One late summer I went on a week long self-contained wilderness blueberry hunt
on Superior with the Great McCann and Morrigaine the Cat.  (Sorry Dave, not
you.  I'm talking about your cousin Janet who is the brains of your clan.)

I had a terrifc time.  So did Morrigaine, who enjoyed hiking about on the
beaches and checking out the brush.

The Great McCann was a true blueberry daemon sneaking into heaven, who mowed
through blueberry fields for hours at a time, only stopping when she could hold
no more, laying in the bushes, making bleating urping noises.

Boats and blueberries and cats:  of such are great adventures made.

Here's a pic of Morrigaine the Ship's Cat standing watch during the Great
Blueberry Expedition:
