The Traveler

Dec. 7, 2011: South of Chicago. 0214 hrs. Dark waves of asphalt rose and fell like deep ocean swells, passing easily beneath. The traveler’s eyes stared out blankly over wine-dark waters and a rushing, moonless night.

IOC*: Day I Retire the 7-Weight

Short Tide, Big fish. Barjack the Angler Lost Fish Flat Indian Ocean April 2, 2011 Up at oh-six-hundred, eat chow and grab the bike. I’m getting smarter, though. Since the person that has duty goes to the office at 8am in the truck I ask for a ride and down the road we go. When [...]

Indian Ocean Chronicles: Day Thirtysomething…ish.

It Never Stops Barjack the Angler Short Pier, Long Beach Bay Indian Ocean March 29, 2011 Day thirtysomething, or whatever: I had to submit and walk back along the beach. After walking in the surf for two hours, being pounded like a porn queen by waves—not to mention the confusion of the whitewash and fear [...]
