Hamish catches a Massive snapper

Last night Hamish, Brad and Nick caught some of the largest snapper we have seen here in the Maldives. It was to late to eat it for dinner so we cooked it up for lunch.

Catch of the Day

After picking up the guests we headed out to nice right hander with no one around, blue skies and clear water. One of the guests caught a yellow fin tuna, Ibraham the cook sliced the fish up for a lunchtime treat.

The Liquid Crew had a session on the front of the boat making their new shirts for the season. Some got a bit creative with the stencil. Not too much overspray on the boat either. Well done boys.

Filling Up And Heading Out



We wake to the sound of the anchor and the crew getting ready for the full day of driving. We spend the morning putting new photos on the wall and getting all our gear into place. As much as we like Male, it feels good to hear the motor running and the morning sun on our beam.

New Surf Racks

We spent about four hours today getting wood for the new surf racks, nothing like heading to Bunning’s back home. After months of deliberating on the best design, we went to work, soon realizing we forgot a drill bit halting our progress. Nothing comes easy when living on a boat. A good three hours it will take to get the right bit.

Last Night in Male
Spending most our day building the surf racks, we headed into Male for our last night before the three-day voyage south. The city comes alive as most people spend the day sleeping through the heat. We took the crew out for dinner and spent the rest of the evening picking some final things before we pull anchor at six in the morning.

Male Cruising

It feels so good to be back here in the Maldives surfing warm water and crystal clear waves. We surfed Male today, a spot called Towns, small but fun. Seeing old friends is always fun, everyone changes a bit over the few months we are away, as do we. Male is a small city so we picked up some bikes from the bike shop and headed out, stocking up on all the things needed to make the season go as smoothly as possible.
