Joshua called me yesterday and invited me for a trip out on their boat! I changed all my plans and said “of course!” So I woke up at 2:30am and was ready to go!
I love watching the kids grow into responsible and dependable fishermen. They have amazing teamwork skills. 
Today, I told myself “just sit back and enjoy the ride.” The boys did everything! 
The morning started off with an amazing sunrise. First the birds showed up on the 3 hour ride out. Then we saw dolphins, then whales, then pilot whales. Then when we arrived at our dive spot, a huge 10-12′ tiger shark swam right up to the boat to say hello. And it was still 8am! 
The sky was blue, and the clouds frosty white. 
The boys did great! I was really impressed with their knowledge, skills, and most important, how calm they were. 
Thank you boys for the amazing full day of boating. 
It was a pleasure watching you fine young fishermen shine. Uncle is tired, sunburnt, and content. Goodnight…
