Reminded me of something out of "Swallows and Amazons" by Arthur Ransome, read to us at school as kids in UK aeons ago : ) - anyone else remember that series? -- this was a neat sight at the local beach one evening recently, kids had lashed these logs together with the dogs standing ontop, towing the dinghy behind them. Watched as it drifted from quite far out in the Bay to closer to shore. Dogs fell in several times, hoisted back onto raft by the kids. Have left it as it was, so you can get idea of distance etc In the large version you can see the kids laughing. The dogs were watching our Labs swim for sticks being thrown, and jumped in the water when they got closer : ) Hope you get the essence of the wonderful summer evening : )
