So today concludes our little Mentawai sojourn from this 47 foot powercat Tengirri. Special thanks to the Tengirri boat crew & Telstra for generously sponsoring a satellite internet connection making these reports from such a remote part of the globe possible. Also special thanks to Mad Dog for uploading to the site from Sydney. If you’d like to do a trip like this one, there are still spare spots available in late season 2007. Just contact Anthony Kiem on 0434 249 834 www.tengirri.com Otherwise they’re currently taking bookings for 2008. The Tengirri boat is one of the best operators up here. It’s the fastest and has the best little Indonesian nakal cook, Donald who can make a "Long Grain" style meal in a 1 square metre kitchen.

See you back in Bondi::uge
