Dylan and Dee Dee’s best buddy, Gracie, is the world champion when it comes to jumping the waves. The Red Head crew sure misses you sweet girl!
For those who have followed the blog for some time, you might remember that Dee Dee, in her youth, had to be tethered at the beach. She seemed to think she could swim to Portugal.
Dora is following in Dee Dee’s footsteps but she has decided maybe she can run down the beach to Portugal. Dad has decided to tether her instead.
It’s not slowing her down a bit.
She’s even taking a lesson from Dee Dee on handling waves. Air Dora?
Ever since Dora’s first docking adventure Red Head has been outfitted with an increasing array of barries. She’s been nicknamed Houdini as she finds new ways to get where she wants to go.
Her dad created a platform to assist getting the dogs from the boat to the fixed dock at various tides here in the Bahamas. Incorporated is a barrier to keep them from attempting a getaway – actually, to keep Dora from escaping.
A 100+ foot yacht pulled in beside Red Head this weekend. There were several young crewmembers who spoiled the Red Head crew. They were preparing to leave just as the crew returned from the beach. As Dee Dee was being rinsed, there was a commotion on the dock. Dora had escaped and was running around on the yacht. As no one saw the actual escape, we assume Dora crawled under the ramp and unto the dock.
So now there is a new barrier…
This morning Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora did something a little bit different. They hung a right out of the marina and went to Bardot Beach. It’s a small rocky beach a bit closer to the marina. It is also on the leeward side of the island so the waves were quite small. Dora even ventured further in and swam once or twice.
Of course, Dora also went on a little adventure up the cliffs. Maybe she is named after Dora the Explorer.
Dylan was happy to settle in with a coconut. Where will the crew head to tomorrow morning? You’ll just have to wait and see.
Dee Dee is the one who does the heavy lifting every morning at the beach here in Great Harbour Cay. She braves the waves to retrieve the bumper.
Dylan and Dora wait to ambush Dee Dee when she gets back to shore.
There’s a little tussle which usually ends with Dora getting the bumper. Dee Dee is tired, after all, from her swim. Unfair, you might say. Not really, Dee Dee just loves to be out there swimming!
It may have been 3 years since Dee Dee played in the Bahamas waves, but she’s still got what it takes.
Dylan found his first coconut of the Twelve Sandy Paws cruise on the beach this morning. When it comes to shucking a coconut, Dylan is the master.
Dora decided to take a lesson.
There’ll be plenty more to come.
Now that Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora have made their second morning trip to the beach, there is no turning back. It is now an imperative – mornings are beach time.
Dee Dee is the brave one that fearlessly battles the waves to retrieve the bumper. Dylan follows to lend moral support and maybe grab it from her.
Dora waits at the water’s edge to steal the prize and hopefully get someone to chase her down the beach. Good times!
Today is Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora’s first full day at Great Harbour Cay. That means… beach time! The crew was out at 9:00 am and on their way to the beach. Dora is still just a wader but Dylan and Dee Dee swam until they were about to drop. The Red Head crew is sure gonna like it here….
