    Remember to be considerate with the fireworks on the 4th. Seems boaters like to celebrate its fine but many of our canine friends don’t tolerate them well. Same goes for our Veterans with PTSD. Years ago I was at Walkers Cay when a bunch of yahoos in a center console were setting off a bunch of fireworks. An older couple in a trawler had their little dog freak out and jumped in the water and drowned.

They ran up to the front did their business and then ran right back inside the boat.
    We're on Pom #5 and all spent lots of time on boats, from my 18' skiff fishing marlin in Hawaii to the 60c in Mexico. All of them except the latest merle would pee on pads. The sod is a great idea! He also gets anxiety under way and has to be with the captain (me) at all times. other than that, he's gotta be with his momma. He went overboard once at the dock and learned his lesson quickly.

    Treats and rewards are the key to acclimating your dog to the boat and associating it with enjoyment not torture. a couple uneventful but happy days onboard should help immensely.

    Fred has trouble distinguishing between SAE and metric tools, so now he’s just a hammer mechanic.
