Cokes

My cabin buddy, Bill Macdonald exiting the foam ball. This spot is called "Cokes" after the local factory. We had a cultural tour of the local village in the hot Maldivian heat for an hour or so, ending in the gift shops - the only time our feet hit land in nine days (apart from the coral!)

Young x Fever

In the liner notes of his 1977 anthology album Decade, Neil Young stated that he wrote "Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand" while delirious in bed in Topanga Canyon with a 103 °F (39 °C) fever. So I'm making an effort to land some type here despite feeling the same on a cold, wet spring morning.  I can barely click the mouse. Don't know how he did it.
Pic below is our surf guide from last week, Stumpy. He sure could sniff out the perfect take off spot and find the odd Maldivian barrel as well. I can't sniff anything at the moment. Lasted two days on The Commute before succumbing to some sort of energy sapping, nose/throat/head cold bug thing. So grateful it happened AFTER the trip and not during.
