Boat ride with dogs around Neebish Island in St. Mary’s River Upper Michigan

Last night we took a two hour boat ride with our blue weimaraner, Sampson, and our Vizsla, Asta ~ Asta la Vizsla around Neebish Island.  We passed through Neebish Island and Sugar Island and had Canada about 1/4 mile away.  Only saw a few boats in our trip.  I was surprised not to see anyone patrolling the border from the water.  This was their second boat ride in our jet boat and they love the smells from the bow.

We do have life preservers that we usually have on the dogs at all times but we used their leashes and held on to them so they wouldn’t try to launch at all of the birds flying from the buoys.  We did see a beautiful Osprey and a ton of turns, gulls, ducks, and geese.  Good times…

Here are a few images of the dogs having a good time.  Asta was more of a bow rider and Sampson slept for half of the trip.
