Hoyt Cup Weekend..Lake City Yacht Club

Well, It's Sunday evening and we just got home from Lake City not to long ago. It was a great weekend! We took first in the Hoyt Cup, which is the last regatta of the year, that is named after a guy with the last name Hoyt. Hence the name Hoyt Cup...

Jed, Gus and I got down to LCYC on Friday night. It was Gus' first weekend on the boat. He did really well. He was a little nervous at first walking down the dock but got the hang of it.

Here I am in the V Berth where I'd like to be sleeping, BUT.........even though the cushions are waterproof.......mom and dad say the blankets are not.

I got to spend some quality time yesterday watching my Dad out sailing. Sorry the picture is so far away. They were going so fast it was hard to keep them in the view finder.

Gus had a lot of "firsts" this weekend. Being on the boat was a big one, being this is a big part of our summer weekends. He met a golden doodle named Wilson. He was a GIANT Gus. It was hilarious to watch them play. I think Wilson thought he had a shadow he just couldn't shake.

I don't think I've ever seen Gus that pooped out. With all the fresh air and playing much harder than usual he has slept every moment he can. But he got up today, still pretty tired, and gave a great effort and did it all over again today.

DauNae, Pam (my sis-in-law and mother-in-law) took the dogs to the beach. I wasn't sure what Gus would do but he had a blast. Kimball went straight to the water, and Gus, being the tag a long puppy that must do what the big kids do, tagged right along with him. He loved it!!!!

And at the water..............

Oh, by the way...did I mention when Gus was sniffing the nice bush in the middle of the beach that said bush was full of burrs!!! Poor guy, his face, under belly and front legs had quite a few stuck in his hair. But we got them out. Whew!!!
