Thanks for the insight on what was an incredible experience for you all.
Welcome to the world of 'Big game fishing tournaments'.
It is these images that give people the perception that game fishing is a 'rich mans' sport, but don't let that fool you. On given days, anybody can get out there in smaller crafts and enjoy the sport....but l must say, nothing beats being out there with all the comforts those big game boats can give.
I'm glad you now have a taste for it and enjoyed the experience.
Thanks again for sharing it all with us.

A pointer:  At the very last part of the vedio, top right hand corner, is the GPS clearly showing us coming out into the open sea doing 28knts.

All the boats seems to be top class. I wonder if they do really use them for fishing or just for competitions.

From 2mins 57 onwards we're heading back returning to the marina in a head sea very close to land (approx 0.5nm) to try and get some shelter. I would say the wind picked up to its strongest in the afternoon just after we tied up, the last part of the video show the extent of it.
