holy koh
February 22nd, 2005 stevel
we took a crazy speedboat to Koh Tao today (1.5 hr there, and another 1.5 hr back) to spend the day snorkelling and lounging around on a beach. the speedboat driver was insane. that’s all i can say. certifiably insane. he was racing another boat out to Koh Tao for the better part of half the ride out there. wendy and i were holding on for dear life. after some really great snorkelling, we had lunch on the island and then headed over to some random beach to do some more snorkelling and lounging on the beach where we talked to some girls from Germany.
quote of the day: “for real man. fuck that shit.” - not amazing in and of itself, but it sounded better when it came from one of the German girls who was ethnic Korean. it was startling. 
after that, our ride back to Koh Samui was even worse. the driver was trying to surf the waves…. with a speedboat. he would throttle down right before the wave, and then floor it off the crest of the wave causing the boat to SLAM back into the ocean every time. it was a long painful 1.5 hr back to the island where we recuperated by having dinner at Sandal’s again.
