Portuguese bend is where they're filming the battle and sailing scenes. It's the best place to see the Pearl "in action". :)

I blame subsidance - though I think the cocktail notion was a great idea.

Just got back. No Black Pearl.:( :(

We sat there for an hour and drove up and down the coast. Didn't go all the way to Redondo, so they may have been there.

Oh well.

You should have gone up towards the marina in Redondo - I saw her out at sea around 7:00, with a helicopter getting some aerial shots. And, they also fired a cannon - there was a flash of flame and some smoke. :D

Shoot! I knew it! We went about half way from Portuguese Bend to Redondo, and then turned around thinking we may have missed her. We stopped at some of the viewing areas (mainly the Portugueses Bend marker) and looked out. It was pretty foggy and hard to see much. After having been driving and looking around for 2 hours we were tired and drove the hour home.

I'm bummed, but at least I saw Johnny, Kiera, and Orlando at DL and had them all three sign a group photo. So I'm still lucky......

I most totally agree.:snap: The Nighy is da bomb. He's my new favorite actor who isn't that new, actually.
