The next obstacle was trying to find a boat big enough for all my equipment and that could motor outside the reef and check other passes in the reef. All the small boats stay inside the reef so I had to find a large fishing boat that would be willing to venture outside the reef and close to the surf. There are some motorized tin boats for the surfing camps, but they are full of surfers and don’t travel to the windy locations that I wanted to check out. I rented a small wooden canoe with a guide that spoke English and together we paddled from fishing boat to fishing boat trying to get someone to help me. After about an hour of paddling and chatting with the local fisherman we found a fishing boat big enough that would accept my terms. The boat itself was super sketchy and probably about 40 years old. The guy would spray a fuel cocktail into the carburettor to get the old girl fired up and the captain steered the boat with two pieces of rope that were tied to the keel. I was loving it!
