I think that carrying a dog –a vicious one- is a good thing, when I sail with my daughter in central America, we call the dog “the third sailor” we always keep it in the boat, so we can go shopping in ports without concern of being stolen, and the dog only need some water and a bag of dog food.

Sure, the dog will make his necessities, (in our case, at the front) so you will need a saltwater pump to clean the mess, is a small price to pay to go with our bellowed pet.

BUT do not train the dog to jump from the boat; the dog will jump behind you when you are going to the beach…..
