Anchoring the Lagoon 450 Parlay Revival within meters of breaking surf at HT's Hollow Trees in the Mentawai Islands, Colin sets a tight anchor alarm because a reef sits immediately adjacent and swell was forecast to build.1:43 A charter boat anchored even closer provided the only reassurance.1:36 The crew spent three days surfing the break, which locals call the "surgeon's table" for its shallow, reef-cutting end section.2:42 From HT's Hollow Trees, the crew motored — having motored almost continuously since leaving Java — to Aloita Resort, where cruisers can use the bar, restaurant, and spa with advance notice.3:58 The resort runs two guided surf sessions daily, launching at 6 a.m., and surf guide Zach enforced lineup etiquette by sending guests out two at a time and holding position in the queue.13:24 Colin rates Aloita 9.5 out of 10.14:26 A dinghy run into Tua Pejat, the Mentawai capital roughly 2.5 miles away, covered provisioning, rubbish disposal, and picking up crew member Ben.16:21 Laundry for eight aboard uses a saltwater pre-wash in a chili bin, a second wash, then a fresh-water rinse to finish.21:37 Knowing resort lunch windows creates uncrowded access to world-class breaks for cruisers with their own tender.14:10
