Nemo... Captain Nemo.

Nemo is a Jules Verne hero, a cute animated clownfish with an Australian accent, and... our cat.  Okay, I won't go into another drawn out naming story.  But, I must describe life aboard Columbine from Nemo's point of view because he plays a large role in defining our cruising life.  He is, according to the vet, "big boned."  Having a ship's cat has historically been seen as good luck, probably because of their role in keeping other peskier animal numbers low.  From what we've seen so far, Nemo doesn't seem to take this part of the job very seriously.  His role is primarily comic relief.
