			"Arcas" and "Fish" have been beating the heat by land training at first light here in SC.  And then once a week or so they do some water training in the lake.  Last week they made a road trip to Cape Cod, MA for a family wedding.  We were able to scoot out onto an estuary/marsh for some fun water retrieves and exercise (photo below) on the incoming tide.  They love the salt water.
