Hard to believe only 2.5 days left before we leave the island. Surfing just starting to feel like I'm hitting the improvement stage. Great news for today was that a South African surfer who fell overboard during the Mentawai crossing in rough seas yesterday was found alive after more than 24 hours in the water. Really a miracle that they found him...and great rescue seamanship. Weather has improved today, but surf still really small. Taking one last lay day to let my MCL knee injury recover. Swell supposed to build tomorrow and Saturday, so will tape and go if it gets good. Explored the island a bit this morning. Here's the Mentawai version of our Florida Kingfisher..
