Exploring Nantucket, Nantucket Events

Stocking and then Stalking Trout

My wife and I were able to sneak away for a short trip to Florida last week and boy oh boy did we need it! Life can be a lot at times, and a vacation, even a short vacation, is really important to allow you to reset and get prepared for the next chapter. Yet even as we were lounging in the Sunshine State, I felt a lingering feeling that I was missing something important back on Nantucket. A quick perusal through Instagram and Facebook revealed that my premonition was correct. There was some big stuff going on in the world of Nantucket fishing and yes, indeed, I was missing out.

The “Cheese Touch”

One of my favorite books to read with my daughters way back in once upon a time land was Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Greg Heffley. The Wimpy Kid books are laugh-out-loud funny and completely relatable. The first book in the series introduced me to the dreaded “Cheese Touch,” a curse of sorts that is to be avoided at all costs. I fully understood that the cheese touch exists in reality. Sometimes the dice go cold. Sometimes they simply freeze up, even in a hot August on our beautiful island of Nantucket.
