We debated where to surf the night before and decided to stay in treasure island to make the call. We awoke early to check out the waves and see someone on the beach waving a towel. We then see a boat stuck on the reef. Kirby was first to jump in the dingy with Maki and Nico and they went to help them. It was like a movie we were watching and unfolding before our eyes. Luckily no one was seriously hurt but these 3 fisherman were in shock. They ran aground 3 am onto the reef and lost everything. Even worst, it wasn't their boat and the owner was notified and said he would come in 5 hours to pick them up.
Five hours turned into 2 days and the owner finally came by to pick up his crew. Thinking how angry he was going to be, he hugged his crew and was thankful they were alive. They managed to salvage the waterlogged motor and a few fish but that was it. Each of us will remember this day as it was meant for us to be there.
