First, we go to the City Marina...Good questions...<br /><br />First, we go to the City Marina after the beach every day before going back to the boat. There they get a good rinsing off to remove the salt and sand. Although we don't sense any salt on the boat, the dinghy and outside of the boat has lots of sand. When we have good access to water, we'll rinse everything off. For now, it's just a sign that the dogs are happily swimming.<br /><br />Next, when we get back to the boat, both dogs get dried with towels. Neither of them likes it much but they know they can't go inside until it happens.<br /><br />When we return to the boat in the morning, they also know that it's breakfast time so they are mostly concerned about eating. We often feed them in the cockpit, outside, and they're usually dry enough when they're done eating.<br /><br />Finally, after we've had breakfast, both dogs have to get ear drops or else they're prone to infections. We haven't had any trouble yet since leaving Maine even with all of the swimming.<br /><br />It's a full day before we even get started in the morning!MV Red Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746387118276013808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094657631101054024.post-68183399185836194542010-03-09T11:52:39.893-05:002010-03-09T11:52:39.893-05:00Sounds like Marathon is a great place to stay.
T...Sounds like Marathon is a great place to stay. <br /><br />The dogs are delightful, but how do you cope with salty and sandy paws and fur on the boat? Do you rinse them in fresh water when you bring them back on board after a beach outing? Do the dogs stay happily in the cockpit until they dry off?<br /><br />Enjoy the blog very much.jschieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071481756313076150noreply@blogger.com
