Unreal! What a trip. Adventure, laughter,  mishap, stunning scenery, waves, fishing, sailing and diving all rolled into one. Wish I had studied my French - would have helped tremendously, but we got  by. The waves and fishing were  as good as I had expected, but the adventure and search was a real buzz. The beer ( Number 1) was good. Thanks to all the crew for their effort, wit and support.  It made for a good team.  Although many,  my greatest joys were feeding the sharks with Gilbo and trimming the vessel to maximum efficiency. Once again thanks crew, it was a trip well worth doing. Thanks for the chess games dumpy, made my brain work. Bon voyage, au revoir & bon wee.

I didn't know what to expect on a trip like this, but I have received a very rewarding experience- found a few great places to surf, cultivated and renewed friendships, learnt heaps about teamwork, and facing yourself in difficult situations. I thank all the people on this boat for being themselves and cracking me up regularly.  Haven't laughed so much in years!  Special thanks: go to Dave who accepted the responsibility of driving us round, and did so skillfully, I believe, . And to Pete for bringing the Harvey Norman shop with him! This trip is gonna be DOCUMENTED! Also especially for the invitation to come along.

Well here I sit scratching my rouge nouisetts thinking about these mongrels I spent a holiday with . I pissed myself laughing every day, what a bunch of wags. Had some good waves, caught the biggest fish of my life to date. Thanks to everybody for pitching in with all there muscle and individual skills. Learning to sail was a great experience, read books like a madman, had a good crack at the number ones, checked out some towns and mangroves, pushed a boat off some sand, drank beer on an Island with some Marcel's, had another good crack at the number ones, saw some of the most beautiful women ever, ate stale bread from a nucklehead's campground, that reminds me, got to get a ten mm spanner. Without doubt the best holiday I have even saved my semen on, thanks to everybody for their wit, farts, jokes, camaraderie and passing the number ones on request, look out next year we're gonna cause even more havoc. Thanks fellas.

 Bonjour, sava? Well this has undoubtedly been the best holiday I have ever had. Not so much like a holiday though, more like an adventure. Discovering uncrowded waves, fishing, diving, exploring uninhabited islands, visiting towns, interacting with locals, and so many funny moments that made me laugh so hard that I thought I was going to piss myself. Part of the adventure also were numerous challenges, but with skill and teamwork we blew them all away. Thanks lads for a fucken great time. Can't wait till next year. Au revoir.

Adventure Plus. Best holiday ever. Never have been at sea before and I loved it. Sailing is a good buzz. My expectations of the surf were higher than what we received but Huey did not deliver. We still had heaps of good surfs. Given the right conditions the joint will go off - next year should be good as we now know what/where and when to go. That was the best part of the holiday - the exploration of unchartered territory - no surf guides. I can now see why all my sailing cousins are such piss heads - sailing and beer go hand in hand.  Thanks to Dean (Aristos - Yandes Surprise Chef) he cooked some killer dishes from nearly absolute nothing. The best times of the trip all came from the unexpected. The missions into the towns for supplies were always classic. The best one being the return from Bourail - when the dingy run out of juice and had to swim the dingy plus supplies back to the boat in the dark. That was definitely not in the brochure - fuck that was funny. The mad dashes to the fishing lines were funny - "We're On". The other classic quote - "Its deeper than its looks". Thanks guys for a killer holiday. Cant wait for next year.

Magic mountains and wide open seas- the beauty is there for all to see.  The ocean is so alive it is just a pleasure to be sailing on the sea.

 Every town another experience. What a laugh! sometimes ends in tears...

The locals are so helpful, it's a delight to see,  keeps the adventure running along the sea

-her glory and beauty as i see keeps mysteriously at sea.

There are good waves for all to have, fishing and diving was just all fun.

The experience of rolling swells and high winds keeps us on full alert again, the crew is number one - what a flying time to be at sea! It's been a pleasure and quite an experience for me to sail for the number one team and let the good times roll on as far as we can see! Salut!
