Daryl and Marlin, our ship cats! It's Marlin's second season sailing (though he's been with us three years- got locked at the seaport last season for crimes) and Daryl's first! What sweet babies 💖

Darrell's first day as a ship's cat and bosun's mate on the tall ship Lady Washington!
Here he is inspecting the quality of coils, making sure passengers were heeding the "no smoking" rule, and standing bow watch through the anchor hawse.
He looked very dapper in his PFD and sunglasses! (I highly recommend looking into Surfer Cat for harnesses and PFDs made to fit cat bodies specifically. their gear is well designed, and they are a small company with excellent customer service!)

Oh, the Dauntless is the power in these waters, true enough -- but there's no ship that can match the Interceptor for speed.
happy launch anniversary (march 7, 1989) to the lady washington, also known as the hms interceptor!
she still sails to this day, based out of grays harbor historical seaport. if you want to help her stay out on the water for many more years, consider donating to them :D

In Town
Summer scenes around my town. 1. On a sidestreet in Anacortes, a car settles into a bed of dandelions. * 2. At Cap Sante Marina a vintage pleasure craft is at anchor. * 3. The bookshelves beckon at Pelican Bay Books and Coffeehouse. * 4. The curb collects data. * 5. On the dock at the end of Commercial Street, a length of rope frames a machine screw. * 6. At the Port of Anacortes, a…

In today's 9th door I have not only one enchanting beauty for you, there are two of them, in a friendly battle - The Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain
Tumblr media
Lady Washington, left, and Hawaiian Chieftain in a battle
More about them here:
The Brig Lady Washington ( the original ship) was built around 1780 in Massachusetts as a merchant ship. The sloop was named after Martha Washington, but often appears in contemporary documents simply as Washington. In 1787, the ship was acquired by the investor group Bullfinch, Barrell & Company and, under Captain Robert Gray, accompanied the Columbia under Captain John Kendrick on its voyage around the world from Boston to the North American west coast from September 1787. The two ships were lost in a storm and the Lady Washington reached Oregon a week before the Columbia. She was thus the first US ship to reach the west coast. The ships were involved in the fur trade with the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest coast and then sailed on to Guangzhou in China. There, the commanders swapped vessels and the Lady Washington remained in the Pacific. Together with the Grace, she reached the island of Kii-Ōshima in 1791, where she established the first contact between the United States and Japan, while the Columbia returned to Boston on a westerly course in August 1790.
Hawaiian Chieftain is the name of a Square Topsail Ketch briefly known as the Spirit of Larinda. Built in 1988 in Lahaina on the island of Maui, the Hawaiian Chieftain is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional design. She is unique with the rig of a 19th-century trading vessel and a modern triple keel, shallow draft hull. Drawing only 5.5 feet (1.7 m), she is highly maneuverable in shallow waters.

A little snippet from Seacritters, the graphic novel I'm working on with writer Kate Milford.
Monty Mellivore is an idealistic young badger who finds himself on the seafaring adventure of a lifetime after mistakenly signing aboard a pirate ship called the Rodentia.
I spent so much time fleshing out this scene with memories of my own first time climbing aloft on the Lady Washington. This is the "roughs" stage, which is essentially somewhere between thumbnails and pencils. I'm currently fielding notes from the editor and copywriting departments, but after we get those those I'll be turning these into inked pages. There's a lot of story to get through before I draw this sequence, but it's got one of my favorite page turn reveals in the whole book.
(There's a bunch more free process stuff to peruse under the Seacritters tag on Patreon.)
