A strange tale of seagoing dogs!

There I was, sat safely sitting at a harbour side restaurant of Tuesday choice, enjoying another gastronomic delight offered by El Cotillo when my lunch partner diverted this photographers attention with a now customary opening gambit,
“Got your camera Innes?

Does a bear defecate in the woods? (or something like that) were my private thoughts, accompanied with an exhalation of breath sufficiently audible that even he would /should have received the not so subtle message

But the crowd cried foul! Bad form from the Scot…my well-meaning buddy was drawing attention to an image, literally stretched out in front of us, which beggared belief!

A gent floating on his back in the old harbour, with his well-trained and totally chilled out pooch similarly floating, paws pointing skyward, snout in the air.



I fully expected an entertainment surcharge added onto my lunch bill!
 


A few days later on the surf beach I had to look twice when a gent, albeit not the most accomplished windsurfer I had ever seen, had his mongrel dog climb onto the surfboard. In fact, the animal showed such determination it was almost as if it wanted to teach its master how surfing should be done!!!



Enjoy the sunshine, and lets talk again soon!
