breakie in the very familiar Mercure hotel Padang. Boat boys picked us up on time at 8am to take us to the boat on the same bay climbing way up the coastal mountain cliff then down the other side. Padang is much cleaner now, at least the rubbish on the streets has been picked up and probably just been spread out somewhere else. Now, welcome to the Addiction and our gateway to the Ments. So Good. Stoked to meet owner James Dickinson and captain Lee Clarke who greeted us warmly on the dock. Quick swim on the way out after setting off at 11am then chugged along on the high seas until around midnight with the Hole in mind for the morning.
