Charter Thirteen
27 August – 3 September 2003
By : Skipper Brian Willy WilliamsGuests: Helmie Tilders, John Paraman, Mark Paraman,Eddie Godfrey, Gavin Ruddolph, Jason Reynolds,Ashley Walter, Ross LindsayThis trip we had some of Jefferies Bay legends on and theywere keen for some big swell, unfortunately the biggest waveswe had were 5" Franklins, it was a good session though,as we had it to ourselves and it felt great to get into somebigger waves after 3 days at Burgers, perfect burgers mind youbut who come to Indo to surf that? The trip had plenty of keenfisherman and sailors onboard and we caught every species offish that Mentawai could offer, the highlight being the 25kgWahoo that Selemat our deckie caught, Ross scored a greatsailfish also and released it. Other highlights were Eddieamusing us with the amount of shit that he bought and Gavin'sability to keep his hair perfect and Marky's attempt not to havea beer before lunch. The Boys weren't happy to hear that thebiggest swell of the year hit as we anchored back in Padang,anyway they will be back in 2004 to try again.I had a great time skippering the BJ.
