A beautiful tale, lovingly told; Pirate! why not?; like the sagas of Olde. Up for anything, except being left behind. The chasing boats around the lake tale reminds me of the time Gloria Little Bull swam maybe a half-mile across a mountain lake below Lizard Head Peak in the San Juans with me (bumping my feet with her head every couple of strokes as she paddled); we explored the far bank, and when she saw I was swimming back across she padded here way around the perimeter, meeting me at the launch point. Buddy Redbird, a bodacious big-hearted puppy St. Bernard mix, who wasn't yet a swimmer when I dove into a cattle pond to cool off after the scree field ascent below Storm King Peak, when I swam across he did a full header and flip on the bank in his haste to greet me at the far side; all of a 30 foot traverse.
