Skipper Dog From Sea

Adventures of the dog Skipper and kids of the Applebys' family.

What is a Sea Dog? Why it's any dog who loves the water, Or lives along the shore. Whose tail wags and ears jump When stormy winds roar. Join little Skipper, a curious puppy in an orange life preserver, as she meets a galaxy of sea dogs from past and present. What Is a Sea Dog? combines poetry, history, and fun in a celebration of the many dogs who love the water. Inspired by the exhibit Sea Dogs! Great Tails of the Sea at Mystic Seaport, What Is a Sea Dog? was written and illustrated by two seafaring storytellers, historian John Jensen and artist/writer Richard J. King. Both have known many real sea dogs.

The Covid-9 pandemic of 2020 has affected everyone. UK small boat owners, sea anglers and professional charter boat skippers suddenly found in March of 2020 that they weren't allowed to go out to sea on their boats and participate in their passion for sea angling. To help brighten what was an unprecedented situation, a Facebook page was set up by Dorset Charter Skipper Jamie Pullin in response to the inspirational stories and ideas coming from two of the south coast's 'legendary' skippers, Geordie Dickson of the Plymouth based Artilleryman vessels and Roger Bayzand of Sundance fame. Roger has retired to Australia but maintains strong links with his UK based charter skipper colleagues and many past customers and friends. It was Roger's idea to encourage seafarers to submit stories of sea-going adventures and experiences to the new Facebook site which was called 'Sea-dog Tall Tales'. Within just two weeks, membership had rocketed to over 1000 boat owners and anglers with a whole range of wonderful stories and memories flooding in for others to read and enjoy. This is a selection of some of those stories with the various contributors kindly allowing them to be published in the hope that they will offer an uplifting respite in what looks like to be a difficult Autumn and Winter coming. Like the previous book to emerge from the Facebook page, 'From Army Brat to Seadog', any profits from book sales will be donated to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Here then is a collection of tales from people who share a deep camaraderie and fascination of the most powerful force of Nature that unites us...The Sea.

Young newlyweds Peter and Dorothy Muilenburg found their way from New Hampshire to the Virgin Islands. He had been a civil rights Freedom Fighter, jailed in Mississippi while protesting racial injustice. In St. John, she founded the Pine Peace School. They both taught. On an East End beach, he built a sailboat strong enough to take them anywhere, and they put to sea with their two young sons. But their crew was not yet complete. Santos, a schipperke, came to them as a tiny puppy and sailed with them all his life—75,000 deep-sea miles—four times across the Atlantic, crisscrossing the Caribbean, coasting the U.S. eastern seaboard, exploring the Med, ranging up African rivers. A lightning rod for trouble, he survived a kidnapping, hurricanes, raging surf, being lost overboard at sea, and was twice given up for dead. And he watched over his family with fierce and abiding devotion. If you want to see the world—really see it—go by sailboat. And if you want to absorb the world through every pore, take a venturesome dog as your guide. The bright spirit named Santos became a legend to millions of readers through the pages of SAIL and Reader's Digest magazines. Now Peter Muilenburg—a wise and observant chronicler with a true wanderer's desire to engage the world on authentic terms—has written this captivating story of familial love and adventure, unforgettable people and places, and an amazing schipperke who has sailed right into the sea dog hall of fame.

With its spectacular beaches and charming towns, Cape Cod is known around the world as a vacation spot and a summer retreat for the well-to-do. But there is another Cape Cod, a hidden, hardscrabble, year-round world whose hunter-gatherer economy dates back to the Bay Colony. The world of the independent fisherman is one of constant peril, of arcane folkways and expert knowledge, of calculated risk and self-reliance -- and of freedom won daily through backbreaking, solitary work. It is a way of life deep in the American grain. Haunted by the numbers of family fishermen who have recently been forced to abandon the profession, Richard Adams Carey spent a year among a handful of men who stubbornly refuse to do so. Reminiscent of the work of William Warner and Joseph Mitchell, AGAINST THE TIDE is a masterly profile of four New England fishermen in which every page opens onto something more profound: maritime history, maritime ecology, and the poetic celebration of a special American place.

Mrefu is a story of growing up--in England during wartime and in Kenya during the Mau Mau uprising, which forever shatters the privileged lifestyle of the European settlers. A serious illness dashes some of his dreams but Sheridan learns self-reliance when, as a young boy, he travels alone on a troop-ship. Later he finds excitement chasing wild game on horseback in Kenya. After he decides that there is no future for him in Africa, Sheridan immigrates to Canada. He crews on a 77’ schooner across the Atlantic that narrowly escapes shipwreck off Antigua. This is a tale of loss and triumph, loneliness and love, shyness and confidence, which is told with refreshing candour and self-depreciating humour.
