Today we were all at sea, morning, lunchtime and afternoon, aboard a boat called the Norma Jean. The skipper, Piers Barney, was quite a character; born on and grew up on one of the islands in the gulf, His beloved dog, Skip, always came aboard for the ride.
Skip loves to bark at dolphins. He would get so excited it's a wonder he didn't fall in the water. In the late afternoon he was a bit cold and wet, so took turns snuggling on people's laps.
