January 20, 2008 - Over the past holidays Whitt and Terri Sessoms ventured to San Juan del Sur for their first time. They came with their four kids Neysi, Jennings, Jeackson, and Jack. Neysi and Jeackson live at an orhanage just outside of Managua. Here are a few words from Mr. Sessoms about the orphanage with contact information if you would like to help, along with a couple pics of the orphanage.

“Neysi and Jeackson currently live at Casa Bernabe, an orphanage located outside Managua in Vera Cruz Nicaragua. Neysi will be starting UNI University this March and is moving into an apartment a couple blocks away from the campus. Terri and I are sponsoring him. Casa Bernabe houses, clothes, feeds, and educates approximately 80 kids up to 17 years of age. After 17 years of age, the young men and women need to either go on to a university, vocational school, or find a job.

ORPHANetwork (www.orphanetwork.net 757-333-7200) is a nonprofit organization based in Virginia Beach, Virginia that works with three orphanages in Nicaragua including Casa Bernabe. ORPHANetwork supports these orphanages in several ways from financial support to connecting individuals, churches, and organizations to individual orphans while they are at the orphanage and on to college and the workplace.”

The Sessoms fished and surfed during their visit. The swell was pretty small which made it a little tough to find good breaks, but Jennings and Jack still managed to ride some nice ones. Jennings is picture below riding wave up at Colorado. These two jacks were the first fish ever caught by Neysi and Jeackson. It’s always fun to watch kids catch their first fish.

There had been tons of jack crevalle around the holidays. Mr. Yoder and friends managed to catch a couple sierra mackerel to take back to the kitchen.

For about a week and a half we had a nice run of yellowfin tuna, which is very unusual for this time of year. Most likely because of the calm winds we experienced. Unfortunately I have no pics of these bigger than average yellowfin tuna. There have also been lots of dolphins, humpback whales, and giant manta rays. Frank fought a manta, which we snagged for at least a half hour before we finally saw what it was.
