This week I get to sit down with the people who are building my boat and work out all the final design issues. The reason I’m getting to do this is pretty simple. The manufacture needed my boat to build a mold from and in return for giving up my boat for six weeks they offered to build a boat to my specifications, no cost to me. No brainer! So Saturday I get to pick colors, deck lay out and dimensions plus all the other bells and whistles I might want. Not bad for a part time guide.

As cool as this is it pales in comparisons to the last weekend. Sunday was Fathers Day. Both of my kids are away at school this summer but they both found the time to call and say they were thinking of their dad. Beats a boat all to pieces. There’s nothing that means more to a parent then kids who have grown up to be really good people and I’m blessed with two of them.

I get to enjoy a great family, preach for a living, and get paid to fish. Life’s good.
