We were so excited to be able to buy a fishing boat! My mom and dad kept telling Cody, "Just use our support money and get a fishing boat" after they had found out he was fishing from a stand-up paddle board in the middle of the ocean. We are not only excited for Cody to have a boat to fish from (avoiding sharks- if you know Cody at all), but that he can also take guys on spearfishing trips, which you usually need a boat to get to those locations. We are also excited that by having a boat, it will provide jobs for several of the local fishermen that cannot afford to buy boats. Another use the boat will be for some fun recreation. When we were in California, we bought an innertube to pull behind the boat; we're stoked to take kids on their first innertube rides ever! We'll also do some wakesurfing behind the boat for fun and exercise. We did try to save some money by getting a fixer-upper. Wow, we didn't fully know what we were getting ourselves into. Cody has already put so much time and hard labor into it and there is still so much to do. He is re-fiberglassing a lot of it and trying to make it sea worthy since fishing season is now beginning. Pray for him as he works so hard on it.
Once we get it all painted, we are going to put the last names and organizations of those that sponsor us monthly (our team). We are all a partner in this together!
