Time Flies
Captain Jeffrey Heyer opened Cross Rip Outfitters with his wife, Captain Lynne, in 1996. Originally from New Jersey, Heyer made his first step toward the island during the 1992 Nantucket Anglers Club Billfish Tournament, when he proposed to Lynne in the cockpit, “I think that was probably my best day of fishing on the island,” he says. As for the fish? “Mid September provides the largest variety of species,” he suggests. “With striped bass, bluefish, false albacore, bonito, and possibly bluefin tuna or Spanish mackerel mixed in.” He moved to Nantucket in 1994, and now, in addition to running the shop with Captain Lynne, they also run Cross Rip fishing charters, where they take anglers fishing aboard their 22-foot Pathfinder, or guide them to the beaches for morning and evening surfcasting.

Heyer wears the TAG Heuer Link Calibre S Chronograph ($3,300), which features a 42 mm satin-finished steel case with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal—and a double-sided, anti-reflective coating—which is water-resistant to 200 meters.
