A tradition among people who take cruises frequently is to bring small rubber ducks and hide them on the ship. If you find one of these cute little ducks, you are instructed to either keep it or hide it for someone else. Attached to the duck is always a note from the giver with their name and residence.
Another part of the protocol is to photograph the duck and post it to the “cruising ducks” Facebook group. I can’t believe that for the first time ever, not only did I find a duck, but today, I found a second duck and he is specifically a travel duck and is carrying a suitcase.
One family lives in California the other family lives in Georgia.
This time, I saved the ducks but the next time, I will photograph them and hide them again.🐥
Here is an article that describes the tradition of cruising ducks:
