Officer, It wasn't intentional! Honest.

Yet again in the middle of a storm down here, raining and blowing a gale. Great stuff for the last week of kids holidays!

Finally got some photos through from the Law of his Mentawai trip. It looks like he scored some sick ones.

The baldness dropping into a solid one at HT's on his 6'2"

Hey Spook. I thiunk I'd rather have 'Mentawai surf guide' as my ocupation than just about anything else.
The lefts were at a place called No Can Doos. is that near you Spook?

There's no end in sight to this flat spell here. At least I'm getting some work done.

How have the waves been spook?

ps. Put that occupation on your Immigration form in Oz and you'll be inviting them to slap on the rubber gloves! (I'm serious)

Nokandui is near us (about 20min by speedboat). it gets faster and thicker as it goes down the line. All the lefts here don't have much margin for error and not much of an escape route - you just gotta make em!
