Here, fishy fishy fishyyy!

The retirement boat gets a name with a story.

Remember last week when I told the story of Mike’s new boat needing a name? Well, he chose one, and it’s perfect—though a bit of a mouthful! 😁

Ahoy there, Fishy Fishy Fishyyyy!

From Mike’s FB post, where he shared the new name:

“Toby wanted me to "name" the boat, so I gave in and used my Dad's fish call. Love you, Dad, thanks for teaching me to fish!”

Everett would “call the fish” when he was out on the water, and this is a great way for us to remember him. My father-in-law was an outdoorsman and fisher who passed on his love of nature to his family, one of whom I was lucky enough to marry. I helped write his obituary, here: Everett Allen Neal obituary if you’re interested to find out more about him.

This newsletter, PASSAGES, is not just a travel blog…it’s about LIFE and how we move through its stages and journeys.

Apparently, Sesame Street “stole” Everett’s fish call. You can enjoy a chuckle here!

This is a bit of a lighthearted post, but that’s because I’m working on a doozy for next wee…
