Okay, so now we know Scotty doesn't know how to read a chart!

and why would I have a chart for LIS, dip****?

Hmmmm. I guess you don't have a GPS either. Most people do. Most people who
sail. Guess that leaves you out!!!! Then again you were sailing around without
a handheld!
What a jerk you are!

What a liar!.

What!? LOL........... And what would I have to gain about saying our dog spent
the day on the cockpit floor if it wasn't true? What am I missing here? Have
you completely lost it?

You're missing brains! I'm sure everyone loves your dog "stories" DAYSAILOR!

Loki is the boat; Molly is the dog.

Molly will try to go where we lead, but she does hesitate. We found the
lifejacket, which has a big handle on it, makes things easy - when she feels you
lift with the handle she knows she's going.

For swimming, we started using the float to give her easy access both up and
down. Its funny, even though she's a Portuguese Water Dog, she prefers the
float to actually swimming. Maybe this year she'll do better - we're told it
really takes a few years to learn how to swim efficiently.

Jeff,
Does Loki go up and down the stern ladder without prodding or do you have to
use an incentive? Chopper will go up fine, but the down trip usually
involves a leap at the last minute, which can be quite unsettling (65 lbs of
dog into the middle of a tippy dinghy...).

So...Scotty has a GPS. Does it have maps? Even without that feature he should
be able to figure out distance to Oyster bay.
Then again, this is Scotty Potti the daysailor we're talking about!!!

"Afraid" to Scotty Potti means dumb enough to leave basic safety gear off the
boat. Yeah, I'm also afraid to sail without lifejackets, flare gun, 3 VHFs, and
paper charts!
What an idiot! Now I remember....you got that POS GPS from test driving a
car!!!
What a total loser!

Bwahahahahaha!

We keep the life hacket on Choppie in the water, roo and wwhile in the
donghy...he has the same "water dog" problem...goes in willingly but won't
swim a lick without the life jacket..prefers to stand on his hind legs
walking out until he's shoulder height standing upright...really
weird....the labs and goldens don't seem to have these
proclivities....haven't tried him on a float, yet...maybe that would
work....

I sail all the time without all the above.


Joe, if you sail without lifejackets, you're not much of a sailor.

Joe, few years back ,Caddy was giving Magellan handhelds ($99 value) to test
drive their new SUV. Didn't have to drive it, the salesman just handed it
over.

NO

From Plowville?


Then again, this is the C&C daysailor we're talking about!!!

So we can assume you went no further than 20 miles.

Not sure this is a poodle thing, Katy. Niki loves to swim. She fetches a
floating dumbbell, occasionally diving under it and snagging it in her mouth
while broaching. We can't keep her in the dinghy anymore.

8 hours for a night sail? What's wrong with that??? You don't sail at

Poor Bob!

What rubbish! Dogs can swim without lifejackets. Just chuck the mutt
into the water and watch her.


Trust me! The dog *can* swim.

Depends on the power of your boat Bob.... Overproof can easily tow an
inflatable because she has the mass and canvas to overcome the drag.

Not all dogs can swim. A dog just drowned outside the harbor at Muskegon
Lake last week when it fell off the boat without a life jacket...many dogs
become frantic and ingest water when they panic and go down...and some dogs
don't have the body to be able to keep themselves afloat, like
bulldogs....we had bulldogs when I was a kid and took them to the
lake..they'd sink like rocks.....their legs weren't long enough to paddle to
keep themselves afloat and their shoulders were too heavy to lift their
heads out of the water....

That is how Donuts' Dad taught him how to swim, tossed him in the lake. Once
little Donut untied and freed himself from the burlap bag, he started to
swim.
