Summary "The Boy, Me and the Cat: Cruise of the Mascot, 1912-1913" by Henry M. Plummer is a memoir chronicling a sailing adventure undertaken in the early 20th century. This historical account tells the story of a father and son, along with their cat Scotty, as they embark on a journey aboard their small boat, the Mascot, navigating the waters along the Atlantic coast. The narrative is likely to capture the spirit of exploration and the challenges faced during their voyage, providing readers with insights into life at sea during that era. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the Mascot, a 30-year-old Cape Cod catboat preparing for the journey ahead. The narrative begins with the meticulous outfitting of the boat and the excitement of setting sail, offering anecdotes about the preparations and the initial stages of the voyage. Throughout the opening portion, we are introduced to the dynamics between the crew—Plummer, his son Henry, and their cat—and the events that unfold as they navigate unfamiliar waters, contend with changing weather conditions, and soak in the beauty of their surroundings. The author also hints at the challenges of sailing life, including mishaps and the budding bond between them as they face the sea's unpredictability together.
