Oliver Widger, who also was greeted by Hawaii Gov. Josh Green at the Waikiki Yacht Club on Oahu, acknowledged he was nervous facing the crowd, which included reporters. Widger said he was feeling “really weird” — not seasick, but, “I just feel like I have to, like, hold on to things to not fall over.”
He became an online sensation with his story, which followed a diagnosis four years ago with a syndrome that carried a risk of paralysis and made him realize he disliked his managerial job. He quit his job with “no money, no plan” and $10,000 of debt — and the goal of buying a sailboat and sailing around the world.
If the cat is fed, watered, and has clean litter… not seeing a problem here. No different from being in an apartment, except it moves(!)
I don’t know what kind of apartment you live in, but my apartment is several times larger than the inside of his sail boat. It’s also not endangering the cat’s life. But hey, some of us like cats… some of us just think a pet is a slave.
Ships have frequently had cats on them basically since the inception of seafaring.
Cats’ personalities vary wildly, it’s not hard to believe that many would be just fine with it.
I have personally watched a cat in a raft go through class 2-3 rapids in a tiny little life vest having the time of his life.
I mean, either way, from the perspective of the cat, not a lot of difference. ;)
I’m guessing you have dogs.
Four cats, but I do have a grand-dog and dogphew.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat.
