Sailing with your dog: Another great resource
I recently lavished praise on Jessica Stone’s book Doggy on Deck — Life at Sea with a Salty Dog. One of the resources she listed is a blog called SailCharbonneau.com, which describes “the sailing adventures of the Parks’ Family.” Janet and Blaine Parks and their two Golden Retrievers (Max and Bailey) sail the world on their 1999 Island Packet 40 called Charbonneau, though right now they’re docked in Charleston, refilling the cruising kitty.
Their blog is full of useful information, but the part I want to highlight is called “Sailing with Pets.” I particularly love the directions for making a Monkey’s Fist toy for your dog out of old line, and the section on Pet-friendly Anchorages Along the US’ East Coast and Bahamas is invaluable. Check it out!
