Arthur Sails to Canada
Official Crew for Quiet Island #1291
|
Tip 1
The first step to getting your pet ready for the Sailing Experience, is to aclimate him to the equipment.
(an understanding wife is essential during this phase.) |
|
Tip 2
Dogs are very image conscious. You have to convince them that wearing a life jacket will really make them look cool.
|
|
Tip 3
Enforce the rules. No running on the docks! |
|
Tip 4
For longer trips, teach your dog to play cards. They can be a worthy adversary, especially at poker.
|
|
Tip 5
Dogs always call shotgun, even on boats, so get used to it. |
|
Tip 6
Remember, the morning ritual sets the tone for the day. A pleasant sail starts with a happy crew. |
|
Tip 7
Make it easy for your best friend to get back on board after a trip ashore. A ramp can take all the stress out of the daily routine. |
|
Tip 8
Make your trips onshore an adventure!
|
|
Tip 9
Let sleeping dogs lie. Especially if they have claimed a prime spot on the low side. |
|
Tip 10
If you're traveling with a group of sailors, mischief is bound to happen onshore. Sometimes a cute face can make the difference between an adventure and an ordeal. Recognize your assets and use them wisely. |
|
Tip 11
After 1,000 miles on the high seas, a salty dog has earned his place. |
|
Tip 12
But DON"T let him sleep in the v-berth!
|
Post your nautical pet adventure here!
