Au Soleil Couchant: ~6k. Zoila and Tupo left on leashes. I let Tupo off on the beach but kept him on in the monte, although he honestly seems like he's ready to try off the leash already... I want to have a few encounters with people and vehicles while he's on the leash first to make sure he doesn't have any issues. His main issue is: LET'S RUN DAD! He and Zoila are perfectly matched because all they want to do is run... Zoila's tail goes up in direct proportion to how fast we're going, which was pretty damned fast today. We ran to Au Soleil Couchant in the monte this time, since I had a feeling Marie and Nicole would still be on the beach. I turned out to be correct, but they were much farther north than I expected, well past Au Soleil Couchant. This worked out fine: I pointed us south and we were quickly out of hailing distance. Tupo is still not too sure about that big swishy water thing but he had plenty to do on the beach with his buddies and Zoila swam enough for both of them. We took the tortuga sign access road home and everyone was great all the way to the gate.

Roni took this crew out for a walk to the north and then across the land bridge via the shore of the charco that abuts it. Coco left off the leash; Roni did some leash-work with her during the course of the walk and she came home on the leash for the last trail home. She was good throughout and enjoyed herself. This was a fun group who like to horse around but listen well. Everyone had a good time and behaved themselves.
