pagi.
A friend up here reckons you don’t have to do a driving test in Bali. You just rock up to the station in the chumped wagon and pay 20 bones. Gotta say the Indonesians drive pretty damn well for no regulation. But hey, you don’t really get to drive faster than 20 clicks.

Finally we’ve got some swell up here in Bali. 3-4 foot and the pesty winds of last week have subsided. Fun day. One of the best so far. But it’s damn hot. Like scorchin’ 38 degrees. The run across the black volcanic beaches is now a frantic dash to save your soles…not many guys out. Happy dayz, not coming home.

dead fish.
Every four years Bali gets a red tide. It’s happening right now. Basically the stinky lineup is full of dead fish (saw a dead dog in the water as well). The unofficial explanation from a marine biologist up here is that its fertilizer and chemical run off from the land. This runoff creates an abnormal algae bloom which soaks up all the oxygen in the water…killing all the fish. But hey that’s warung talk, so they may be using grenades again whilst fishing.

Looks like you’ve had a few waves on Sat, bit average on Sunday and this week looks small and undesirable. Did I mention Garuda flies directly to Bali a few times a week? Cause the next couple days up here are gonna smoke. sheeeow::uge
