Sophia wanted to call her The Sleeping Kitten. I wanted the more esoteric ‘Moment’ as in, “I began life in the cut on The Spectrum, but now I am living in The Moment.” Sleeping Kitten’s Moment became our temporary consensus. With a few year’s consideration, we’ve decided to settle on Cormorant instead. Some day we’ll get around to painting it on the side...
My life on the water began during the first Covid-19 lockdown on a tiny narrowboat called The Spectrum. She was, at the time, moored at Kings Cross just a few minutes walk from Sophia’s school.
