[Pblais]

We started last year with our 8 year old male Welsh Corgi. Up to that point we did not travel with him. He does fine even if I really think he would rather not go sailing. He would rather be with us than be left behind and in the end I think all dogs feel this way. He snoozes in the cockpit just as well as he does at home.

He has taken to being a jumper and up to recently his aim was quite good. So we have to keep him tethered all the time or below. He can;'t handle the ladder so it's secure to put him below when at anchor or port. He seems to think he can leap from the boat to the dock with infinite distances.

He seemed to get sick only once but it was not until later at night. We concluded the wild day of rough weather torrential rains and lots of water in the cockpit and he seemed to handle it even if he didn't like it (we did not like it at all). He just lost his appetite and ate dinner slow some 4 hours later, then threw it up. He was fine by morning.
