Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Living aboard a 37-foot boat with a 40-pound dog requires consistent routines for shore access, waste management, and safety during passages. Mac and Jenny maintain a twice-daily shore schedule for their dog, Disco, using a dinghy to reach land for exercise. When shore access is impossible due to weather, wildlife, or regulations, the dog uses a designated piece of AstroTurf on the bow.3:22 Training the dog to use this surface required 16 to 18 hours of patience and positive reinforcement. During sailing, the dog stays in the cockpit under the dodger in calm conditions or moves below deck during rough weather.1:29 Owners should carry updated rabies vaccination records for international travel and flea and tick medication for regions like Mexico. A Dremel tool helps manage nail length to protect cushions, while regular brushing and vacuuming minimize fur accumulation in the cabin. Using a reliable outboard motor simplifies frequent trips to shore, especially when landing on rocky beaches.
