After several trips for preparation and on board training by their human crew, the feline officers of Nordic Tug 42 “Joy Girl” have made the long journey from Colorado and moved aboard and assumed command of their new vessel.

Here we see Roswell, sitting and looking stately as he prepares to take command from the pilothouse.

Meanwhile, Scully was spending some time checking out the view to starboard from the pilothouse screen door.  She was fascinated (and, seeing that she’s a cat, perhaps a bit concerned) to look out and see all that water, and was quite intrigued when the boat in the next slip started shooting out water (perhaps from their gray water tank or AC units).

Happily and much to the relief of their human crew, Scully and Roswell are adapting to their new home quite well.  With their “Cats On Board” flag proudly  hoisted to the masthead, these two officers of the ship are enjoying exploring their vessel and meeting new friends here at Shelter Cove Marina on Hilton Head Island.
