Lone Star - Day 2 -" Fish on" and Midwest Chops
I experienced my first night watch in the Atlantic under the tutelage of Lone Star's Capt. Craig Scott, who set the bar high with a perfect Russell Crow Masters and Commanders " lean and look " while hanging off rope.
Lone Star crossed the Gulf Stream early today, adding another personal first to my list along with my new found friend/fishing buddy/ crew mate Joe Matthews. Thinking the fish might like the warmer waters we let out a couple lines, one in traditional Rod n Reel fashion, the other in cagey ole Salty Dog Ron Horton's traditional fashion, i.e. hand line. Results included one spit the bit Dorado near the boat and a nice " puppy tuna ".
The evening meal was another highlight as Ron prepared Pork Chops extraordinary that would make Mike Ditka blush :)
All in all an amazing day at sea.
