Back again!
Posted: Wednesday, 08 August 2007 |
Back on terra firma once more - we have been away on the boat for a few days with Lizzie, Paula and Keith (Lizzie and Paula are the human daughters of my Dad and Keith is Lizzie's chap). Our visitors were up with us for a few days and we sailed around locally. Of course they were pleased to see me and loved me helping them to wake up each morning!
Oh, before I go any further. I have discovered the true identity of the old moggie that has been so derogatory to me lately. Alas it is a poor old thing with very grey whiskers - I think his name might be Ruby or Gazebo. Just to warn him - any more cheek and I will buy my frisbees from somewhere else!
So back to the voyage. Firstly we watched the start of the West Highland Yacht race which was great. Loads of yachts all heading north towards Oban. I am sure they would all have liked me on board to help with their races. We also caught a glimpse of the viking longship sailing across to Dublin. We had heard that it was going to be in Toberonochy harbour for the night - but alas they decided to bypass Luing and head further south.
We also visited Ardfern on our trip and Crinan - both great places to get on and off the boat. I was, as usual, very well behaved and very brave when we came across any waves.
Now we are back home again for a few days. Mum is off again on her travels next week so no doubt me and Dad will be out and about on the boat again. Below are some photos of me on the trip and one of Dad's boat - it is a converted inshore fishing boat. Dad did all the conversion himself. He is very clever really (but not nearly as clever as I am!!).
That's all for now folks - local cat be warned. I am on your case.

Great photos, Coco. What a bold sea dog you are! I don't know much about boats but your dad's boat looks pretty smart to me.

Hi Coco How proud do you look sat at the head of the boat whilst been rowed around as you should be. I bet your were glad, even so, to reach the yatch. Your dad must be pretty clever to have done all the conversions himself. Has there been anymore trouble from the CAT since you threatened getting your frisbees elsewhere? If it is a poor old thing maybe we should make allowances as we will all be old and grumpy one day. Not that this is any excuse to be rude to you. Keep on having fun and we will keep on living in hope and not on Luing. We are trying really hard to convince the humans to have a few days break up on Luing. They have some time off work in a couple of weeks time, so who knows, we might just get to meet.

Hi Coco We are Lize and Keiths fish, we had to live without them the whole week while they were away, luckily we don't have a very good memory so we didn't get too distressed. We have heard Lize and Keith talking about you, they say that your very handsome but they were not too keen on your face licking. Apparently though you were a bit rubbish at 80's Trivial Pursuit and just through yourself on the board which isn't very sporting is it. Lize and Keith have also laughed alot about how you make your dad row you a shore frequently and that you love doing that in the rain. We are not sure what to believe as Lize and keith are a bit strange. Lots of love Don't and Know x

Hi Don't and Know - you have probably forgotten that you put a comment on my blog already! Yes, I did try to interact with the Trivial Pursuit game - I thought that was what Dad meant when he said Coco would be 'on board'. Barney and Charlie - it would be great to meet up with you. Do let me know if the humans head this way. My mum will most likely be away but I can get Dad to bring me to meet you. Hello Oor Wullie - sorry to gie ye the palpitations mate. Had to go away and look after the humans on the boat. You know what they are like. Jill from EK - my Dad is really good at the old boat building and repairing lark. The boat is bit enough for the three of us plus visitors to enjoy our voyages. I will let Dad know that you thought the boat was good.

I'm having trouble imagining Coco licking fishes' faces and them surviving long enough to tell the tale, never mind remembering what happened in the first place...
