When we passed through the fuel dock was operational 24 hours as long as you go to the filling station and prepay, we had to wait some after an overnight trip to get alongside because some one was following your advice.

If you go to You tube and search for surfing Nazarre, you'll see why it is most definitely not an all weather refuge .... Acknowledged as the largest wave ever surfed.

there is a deep water canyon and a very steep bottom a few cables from the shore, imagine what it must be with a big swell

Eccentric is the word lol His boat came adrift during the recent storm, all except for one spring and it took me the best part of an hour in full fowelies, LJ and safety harness, to secure her. Wonder if we will get a discount lol
Can see no problem with the fishing quay as long as you have long fender boards.

Even in a small swell its a sight you have to see to fully understand the power of the sea.
In a storm, as last week, the power out there is hard to believe

Another surfing record attempt yesterday at Nazare but the wave only 27.5 metres.

Not the word I would use. If he'd said one more word I would have decked him for sure. He's like Jekyl and Hyde, can change moods very quickly.

Amazing picture of the biggest wave ever surfed at Nazare in today's Telegraph!
The Portuguese coast has to be treated with respect!

I agree with you totally but anyone sailing down that coast shouldn't be put off. We did it this year and going into Nazare the sea was pretty flat. The only problem we had (besides Mike) was the amount of fishing pots badly marked next to the entrance.

Come on he's an old man stuck in his ways. You just have to know how to handle such folk

That one was just a tiddler compared to those just after the hurricane last week

He's also had at least one stroke which altered his behaviour.

....so that makes it ok to be rude or is it somehow excuseable ?

Not per se. But if, god forbid, a piece of your brain were to be destroyed, can you tell us now how it might affect your behaviour? I have the advantage that I know something of Mike's former demeanour.

Mike is insufferable. He is extreamly rude. Like the previous op, I also felt like decking him> Good manners maketh the man!
