TomBettle Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys I've used my Facebook photo album to store these pics as my PBSBAC one is rather full, but anyone who is interested in the delivery of Atlantic Explorer to Madeira can view the pics here http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?a...55454701&ref=mf The pics don't really do things justice as many were taken at dawn or dusk and you really can't see the sort of seas we were contending with either. For the record: Santander Marina was pleasant with great staff. La Coruna was a lovely marina with super staff Figueira was a dump, but the staff were nice. Cascais was a concrete jungle, but excellent and the staff were great. Made all the better by the complimentary bottle of wine! Funchal was chaotic, but the staff were nice enough. Check out / book the boat at: Madeira Sport Fishing Edited July 27, 2010 by TomBettle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Just been through them all, what a brilliant trip Tom, I'd love to go on an adventure like that one day. She looks a beauty of a boat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looks a beauty of a boat... There is talk (drunken talk from the hotel bar) that we may be needing to bring the world famous big game boat "The Hooker" up from Ghana to Madeira at some point. That will be an interesting one and may involve some dodgy African coast hops or straight out to Cape Verde 300 miles then Canaries 850 miles before Madeira about another 300 miles. The owners (a bunch of American guys) are running someone elses boat in Madeira right now, but fancy having their own boat there. Not completely sure, but think she is a Bertram, but I know she holds the record for the most Blue Marlin caught on bait in one day... 20 from the same Channel in the Cape Verdes that I got my record for the most on lures (15).

My PBSBAC gallery is pretty full. I used to save everything there as it was easy to access in the future. Now it struggles to upload anything and takes an awful long time so I am having to store pictures elsewhere. ...promise they weren't enormously exciting anyway!
