How to make an ocean plait mat + boat cat Millie is very ill - Sailing Ep 190

👉Filmed before the current worldwide emergency👈
While we waited for Millie’s results and some improvement to her health, we got on with boat jobs and explored the area around the marina.

04:01 And Jamie had a demonstration from Roy of ‘SV Seven Thunders’ on how to make an ocean plait mat. We used an old sheet from an even older foresail to do the job.

After the first visit to the first vet, little did we know we were in for the long haul and for many more visits over the coming months to a total of four different vets.

The new mat is brilliant for Millie to sharpen her claws… and yes, the cat sat on the plait mat!
