he was living deep in the mangrove swamps of Costa Rica, talking to the McCaws and At Play in the Fields of the Gods. He has been working with the locals on Shade Grown Coffee and banding Neo-Tropical birds that use them; all the while fighting the good fight against "high altitude con-trails" and selling a little "shade grown weed" to pay for gas in the panga and the next generation of Nautilus reels. The Snook are popping up under the mangroves and the coffee is rich and strong. Come summer he'll be back on the beach, chasing down Rooster Fish and in the evenings sitting in the local cantina telling stories to the locals in exchange for beer. He has said that anyone who wants to come visit is more than welcome.
But remember:
"GAS, 3 PLY TOILET PAPER, or new TEVA's-no body fishes for free"
