LIVIN' LA VIDA BONEMAN
Just back from 5 days in Puerto Rico, visiting my friend Dan Taylor. Dan is in the Coast Guard, and his boat, the Ocracoke, had to stay out until Friday (I arrived on Wednesday.) They caught 129 Dominican Republic Nationals, including 48 females, three of whom were pregnant and eight minors, in the Mona Passage trying to reach US soil and had to repatriate them. Between his drug interdiction and migrant repatriation experiences, it's hard to one-up DT on any work related story! Anyway, good weather, good waves, and good rum the whole time. Can't believe I've never been there, but you can bet I'll be back soon! Enjoy the pictures below, and view some more here.

# 8 BREAK, SAN JUAN
We hit the # 8 break, because it had the most consistent break during my time in San Juan. 3-4 foot reef break. Sweet, but it took a long time to paddle out to the break. I was definitely not ready for that paddle - over a quarter mile with a strong current, just to hit the impact zone. This shot was taken after our first session, and I could barely hold that board up.
