The pirates that caught the sharks

As if the waters around Cuba were not troublesome enough, in sails a boat manned by a few hardened leading lights from the UK access industry, with the odd crane man thrown in.

The crew spent a week on board the Halcon chasing fish around the Jardines de la Reina (Gardens of the Queen) islands some 48 miles to the south of Cuba. The islands were named allegedly by Christopher Columbus, being his first land fall on reaching the Americas.

In Hemmingways footsteps can you pick out and name the four crane and access personalities?

According to one of them, “We lived, slept and ate on the Halcon for a week, fishing from skiffs, leaving each morning for the fishing hot spots and the fishing was as hot as the weather”.

Sound like one of those big fish stories?
