We have a boat!

Kolt's dreams have come true...... he has his very own boat!  Even though the two main people he goes hunting with each have boats, Kolt needed his own.  We bought this 1996 Bayliner Trophy from another Coast Guard family who is transferring out next summer.  The boat's previous owner bought it from another Coastie so it is "staying in the family."  Kolt has been out on the boat but I have not so we are planning the maiden voyage this weekend, weather permitting of course.  I am very excited to actually get off the island, even if it is just to be in the ocean.  We will take Gunner with us & see how he does as well.  This boat met all of Kolt's requirements as well as my only request...... that the boat have a cabin so that I can escape from cold weather.  We probably won't be taking it out much the next few months with winter approaching so Kolt is planning on "improving" a few things & then he will probably be living on it come spring.
