Overview
Whether he's chasing sailfish in Panama, or hunting dove and quail deep in Mexico, Gordon England pursues outdoor sports with a passion for the biggest and best. In this collection he catches giant dolphins in the Exumas, hunts ducks in brutal Texas snow and ice, hooks hopelessly a large blue marlin in Nassau, and gets lost at sea in a monstrous Gulf of Mexico storm. Gordon's adventures often take place on Boat Tales, his twenty-one foot Aquasport, based in Nassau, Bahamas. His love of the ocean is captured in these travels across Florida's Gulf Stream, to Abaco's fabled Hole in the Wall, to remote islands of the Exumas, and from Abaco to Eluthera to Nassau in the dead of the night across miles of coral reefs at low tide. These tales will capture your imagination as they vicariously take you on rugged adventures. Boat Tales is a collection of ten true to life adventures drawn from Gordon England's outdoor lifestyle and nautical journeys. Cold Duck is a tale of duck hunting in a brutal Texas blizzard with a magnificent bird dog. The Other Side - Gordon travels to the other side of the Gulf Stream to catch a monster tuna that turns the tide on him and cripples his boat. The return home is a saga of endurance and stamina through a night of storms that tests the crew's nautical abilities. First Marlin - Off the coast of Nassau, Gordon hooks into a giant marlin that proves too large to land. Mexico - A hunting adventure into the wilds of Mexico in 1970 shows a staggering abundance of game to be had in the good old days. Hole in the Wall - A trip to remote Abaco, Bahamas yields a bountiful catch of tuna, dolphin, and marlin. A seventy-mile run back to port through a maze of coral reefs is a night to remember. Motorcycle Out of Control - Motocross is a crazy sport under the best of conditions. When Gordon's motorcycle brakes fail in a high-speed race through the woods his survival skills are tested to the max. Big Dolphin - The spring dolphin run in the Exumas ranks among the best in the world. Many large dolphin are caught in this story of a red hot bite in tropical waters. Sheer Terror is a terrifying story of a pit bull attack in Nassau. Panama's Tropic Star Lodge - This is the story of Gordon's trip to Panama, where over 250 world records have been set on multitudes of saltwater fish species. The result was a staggering 72 sailfish, roosterfish, and other fish in this lush tropical paradise.
