The Bosun Sails His Final Cruise

After several days of not eating or drinking coupled with unusual lethargy, the Bosun sought medical attention at a veterinary clinic when we arrived in Charleston.  Unfortunately, he was suffering from advanced kidney failure from which there was no reasonable chance of a satisfactory recovery.  He died Saturday afternoon.

His shipmates are bereft and heartbroken.  It’s hard to believe how much joy a demanding Cat (he would want the uppercase “C”) could bring.  We hope he’s watching chipmunks and red squirrels from a screen porch in Cat heaven.
