We often think
about our BoatPython. Especially when we
get up in the middle of the night… Pete is profoundly grateful he didn’t tread
on it in the dark; that would have been truly ghastly!
The funniest thing
about it was how very unafraid it was of us.
In fact, when I was sitting at my computer, googling How to handle a python, and reading that
it was important not to go close to the snake’s head, or to frighten it, our
very own python was slithering confidently along behind the computer and across
my iPad. I thought that any minute now
it was going to snuggle on down in my lap for a snooze…
We have no idea
how it got on board, or into the cabin.
Through one of the hatches, presumably, and it must have swum out to the
boat and up the ladder to investigate.
But why? And what was it looking
for? We thought it might be after our
eggs but it made its way across our eggcarton without the least interest, and
was more inclined to go in and out of the cupboard which contains soy sauce,
mustard, and marmalade! A mystery of the
sea…
