It has been nearly a week since the rascal Dee Dee had her dolphin adventure. There has been much discussion on the ActiveCaptain Facebook page and elsewhere as those of us who choose to live on a boat with our four-footed family members try to process…

Swims With Dolphins
“Motor vessel near buoy XX, I think you’ve just had a dog jump off the back of your boat.” I was piloting and I’d just said to Jeff, “I see Dylan but not Dee Dee. You need to go look.”We were in our third day of dolphin heaven with the crew on high ale…
Happy Thanksgiving!
We’ve heard about the St Marys’ Boaters Thanksgiving in Georgia for years but it has never worked into our plans. So this year we decided to make an effort to be there. If you are not familiar with the event, residents of the town of St Marys cook turk…
On The Move
Dylan and Dee Dee wish to apologize for the neglect of their blog these past couple of weeks. It has been a busy time as they help move the boat south in search of warmer climes. Unfortunately, they were not to be found. The whole crew watched in disma…

Don’t Leave Us!
Every time we leave Dylan and Dee Dee on the boat and go somewhere we get “the look.” If you have a dog you know exactly what I mean. That “this is worse than being beaten and starved and thrown off a train” look. How could you leave me? What could pos…
A Monster and I Can Prove it
We often call the little whirlwind that is our Dee Dee, a monster. I know that those who see her beautiful face doubt me but I have irrefutable proof.When we first picked up our little girl I noticed that she had two unusual swirls of fur on either sid…
