After thinking it through I did send largely what I had written previously, but toned it down you might say. To only wish him luck this weekend would have been a bit odd because it's not an organized competition...just a friendly one between him and whoever is on the boat with him. In past years it was my friends and family.
Best part is he responded immediately and favourably on all fronts.
He wants to "shoot for July 1". I agreed to that date, but am leaving the rest to him...what time, where, etc.
I'm leaving it to him to contact me closer to next weekend.
He also asked how I've been and how my visit with my parents was. I said it's been good and that i'm really enjoying time with my mother but that my father went home early. If he asks about that I'll just say they'd been away for almost three months and he was ready to go home but Mom wanted to stay. No need for ugly details. The pike is mine if he gets one this weekend.
BOAT RULES: no talk about us no questions about him fish my butt off have fun and relax use words of affirmation follow his lead
