Captain Turbin

We met Turbin in the town square and learned he spent most of his adult life as a merchant marine on cargo ships. He has traveled the world and says he never had a bit of trouble from anyone wherever he was. He spent time in Egypt, Yugoslavia, the USA, the Baltic Sea--and when I asked him where his favorite country was, he naturally said "Home". He had a handsome face, grayish-green eyes, a kind smile. He asked whether we needed any fish, which is what he does now that he doesn't take to the sea any longer and Ed told him about our ENORMOUS Wahoo. That got them talking lures and he offered to sell Ed one that would guarantee lots of catches. He went home to retrieve it and it's similar to the one we bought in Bequia (our magic lure) but it has a double hook and double skirt. We promise to send photos at some point.
