Time for some more photos from the recent trip from Portugal to the Canaries.
 
30/8/11. Here’s the proof that fish were caught, well one anyway. I though it was a decent sized tuna, but apparently its a tiddler.

1/9/11. Bob was a little sceptical of our tales of the Green Flash at sunset. On 30th August we had almost perfect conditions, although still a little too far North. The Green Flash happens just as the last of the sun disappears under the horizon, its something to do with the refraction of sunlight through the atmosphere. Some say it is a myth, and its certainly more common after rum sundowners, but I have seen it myself, and saw a small one that night. But its impossible to capture on camera. Either way, a nice sunset is a never ending source of pleasure. We were about 100 miles off the coast of Morocco at the time.

And the moon was out too.
