Sunday30th January 2005. Day 2 

"Justin if you want food I'd get up" said Miguel I roll over and didn't want to say anything. 5 minutes later " Justin the waves are good you might want to eat" said Tyler. I jumped up hit my head on the roof and was on it. They all looked at me, now they know how to get me up no matter what. Say the waves can be actually ridden and I'm on it. I was amped to get in the water; I had 2 boards waxed, fins in, leashed up and had some food, coffee and water. But I didn't really feel the night before I was too amped, but Dana on the other hand was hurting thanks to me. I had him drinking all night with me. He was letting it all out in the water hitting the reef and all. I was having so much fun on the rights. I was getting little tubes, carves and all kinds of things, trying superman's but the offshore wind made them hard. We surfer for about 3 and half hours, came in had lunch. I took a little 4-hour nap, and missed the anchor fight they couldn't get it up and the entire time I was asleep. I got up and saw everyone was all greased up. My back was so sun burnt it was burning all day. After dark the other surfers showed up Nicolas and Jose from Portugal, Jack Perry from Aus, Richie from NZ. They are all a bunch of cool guys. We had some dinner talked a little and went to sleep.

Monday 1st February 2005. Day 3

It was a mellow day today and the waves were flat, so we went to a little Island with Jeff. The little island was cool; it had all kinds of shells and good things.  While walking around became friends with a lizard that was super rad. The lizard would just sit on my hand; he kicked it like that the entire time on the island. When we decided to go back the lizard didn't want to get off me.  When I would put him on the sand he would jump back on me, he even ran under my watch. Once we got back on the boat we thought we would play some cards. Trying to play cards when everyone had a

different rule is hard, but fun. The little pirate (Nick) was so funny cause he had no clue how to play. Kiwi (Richie) was just lost in space, Jack got mad when he thought he won and said I was cheating when he was looking at my cards the entire game. Frank the captain and I were the only true people in the game.

Tuesday 2nd February 2005. Day 4

Day 4 was a day for just sitting around doing nothing. I slept most of the day because the waves were shit and I already watched to many movies. We all just talked all day and did nothing. Dana had to go back to work so he took off. I was bummed when Dana had to go he is cool and if it weren't for him I'd never be on the boat. After he left we ate dinner talked for little and went to sleep.

Wednesday 3rd February 2005. Day 5

Today was really the Crossing. We had to cross over to another island and it was solid. We were hitting 7-10 foot swells and the boat was just being bounced it was rough. I decided to sleep cause it was a 10 hour trip and I knew I'd get sick. It was hard to sleep when the stuff in your room would go flying all over. When we got there it was solid but windy so we surfed a little beach break for a little, just to get wet. Oh yeah Jack got seasick and let it go on the way over to the Island. After our surf we ate dinner and went to sleep.

Thursday 4th February 2005. Day 6

We started off the morning surfing at some reef that was solid, but real shitty and none of us could get any waves. We all decided to go to the beach break and get a few, it was fun. After we surfed we had to walk back to the boat. It took about an hour to walk back and we saw and went through a lot of shit. We saw donkeys and a horse and had to paddle through this stinky lagoon. But it was well worth it because we made it and it made the crossing more than sitting on the boat with no waves and that's why were here to live each day as an adventure and have fun. We made it back to the boat had lunch and then to a new little island. The island had some big rays that let us touch them. After we hung with the rays we went to the other side of the island. We saw some waves breaking out on this reef, so we paddled out. When we got out there it was real fun a good little right. We surfed for a little while until the tinny started acting up, so we went back and had dinner. After dinner I had to slip down the stairs to give the boys one last laugh before bed.

Friday 5th February 2005. Day 7

It was another day with no surfing. That tells, as we will be watching lots of movies. After lunch we went to swim and take photos with the rays on our little island.  It was rad; we saw a cool shark just wandering around the reefs.  When we came back to the boat we all got ready to go watch the Super Bowl at this local bar.  Just as I though my New England Patriots won. It was a good game very close.  Kiwi (Richie) and the little pirate (Nick)were trying to get onto

the girl working there. After the game the girl gave us a ride back to the boat. We all just talked for a bit then went to sleep

Saturday 6th February 2005. Day 8

We woke up to the sound of the motor. We were going to the good reef break. When we got there it was windy and crap. So that told us we had to surf the little beach break. The beach break wasn't as good but fun. We surfed for about 3 hours. Then we had lunch and went into town for some candy and for some to use the Internet. At night we had dinner watched a movie and went to sleep.

Sunday 7th February 2005. Day 9

The waves sucked and I was so sunburnt that my back felt like it was in a fire. Jack and I watched a movie and talked about everything. At around 4:00pm we all went to shoot photos before dark. The waves were the same as the last few days. After surfing we walked halfway back but it was nothing like our walk of wonders. We got back to the boat ate dinner watched a movie and went to sleep.

Monday 8th February 2005. Day 10

Today was our last day on the boat, and the waves sucked. We left the bay where we were at to come back to the main island. We got to see some whales jumping and having fun. Then we fished for a
