Lila the mighty swimming cat & Tim/Paul Maine-ians teach about mussels


Now this is a cat that can swim!! Wow you should have seen her.  We have it on video. She swims like a water dog.  I have no doubt now that she actually swam to that boat.  (I thought maybe that boat got a little close and Lila jumped in his dinghy then the boats parted. But after today no way she swam!) She even knew to look for our rope ladder!  That is why she went swimming today so we know she knows where the rope ladder is located.  She did just fine and passed with flying colors.  Not only that but she seemed to like the water and float with Ben without getting all upset or crazy!!! Last year when Owen went in… oh my, I think Ben still has scars.  Plus he panicked and tried to climb on top of the water which just made things worse!

We are in Maine! At our designation so there is no rush.  We will see what we can see. Experience what we will experience and soak up God’s grace and joy!

This morning I did a little work from my office.  My Floating Virtual office that is on the deck.  Where I could see 360 degrees of beauty and wilderness. And islands.  Too fun!

Ben and I went exploring and we are going to sleep at a campsite tonight right across from the boat.  It should be fun except for misquitos! Yikes!!  Lila needed a little shore leave.  Well I think Ben too.  He is there now while I take a few to do some work then I’ll be over.

Today we met Tim and Paul two kayakers! They are so fun!  They taught us how to collect blue Mussels and how to cook them… so here goes.  I’ll let you know tomorrow.

  1. Hello Pam and Ben. It was so nice to meet you yesterday on Little Snow Island, such a beautiful day and location. Tim and I were very interested in hearing about your adventure on Cricket, she is certainly a beautiful yacht and very seaworthy looking. It will be a lot of fun following you on your travels, and experiencing Maine and beyond vicariously through your eyes. Take care and if you do pass through Portland please let me know, we have a guest bedroom for you if you would like to take a break from Cricket. Best of luck to you and God Bless ! Paul
