NEXT STOP BANYAK ISLANDS - COORDINATION MEETING PADANG

Both boats anchored in Teluk Dalam to rest and then departed about 2am so that they would arrive in the Banyak Islands with good light. The area has many reefs and it is dangerous to navigate in the dark.

Dr Dave Jenkins and Dr.Derek Allen arrived to head up the Surf Aid International team.

A co-ordination meeting was held at Batang Arau Hotel and here's the list:
• Dave Jenkins (SurfAid International)
• Dr.Derek Allen (Surf Aid International)
• Jossi Syahrial (SurfAid International)
• Oded Carmi ( IDEP)
• Lee Downey (IDEP)
• Samuel Schultz (IDEP)
• Marco Savio ( MerciCorps)
• Evie Woro ( MerciCorps)
• Widya Setyowati (AusAid)
• Kerry Leigh ( AusAid)
• Aldes & Arfan ( Yayasan Citra Mandiri)
• Dr.Nazaruddin & Ibu Rasyidah ( Red Cross West Sumatera)
• Amsaruddin Chan (Muhammadiyah)
• Ilpi Zukdi ( Muhammadiyah)
• Rick Cameron ( Great Breaks International)
• Jane Liddon (Sumatran Sewing Circle)
• Martin Daly ( Indies Trader)
• John Dudley ( Australian Naval Attache – AusAid)

ELM are asked to retire and leave Quiksilver and Martin Daly to manage the on-going fleet effort?? We decide to ignore this odd decision and press on independently.
