Been dreaming alot of late...ed

To the canyon we are running, Rene’ on the forward deck sunning, To catch a sail or swordfish, We will have to use all our cunning… Outside nautically over two hundred miles, No shore to see at that distance, we all have smiles, Baiting the hook with sport fish prey, To catch just one is all we pray… The fight takes at minimum four hours, To land this beastie, the boat operated from the tower, Closer to the stern this fish does approach, Gaff & boat hooks at the ready to this fish broach, After all that, a twenty-foot tiger does on our line and fish encroach… © ed ~ 7/25/07

My kind of dream, it is all making so much sense then all of a sudden in pops something totally out of the character of all the rest; but while living in the dream, it seems to make perfect sense. Hang on to those dreams, Ed, perhaps they are training wheels for the real deal.
Take care,
Sherry

I'm a salt water and freah water fishing fool. I don't know what I enjoy more, the ride out to Gray's Reef or catching a nice black tip. It's the thrill of it all!
Love,
