Getting My Bearings

OK, its about time I got the real story out on this 'Great Loop Adventure' my folks are telling ya'll about. First of all, we have been gone from my deck for five days and traveled only 2 of those days....at this rate I won't get back to my real home until who knows when...I don't think Mom and Dad care much about that. We are in Mississippi at Midway Marina (if you click on the pic of the marina you can see my new home Here and Now on the right) which I kinda like because I get to walk and meet other dogs almost like me (non Westies). We had a long day yesterday going through three locks but good thing about locks is Dad turns the engines off and it is much better. So, when we are underway (a term my Dad uses) I sleep a lot. However, my Dad gets a little nervous at times and I have to help out with navigation as you can see in the picture attached. Also, while underway I am getting to know Mom a little better and I think she is OK...gives me treats when I go in my kennel.

We are leaving early in the morning headed further south with four locks and about 59 miles. It will be slow going for a few days due to some woman called Ida......they say she is in Gulf of Mexico and the marinas are full with no boats moving south.

I am starting to get my bearings on the boat and now can climb all the steps and know where they hide the fun stuff to chew on....I really like the full water bottles to play with!!!

So long for today....Wag More, Bark Less ...nice saying but not for me....I say Wag More, Bark More!!!
