Once I attached a bucket to my stern of the sit-on-top or the Sea Lion, she was much better about remaining onboard. Mollie is a water lover. If you want practice in learning to control your boat in rough conditions.... paddle with TWO westies in a bucket mounted on top of your stern hatch 8-) Works especially well when there are lots of big birds gliding around, back and forth overhead. > You'd think that he would have learned.... That's what makes them so like many of us... we keep going in and calling it fun no matter how beaten up we get :-) cheers, jackie *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
