Bart,

I have a Rat Terrier, who is a rather lousy sailor.

"There's nothing to do on a boat that's sailing" she says. I've had a
Basset Hound( Great sailor) but she would rather be with me than stay
home. I have to tie her to the inside steering station, with just enough
line to get 2 feet of cockpit space. She went over the side after a
Barking Seal on the Harbor Entrance Buoy.

What a recovery job for a old single hand flying a Gennaker!!! But that
is another story.
