i can just imagine everyone sitting around the campfire in the boat.

after a few beers a bit of **** talk being thrown around- old stories etc, then simondo would start quoting statistics , facts and figures lol

Waves have ranged from waste to head high. Occasional just overhead sets. The longer points have been mainly shoulder height through the sets... Very fun though. Warm water, idellic, etc!

Also, low crowds. We have sacrificed about 1-2 foot on face height for low crowds. We have escaped down the far South of the central atols.

We have had a great day today. Jail Breaks dawn session. Lunch session at Ninja's, and late arvo / sunset session at Coke's.

Dawn session at Coke's tomorrow.

Great boat, great waves, great stories!
It's been a fantastic trip. Something to tell the Grandkids about. A surf trip with one of the fathers of modern surfing.

They must have confiscated his camera, those Maldivians (or whatever they call themselves) are a tough bunch.

So many waves!!
Favourites were Sultans, Cokes, Jails, and Candooma.

I'll be at home on the big computer late this arvo. Should get some good pics uploaded by say 4pm.

My boards are lost though!! Probably left behind in either Male/Maldives or Singapore.
