out to sea again with a crew of five. When we began cruising way back in 1994, we had no computer in the beginning, [...] and wrote our logs, journals, and letters by hand. We would photocopy when we could, and then mail the pages back to America. From there it became a kind of samizdat operation where people would make copies of copies and pass them around to all the various people following our journey, a great many of whom, we had never met. Now with blogging sites and technology, people can download videos in mid passage. I'm not sure I want to be that much in touch, but getting the basics of a site for friends and family to be able to follow along at home sorted out now, will be one less thing to do in Turtle Bay.
