Beryl says “I need your writing help” to all seafaring pets and in particular she wants the help of their owners with internet access. There is a growing resource for seafaring sailors in the form of an online wiki built by and for cruisers. It is called the World Cruising and Sailing Wiki. Sailors from around the world contribute to the information in this wiki so the body of knowledge available to all seafaring sailors is steadily growing. If you have information about world ports, country customs and immigration details, ocean passages, approaches, marinas, anchorages, equipment, and any number of other topics, there is a place for you to share it for all the cruising community. This is the Wikipedia of the world cruising community.

Mahdee’s own contributions include a bit of information about anchorages; more than a year ago, we also worked to put together the page LINK about traveling with pets. Beryl is hoping other travelers will come along and add content to this important page as well as all the rest of the wiki. In particular, Beryl would like to see more information about ocean passages and approaches to all the pet-friendly locations around the world.

Beryl points out that, upon her prompting of the human crew aboard Mahdee who contributed to the wiki, the Pet’s Aboard page includes a photograph of her namesake Beryl Smeeton holding her ship’s cat Pwe, aboard SV Tzu Hang. Beryl would like to see the wiki include more photos of Beryl the cat herself, but the humans aboard Mahdee have been squashing that idea entirely.
