Dogs and Crusing
Does anyone have experience cruising with a small dog?
Next year we will sail the milk run of the Atlantic: Azores, Canaries, St. Lucia and lesser antilles in Caribbean, Bermuda. Some islands have pet restrictions. Are they strictly enforced or can a small dog go discretly ashore? |

The dog gets 6 months in quarantine if you have the cash to pay the fees in advance, otherwise destroyed. You get to spend 2 years sharing a cell with an assrapist called Bubba. -- My real address is crn (at) netunix (dot) com WARNING all messages containing attachments or html will be silently deleted.

Are they strictly enforced or can a small dog go discretly ashore? Some Islands have very strict rules which include a quarantine. There is a very good list on the following web site, www.sailcharbonneau.com/QuarantineImport.htm I hope this is what you need. Most British Islands have the 6 months quarantine rule. If you break the rule, you may be jailed and fined. Jim Carter "The Boat" Bayfield |

SIX MONTHS? Does that mean you can't see your dog for 6 months?

... SIX MONTHS? Does that mean you can't see your dog for 6 months? Yes, that's what it means. Quarantine for six months. not quite - you can visit. My wife's mother married a brit and they moved to Guernsey when she was 8, taking their dog. Weekly visits on Saturday - and that dog knew when they were coming, according to the folks who ran the impound...

Considering the problems a lot of places are having with BSE and foot and mouth, my suggestion is "don't cruise with a dog". It's disrespectful to try to sneak an animal into a country that has a problem with it, whether you think it's "fair" or not. R. |
