Mishaps and Memories

Sep. 6, 2005 - MOB practice

This coming weekends a bit restricted...

 

The inlaws are away on their hols, and they normally have the dog while we go sailing. We would take the dog with us, but she's rather elderly, less than 100% stable on her feet, and has rapidly deteriorating eye sight and hearing, and in our opinion, it wouldn't be fair on her to take her on the boat.

 

Long range forecast for Saturday is dire anyway... wet, cold and windy, so we are going to just day sail Sunday.

 

We've been threatening for several months to do more MOB drills, so thats what we are doing.... one poor victim fender is really going to get it in the neck this weekend, along with his partner in crime, bucket.

For a moment, thought you were going to practice dogoverboard. Re-read, and realised dog would not be on board in the 1st place. Have called off the RSPCA.
As an afterthought though, you might be more motivated about saving the dog, rather than the poor old fender. Is there a RSPCF?

Lets start one......

Suspect that if I threw the dog over the side, then SWMBO would jump in after her, so that wouldn't work that well.... !
