Mollie liked jumping off the sit-on-top.  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.

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 :-)
