Sadly the weather wasn't great for us this year but still enjoyed the boat when possible.

Using the principle that the best day to boat is today, here are some from this morning

A little sunshine on the sea


Fort of Bregancon, I believe that the President is in residence


And the lovely port of Lavandou

Looks a bit shiny Bouba ... what you using, anything special?

Just the usual, salt spray surface rust and slime?

Bouba, I met several folks whose traits eventually resemble their own dogs.
But if the avatar is anything to go by, in your case the similarity is truly amazing!

It goes well beyond looks. There’s also fleas, bad breath, scratching and farting?

This morning on the Plage de St Clair

Found a beach restaurant opened. Not bad for December 30th?

Apparently the hound can be quite antisocial as well

Not as antisocial as his dad?

Our own semi-social hound, turned 13 last Friday. Celebrated with a walk along the Dart.

He could be my brother ??

best pic of the year for me was this:

but them being silly swimming the seadog out for her needs in the morning with a leash (FFS!) has a story behind it.
we anchored overnight in this tight deep bay alone -you can see the stbrd stern rope to the rocks there's another one to port (wouldnt be easy for someone else to fit tbh) in this island where only two monks live, ah, and LOTS of goats all around. That's the whole thing:

So the evening before, I explained to the ever stressed daughter that it's a practically a deserted island, just let the dog go out and let her explore and walk around. So she listened to me (not often she does...) and came back to the boat leaving her there. Now, Ira (the dog) found chasing goats a fun game, only she got slightly lost in the various small paths with vegetation higher than her, so ended up not being able to go back to the beach but thought it was a good idea to stop in an elevated part of the port side where she could see as and bark waiting
So daughter had to swim to get her and bring her home.

Hence next morning (although all goats had gone and none was around) she insisted she takes Ira with the help of her friend to the beach on the leash. Needless to say I didn't say a thing just got the phone out to capture the moment

cheers

Does the dog normally swim ashore on her own to go to the toilet? Them swim back again?

Does the dog normally swim ashore on her own to go to the toilet? Them swim back again?

she's usually in the water with the first one in, but generally waits for Rafaela to be around and approve.
Obviously depends where we anchor but 99% it's rope to the rocks so not far from some sort of land, but again sometimes it's not easy for her to climb. Sometimes we take her out with the dinghy or an inflatable canoe thing.
So, the answer is typically not, although it has happened a few times.

Had a great first summer with our new boat, Clan 2. The highlight was a three week trip west, where we had planned to get to the Scilly Isles however the weather prevented us getting quite that far! We did however have a great time getting as far as Mylor which is just wonderful as was Dartmouth.
