I was going to head down there yesterday afternoon, but we had a visitor
at
the house so I will leave later this morning. I bought a Satellite dish
and a DirecTV receiver, hooked it up at the house and got it activated
and
working. Today, I'll install it on the Navigator and will be all set
with
it and the excellent WiFi service they have.

Makes the winter almost bearable.
Sounds good except for the winter part. Do you bring Sam Adams along
for company or does he enjoy having exclusive use of your favorite
chair at home?


I bring him along once in a while. He enjoys sitting at the pilothouse side
door watching the ducks, swans, seagulls and occasional fish jumping in the
water. I brought one of those furniture moving blankets that I spread out
over the leather couch in the main salon. He claimed that as his bed.

It's much easier to get him on the Navigator than the GB. He's a really
cool dog, but not much of an athlete. At 100+ lbs it's a pain picking him
up to get on the GB. On the Navigator he just steps onto the large,
fiberglass swim platform and then through the transom door onto the cockpit.

I had an older dog with arthritis. He hated being carried on board the
boat, so I had plywood board cut the right size so he could easily walk
on board. I think they actually sell something like this, but it was
easy to have the board cut and then place foam insulation (the kind they
sell to wrap around pipes) on the ends so it would not scratch the
fiberglass.
