I know that some of you care about Winston more that you care about us... just kidding. I thought it appropriate to put in a few words about how he is doing.
Our longest day on the boat was 11 hours. He did just fine. However, someone, I won't mention any names, thought he should have a 'pee stick' on board. While in Campbell River we tried and tried to get him to pee on the stick while it was secured to the dock. It was not going to happen. Ron secured the pee stick to the boat. Winston wasn't going to have anything to do with lifting his leg that close to the edge of the boat. One day, I glanced around and the pee stick was gone. We had been through some rough weather and it seems the pee stick is floating in the Pacific Ocean.
On the rough water - Winston doesn't like the swells but he is coping very well. He just snuggles with whomever is not steering the boat. We call him the self-tacking dog. As we tack and change directions, so does Winston. He likes to have his little bottom on the lower side of the cockpit. Winston also walks around the cockpit to stretch his legs, have a drink of water and nibble a treat or two.
Our passage times between locations have not been long. Winstson's first order of business when we arrive is to hop in the dinghy and be rowed ashore (if we are anchoring) or be taken to land if we are at dock.
He has had many, many beach walks and forest walks. Bears have been everywhere. If we didn't see the actual bear (from our boat) we did see scat on the path or road. Winston likes to watch the otters and they like to watch him.
He tells us he is enjoying the good live. The smells to sniff are infinite and he gets to be with us 24/7. And no, he does not get sea sick.
