		Police were searching a barren island off the coast of Cape Cod yesterday for two missing college students who disappeared near Harwichport in thick fog Sunday afternoon shortly after taking two plastic kayaks out for a short paddle.
		The island, about a half-mile wide and 6 miles long, is a deserted bird sanctuary about 10 miles away from where they departed.

		Luckily, a total solar eclipse was coming near MIT and part of knowing about the world is seeing the world so I decided to go to Monomoy Island, just off the elbow of Cape Cod to see the eclipse.
		However I knew that it was illegal to camp on Monomoy Island.
		So my back-up plan was to build a fire on the island, and when the Coast Guard came to tell us to get off the island we'd say, "make us!" At least that way we'd be in a mainland jail.

		Monomoy disciple Steve Robbins has been fishing the flats from his flats boat for years, in fact he is one of the first I know in the area to extensively apply the crab fly techniques of our flyfishing brethren near the equator to trick these big picky stripers in skinny water.
