A normal Tuesday for Marley
Given a dog with land-dog habits, when an ordinary day happens aboard — meals, walks, naps, weather, then Marley’s routine works without heroics, in January as in July.
To answer
- Shore access: gangway/pontoon safety, non-slip, boarding at night and in rain.
- Where does Marley toilet — walk frequency vs marina layout, and the anchored-out answer (dinghy drill).
- Falling in: recovery plan, dog ladder or ramp, life jacket.
- Heat: deck temperature in summer, shade, ventilation.
- Vet, kennel and emergency logistics from a marina address.
- POC criterion: several consecutive nights aboard with Marley, observed and logged.
