BA directly here. Always impressing. Have a nice trip and save landing on Hulhule Island (Male).

Nice one. Have fun.

[PSB]

Very cool, G. Is this a catch and release situation or do you eat those magnificent bastards?

[Hereforthebeer]

Hopefully you can pop your GT cherry! Can't wait to see how this develops… Did you book yourself an appointment with a chiropractor when you get home?

I'm not an angler, but it sounds like a lot of fun, and the location is stunning! Have a great time G&P [emoji3]

Catch and release…..

[Giles]

I'm here with Ben and 2 Danes.  We are all GT virgins…..

[Seul]

Danes ey… Nick their beer if they brought any...

[Giles]

Crisis averted…....Ben and I were half expecting to share a room........But not a bed....Double has been swapped out for 2 singles.....

[Chris]

No crisis; what happens in the Maldives, stays in the Maldives.

[Seul]

What happens between two consenting Males is no one else's business…

[Giles]

Not a Giant Trevally, but a small Blue Trevally….......

[Giles]

So Michael, one of the Danes we are fishing with, did get a decent GT…..

[sabergirl]

Beautiful fish, both! That blue is really striking.

Nice catch, but did you really have to slather the fish with indigo dye before throwing it back?

@neph93:

Also, @Madame Buttonfly this must be one of the most relaxing places on earth. My experience of a mid-market island resort was that the quality of food and drink was excellent, and the service was almost embarrassingly good. Enjoy yourself

Thanks @neph93 it really is ideal for us - once emails/forum etc. are checked we will spend most of our days in or under the water!  As you say, although one of the most reasonably priced resorts in the Maldives, the food is excellent, the staff mega-friendly, service embarrassingly good (without being obsequious) and the facilities superb - big dive centre, several restaurants and bars including a big main bar with a themed event most nights (sadly, Giles and I have never made it there in the evening!)  And no dress code (when out of the water, Giles will wear IH shorts, IH t-shirt and bare feet the entire stay).  So to say I'm looking forward to joining him next week is a massive understatement!
