We're thinking about a weekend afloat at a nearby anchorage for the water equivalent of a rally with a number of friends. This will be a 'first time' for the dogs, and we're not sure how they'll do. OTOH they're both very comfortable hopping into the paddle boat when Chris paddles around our bay. Today I washed the old tub, and Chris cleaned the bridge. Both doggies hopped aboard (one reluctantly), followed Chris up the stairs, and made themselves comfortable. What they haven't yet been exposed to is hopping in the dinghy to make a 'shore run' to take care of business.
Meanwhile, our recent 5200 miles road trip was a first for the doggies. They were unsettled the first couple of days, but they eventually settled down after figuring out that we'd stop periodically to let them out (on leashes).
