Release the Hounds

These two were so happy to go off leash at the beach.  They immediately hit the water and began running and playing.  Seeing dogs like this brings me so much joy.

Beau

Beau is one of our amazing dogs at Adopt-a-pet.  He is one of the most goofy, sweetest pups around.  I'm quite smitten with this big fella (Don't tell Salty or Chili!!).

Salty On the Sea

This our sweet boy, Salty, in his happy place (our boat).  He loves watching everything going on around him, whether we are at anchor or on a passage.  When we were on our year long cruise to Mexico and back, we learned what a valuable asset Salty was.  He was always on watch.  He'd let us know when there were crab traps ahead, whales, dolphins, or other boats.  He had a different bark/noise for each thing.  We can't imagine cruising on our boat without him!

Boston Harbor Reflections

We try to spend every 3rd of July on our boat at Boston Harbor in Olympia.  They put on a fantastic fireworks show out on the water.  It's always fun to see what new boats are around.  This little beauty caught my eye right away!  I absolutely love the reflections on calm waters!
