A non-swimming Lab??
Still, if he fell in for some reason you should have a DOB plan in place to
get him back on board.

I can drag his butt back on board but it wouldn't be easy. I am not
really sure how he would fall overboard tho,. He is not a "stand on
the rail" kinda guy.

Are you saying he *can't* swim or just doesn't like it. My pointer doesn't like
being in the water, but she can swim. She was actually afraid of the little
ripples splashing on the shore at Lake Anna here in VA. She finally got to where
she'd go in up to about her stomach to retrieve a ball. Couldn't get her to
voluntarily go any deeper.

I'll probably take her out on the boat this weekend just to see how she does on
the boat. Hopefully, she won't be as afraid of the boat as she is the car.

so what are your plans?

I am sure we will get out a couple times. My priorities have changed.
We used to like high tides so we could go anywhere in the bay. Now we
like low tides so Mr Ed has islands to run around on.

It will be low in the afternoon next weekend

I have a DOB plan. Stick a one finger in his nose, one finger in his
ass, and lift him out.


No one is interested in how you get your daughter out of the pool,
loogy.

Pssst, spoofer, I don't have a daughter.


Whatever...loogy, flajim, snooty, larry, GC, et cetera...you're all the
same sort of mindless asshole, and therefore you are all... "loogy."




I thought we were all flajim, you senile old fart.

Installing AC on a boat is a major project. Are you sure you want to tackle
it just before a long boating weekend?

it's just a window AC unit...will set it up on a hatch...

So...she's seen you drive!
Wait until she sees how you operate a boat.
