Shhhh… the Can Opener’s studying.
Books, maps, divider, plotter, pencils and erasers to chase and to play with. I love it when he studies.
I stretch out, right in the middle of the biggest map – making sure it’s the one he’s trying to work on, of course. That way the focus is where it should be – on me.
Today we’re working on tidal atlases, piloting and passage making. It’s gonna be grrreat!
I’m leaving the Can Opener to it for a moment – I hear a restorative smoked oyster calling my name. I do find this studying gig to be very hard going.
