Wife insisted taking our 1 yr old Golden Retriever sailing today
against my wishes. "She won't be in the way" she said. Damn dog took
up most of the cockpit floor and I could not adjust the main cuz he
was sitting on the mainsheet. Boat is trying to jibe and I can't
adjust for a "soft" jibe instead of a hard one because of him.
A little choppy, maybe 3' seas, maybe 12 kt wind, a nice day for
sailing. Dog never looked ill but immediately after jibe, BARF, BARF,
all over the cockpit. Never taking the dang dog again.


The guy I crewed with took his little Border Collie on occasion.
That dog was no problem.
