Row Row Row

Foo was really impressed with this oarsman. He must have been really really strong to keep rowing his boat through this lake of brick, especially when clearly his boat had sprung a brick leak.

Ship Shape

When Foo got back to the dock, he got to see how they store boats when they're not in the water. Now that's a big crane. Foo really wanted to drive it, but they told him he was a little too small for the job.

Foo of the World

After the stop for some fun and drinks, they were back on the water. Foo jumped right to the bow and felt like King of the World! Then he even saw some dolphins, but they were camera shy.


Sailing With Friends

Foo really enjoyed boating with his friends Victoria and Brian, but right before this photo he got distracted by something on the boat. Was it a rat? Get him!

Boating Fun

Foo was so excited to get back out onto the water on Victoria's Uncle Tom's boat. He just had to help if he wanted to get it out on the water.
Foo's job was to get the ropes ready and secure once they got them off the dock. He was quick about it and super efficient.
Then they were out on the open waters, enjoying to cool breeze and the salty air. He does love a good splash.

Foo Will, Foo Will Dock You

Foo figured that while in South Carolina, he should be like the locals, and that meant getting out on the water for a sailing good time. Luckily, Foo had connections!

Harboring Thoughts

As Foo prepared to get onto the ferry, he took a look over the harbor. He was told that was New Jersey, but it didn't look very new.
But once out on the water, he was so excited with the wind in his teeth and the sun on the sparkling water. Too bad it was a tad chilly.

Ferry Boat Mother

Foo didn't really want to leave New York City, but he did want to get full views of the city and he heard there was also a Statue of Liberty (a bigger one) in the harbor. He was excited to go on the big boat, especially since there would be fairies!

Boats Ahoy!

In Central Park, Foo suddenly found himself at the Boathouse, famous for being in many New York Movies. At first he found a little Foo-size boat that was perfect for his lake visit, but the rowers didn't really want to row that day.
So he settled for gazing out over the still waters, wishing he could find a boat and sail the silky waters.
When at last he did find some boats, they were all turned wrongside up... That was frowny for Foo since he wasn't quite strong enough to turn one rightside up. Ah well... Next time.

Riding Steerage

Foo has always wanted to captain his own boat and finally got the chance! Ay, Cap'n Foo, where ye be headed? Sadly, Foo could only steer in a circle as every time he tried to manage the wheel, he would fall down.

It's a Mystery

When Foo and his friend Rebecca came upon this boat on land, it was a mystery to them how it had gotten there and what it stood for. Apparently the 60-foot boat used to bring millions of pounds of gulf shrimp to land more than 50 years ago. Hopefully those shrimp have been eaten already...

Elissa Here Young Man

Foo was hoping to sail the high seas today, but he couldn't find the captain of this boat, the Elissa Tall Ship, and wasn't sure he could captain it himself. Arrrgghhh!

Little (Big) Wooden Boat

Foo was excited that he got to board this classic wood-paneled speed boat at the classic car museum. He just knows it is going to be a chick magnet... too bad there's no water.

Lovin' the Lake

Foo and friends posed for a group picture during their fun time on the lake, but it seemed to go horribly wrong for some of them. Mike started licking Jonathan's head, which he apparently liked. Winchester wouldn't even look at the camera, which prompted Beans to try to eat Winchester for lunch,  which made Victoria mad.

What Up, Dawgs?

Foo loved being out on the lake, especially as he was getting some sun and chilling with his good friends Mike and Winchester. It soon got a little too hot and everybody headed in for a swim.

Liquid Free

It's always advisable to make sure you're liquid free before going on a long trip, and boy did this boat take one hell of a piss.... for 5 minutes...

Fish Tales

After Foo expertly got the boat working, they set off into the lake with poles and tackle and all sorts of refreshments for their voyage into the fish-filled seas... well, the lake at least.
Foo didn't realize how long he'd have to sit there, just waiting for the fishies to bite, but bite they did!
And here is what Foo caught! He was so proud of his fishy acquisition that he just had to get a picture with it, but when he was told exactly what would happen to the fish if they kept it, Foo decided this one needed to go back, and it's currently swimming happily back in the lake.

Propelling Problems

Foo and friends wanted to go fishing early in the morning, but when they started to boat, they discovered it didn't work. Luckily for everyone around, Foo is a whiz at mechanical things and was able to figure out the problem and fix it quickly so they could get out on the water and drag in them fishies!

Play Til You Drop

Foo loves spending time with friends and family at the lake, especially when they're as fun as Vanessa and Hannah the dolphin.
They laughed, they talked, they played, and they wanted to go play in the water, but Vanessa didn't quite make it there before she passed out in the boat after such a fun afternoon!

Ahoy Mateys!

So happy to be out on the boat, Winchester and Foo looked out onto the big watery expanse in anticipation of a fun day in the sun. These two pirate puppy pals love the wind in their fur and the spray on their faces!
