Round Britain and beyond: a doggy tale, by Derek Lumb
Judging by the pictures people put on their MyCA profiles, we are a pet-loving Association. While it is possible to find temporary minders for a short weekend away, longer cruising can often mean taking pets with us, with all the adjustments that requires. So it was for Jean and Derek Lumb and their border collies: Meg, introduced to the boat at the age of eight; and Tess who sailed with them from about seven months old. The talk will cover their experience of getting a dog used to the boat, toilet issues, impact on passage planning, logistics, going abroad, and the problems and some solutions they’ve found, against the background of three trips around Britain and seasons in the Baltic and Brittany.
