Slowly working up the nerve to bring my Bengal, Lola, out with us. She's a wild one, and needs lots of room to run and climb. I can see her sprinting the length of the deck and not being able to apply the brakes on gelcoat. She has enough trouble negotiating tight corners on my hardwood floors at full speed without occasionally spinning out and sliding into the wall!
Maybe I should cover the deck with astroturf, or turn the boat into a giant chia pet.
