Ole is the
master of all things mechanical, electrical, hydraulic,
navigational,
electronic, buoyant and bottled. Onboard he is the
deck, engine, carpentry,
painting and facilities department, as well as the
designated food taster and
wife warmer.
While not
aboard Emma Jo, he can be found on one of Royal Caribbean's
ships, heading up the engine department.
Here he is
in standard tropical day uniform, contemplating the
autopilot.
Jan
acts as figurehead, chef, assistant navigator, deckhand,
bartender, chief
housekeeper, accountant, knot specialist, cruise
director, naturalist, cat steward, and husband snuggler.
This
standard, out-in-
the-middle-of-the-ocean uniform is
vintage Tahiti, circa 1985.,
While
onboard, she writes, designs websites,
and develops corporate/managerial
 training
programs.
Barclay
is the designated sea-dog, assistant
food-taster, dock inspector, and rat catcher extraordinaire.
At nearly 16 years old, she speaks several languages and
is an excellent swimmer. In her spare time, she
studies philosophy
and comparative religion.
Maggie
pictured here in her usual attitude, is nearly 14 years old,
and is soon going to "the clearing at the end of the path."
We think she has hyperthyroidism, in that her metabolism has
raced her from nearly 14 lbs in summer 2007 to only 4 lbs at
present -- and the local veterinarian cannot do anything for
her. She gets lots of love and hugs |
