We have a dinghy with the boat. It\u2019s small, near the water and I for one have no intention of setting paw in it. It has a sail, at the request of my Master and oars, at the request of my Mistress. I liked my Mistress\u2019s way of thinking when she said that there was no way she was going in anything that had the risk of capsizing. My Master said there was almost no risk. If only he hadn\u2019t used the word \u2018almost\u2019 in that sentence it would have been all right. As it is I am not going anywhere near it. Secretly my Mistress is rather pleased as it gives her an excuse to say \u2018I can\u2019t leave Alfie on his own.\u2019 Quite right too with this amount of water about, Alfie doesn\u2019t want to be left on his own!<\/p>\n
We are in the middle of nowhere and in the next few days we need to know exactly which bit of nowhere we are in, as some friends are meeting up with us. If the battery hadn\u2019t died and in fact the whole thing stopped working, we could use my GPS to get an exact location. Mind you for that we\u2019d need an internet connection as well so I suppose we are stumped on that front. Perhaps if we could just get it working again we could tell our friends to go onto the internet and they could track our location according to where I am positioned. It sounds quite exciting until you realise that my privacy has been completely invaded by having to wear this thing round my neck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
