Dogs can be curious creatures, but sometimes it’s not in their best interest to engage with sea life.
The nurse sharks are keeping a close eye on the fish cleaning that we are doing near by. Jasper, the springer spaniel, is keeping a close eye on the nurse sharks.
If your dog likes to jump off docks, this might be a good time to have him on a leash. Ours are just curious and stay out of the water.
Nurse sharks are gentle creatures, and some of our group actually swam with them. I guarded the dogs, you know . . . just in case they needed guarding.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’d be guarding too. Swimming with even gentle sharks would most likely end in disaster for me. However, the water looks beautiful – I wish I were swimming there today instead of 2500 in a pool!

Now I’m jealous. 2500 in a pool. Sounds like great exercise. One of my favourites.

Great photo! I bet you’ll find a way to work this into your next book. Maybe Kalin and Ben will go on a honeymoon in the Bahamas!

Great idea. Now to think of a crime . . . And how does Kalin get involved? There are so many ways someone could go overboard, but is it an accident or not?

What a great picture. No pets on this boat, but I can understand keeping a close eye on yours. We started this great adventure with two teenagers. I think we’d been better off with dogs. They please their masters a bit better than children do.

Pets do try to please their owners, but they also like to eat their owner’s favourite (and only one on board) leather purse! I guess their are pros and cons to every thing.

Great photo!
Jasper looks to me like he’s seriously thinking about jumping in there with them. Our dog,Spike, wouldn’t jump in, but he’d be barking his head off.

Jasper didn’t jump in, but I have to say we were worried about it. You just never know.
