In reply to Becky.

Hi Becky,

During hurricane season, most sailors either stay north of the Carolinas or south toward Grenada, Panama, or Venezuela. That keeps you out of the worst of the hurricane zone.

Of course, this is weather we’re talking about. So nothing is ever certain. 🙂

The best reason of all is the unconditional love and acceptance!!

During our RV trial overnight I admit I was appreciative of Zoe’s attraction to most of the mosquitoes (I justify this selfish thought by doubting the biters could made through the fur to her blood supply.)

Congrats on the boat! You’ll be in it in no time. Maybe we’ll happen to drive by a harbor where you’re anchored one day so we can offer to take you’ll to dry land for the dogs to romp.

Sailing with a dog sounds like an amazing adventure. We can’t wait to hear your tales, but we’re pretty happy right where we are.

Those are some great plus points for having a dog.

P.S. I can’t get any sense out of my biped at present – she’s still laughing because she doesn’t think Honey is big!

From the Husband:

Oregon, here we come! A few thousand miles south to Panama, turn right; through the canal, turn right again. . . but, boy, do I like lunch!

(Of course, you could suggest that we stop being so wimpy, and take the hard way around Cape Horn instead. But then I would have to insist on dinner.)

In reply to Taryn.

From the Husband:

Since there’s so much we have yet to learn about sailing, I’ve suggested to my wife that we might not leave the Chesapeake Bay until 2017. (That could still take us out of MD waters since the bay’s southern end is in VA.)

But given Pam’s eagerness to see and feel the warm blue waters of the Caribbean, I can’t afford to be too dogmatic about this. Otherwise, I might wake up one morning to find that she’s hitchhiked to Bimini.

I bet your getting those funny feelings in your tummy…nervous excitement and fear combined. Reality is about to become real! We hope it all works out as you all want it to.

Had to read because I’ve sailed with a dog before. And I have a feeling I commented about it before. It was a scary experience for me! Small sailboat, 75 pound 11 year old girl, windy day, Shetland Sheepdog = flipped boat lol. You must be very excited though! I’m sure there are tons of adventures waiting for you and Honey.
