Dogs in kayaks and on stand up boards pass GANNET daily. Usually several a day. They are not doing the paddling. They have trained people to do that. I have even seen several two dog boats, which perhaps should be the title of something. I do not recall that dogs on the water were common here five years ago. Almost all of them are wearing life jackets and almost all seem quite content and usually curious. One or two have looked a bit worried, and one yipped continuously until he returned to the dock.
None are the equal to Tom’s, Baby, of whom I have posted pictures before.
Baby stands lookout when Tom paddles his kayak or sails his Welsford Pathfinder, FIRST LIGHT, and wags her tail as a metronome to keep his strokes up to the desired pace.
Tom sent me a video of them out on a beautiful glassy morning in the Florida Keys.
They were out early to avoid the southern summer heat.
At noon today San Diego was 70 with a ‘feels like’ 70. I checked Hilton Head which was 92 feels like 108. Hmmm.
When I went up to shower a power boat named BAD BUOY was being hauled from the water.
