Report No 9…..to ISC CEO Tipi……….Bali Island……………Padang Padang Ship Wreck and Reef Clean Up
25rd July, 2008…..Friday
Hi Tipi,……CEO, Indonesian Surfing Championship (ISC)
Tomorrow morning, we will fill the shipwrecks 8 intact freezers etc., with water, (Had engine trouble, or we would have done it this morning) so she is so heavy that she hopefully cannot move, even in big seas, until we are ready to let her move. We are also tightening all ropes and monitoring her twice per day. Any large pieces of rubbish will be cleared on low tide, daily. Also, if you guys see anything please let us know.
We plan to Secure the Padang Padang shipwreck until after the 10th August/the end of the Ripcurl ASP WCT Ulu’s/Padang Padang event.
We have communicated this plan to Local government and asked them to get agreement from the Tourism Board and our friends the Water Police and the Coast Guard.
We will try to delay any cutting up or towing operations until after the above date. I think now we have the contacts to pretty well assure this.
This is so there will be NO interruptions to this major Bali surf tourist attraction.
Did not have time today to say a BIG THANK YOU, TIPI from our TEAM. Without your, Jason Childs, Lorca Lueras and many others key communicators, we would not be sitting here with a clean and clear Padang Padang Shipwreck, Line Up, Reef and Beach.
Together we will make a difference, and restore the balance for future generations.
Best……….Mike
