CAPTAIN LIZ CLARK IS LIVING THE DREAM. The sailor and environmentalist bought a 40-foot sailboat years back, worked on getting it shipshape, renamed it “Swell,” and has been sailing around the world on it since 2006. Clark has an unusual first mate, though: her cat, Amelia.
“Amelia the Tropicat” was adopted by Liz when the cat was a mere 6-months old, and she has grown used to life on a ship.
Over the years, Liz has sailed all over the Pacific.
Amelia the Tropicat likes to fish — with limited success.
Amelia gloating over her first official fishing success…🐟 i have tried to make her a few different kinds of floating platforms to fish from, but she never liked them. recently a friend gave us a soft-top surfboard and it turns out that #Tropicat finds it up to her standards. woke up to 2 of these on the floor of the cabin…she ate one, then carried this one around all morning…🏆 #thanksGael!! @patagonia_surf @mizulife @loveavasol @zealoptics @ecoflex_

The two now criss-cross the Pacific, looking for environmental projects to help out in, and living off of renewable energy sources.
If this isn’t the dream, I don’t know what is.
Liz says Amelia “has to go out of a cat comfort zone often, but I think she now understands that I will keep her safe and she will have a lot of fun in the end.”
You can follow Captain Liz and Amelia the Tropicat’s adventures as their Instagram, or at her blog, Swell Voyage.
