If he's not selling the boat, he will need to buy you out since you are part owner. He should have advised you of his change in plans. But, do not raise the issue and see if he tells you. You'll know if he's acting guilty when you are him.
Instead of asking him about packing a lunch...why don't you just go ahead and pack some finger foods. I'm sure the time will get away from you while you are out fishing and I don't know about you, but when I'm out on a boat, I get hungry after a while.
Leave the expectations at the door...zero expectations! You are trying to anticipate what is going through his head and you can't do it! He doesn't know what he's going to do from one minute to the next, so can you figure him out...you can't.
GWN, I, personally, wouldn't be sharing my news w/his daughter. It's really none of her business what you do or don't do w/her father at this point in time. If you feel the need to say anything, just tell her that you spoke to him a while ago...that's honest. At this time, you aren't sure if he's going to cancel the fishing trip or not, so I would table that for later. Call me paranoid, but whenever someone asks about whether you've spoken to a particular person, it makes me wonder if she/he is inquiring so that they can run back and tell them what you've said. Be careful! Blood is thicker than water, even if you are friendly terms w/her.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
