We encountered rough seas coming out of Naples in Gordon Pass and into the Gulf to Fort Myers this pass Spring. We estimated 7-9 ft. waves. This was totally unexpected as we would have stayed put in the marina. Prediction was 3-4 ft. seas. Sun, our little 12 lb. poodle, planted his feet firmly on the carpet, nails dug in with legs spread wide apart and held on like that while his master went down on his knees twice trying to secure things flying about. The Admiral took the helm to plow through the wave action coming abeam, forward and aft. Sun began throwing up about 10 minutes into the trip. He always wears a life jacket while underway as do his owners. When we are on long passages across the Gulf and expecting seas more than 3 ft. we give him 25 mg. Dramamine as prescribed by his Vet. That works fine for him. He likes to park himself on the sofa while underway and he tries desperately to keep his sleepy eyes on us. We drive our boat at the down helm where it is much more comfortable. Jane, Kerry and Sun Dog Aboard Diamond Sun, Hatteras 50 Beach House Marina, Surf City, NC
