That's the fetching slogan for Discover Boating, a public awareness effort managed by the National Marine Manufacturers Association, the trade association representing the U.S. recreational boating industry. The campaign promotes the nautical life with a charmingly buoyant video that's been bobbing up all over the internet.
 
In it, assorted salty dogs - including a few mutts and miscellaneous Labs, plus a Dalmatian, a couple of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and a Bulldog - are seen enjoying the sea air from their on-deck vantage points.
 
Many sailors agree that a dog makes a first-rate first mate. If you're not already one of the estimated 70 million Americans who enjoy the boating lifestyle, but you'd like to be, the web site encourages you to "Get started in boating" with its offer of a free DVD.
