Mentawais Introduction

Located about 80 miles west of the Indonesia's largest island, Sumatra, the Mentawai Islands are the home of some of the best, most consistent surf on the planet. Because of their exposure to swells in the Roaring 40s, the sheer volume of surf spots in the region, and the remoteness of the islands (some of which are uninhabited), the Mentawais have become the premiere surf destination for hard-core surfers looking to escape the real world and surf eight hours a day.

While land-based surf resorts at Macaroni's and a few other popular Mentawais spots have started to spring up, the most popular way to surf the Mentawais is still by "boat trip," in which a group of surfers charters a boat for ten to twelve days. Scores of these surf charter boats patrol the area from March to November every year, each boat containing an average of eight frothing surfers, and the result is often crowded lineups at stand-out breaks like Lance's Right, Macaroni's, and Thunders. But because the Mentawais offer nearly limitless waves, good boat operators will know of uncharted surf spots to sneak off to when crowds at other spots start to build.

The reason for all the hype: simply, the surf. Rights, lefts, big waves, playful points, open shoulders, and racing tubes ... from three feet to twelve, the Mentawais has it all.

Charter prices range from $2,000 to $5,000 for a ten- to twelve-day trip, but those who've experienced the surf in the Mentawais say it's worth every penny.

Crowds
The stand-out spots like Lance's Right and Macca's have perpetual crowds on them from March to October, but the beauty of the Mentawais boat trip is that if you don't want to battle three dozen guys at Lance's Right, your captain can probably lead you to a little gem nearby with one tenth the crowd. The busiest months are May, June, and September.

Hazards
Hazards are similar throughout much of wilderness Indo: razor-sharp coral reefs, heavy sun exposure, and rough open-ocean passages when storms arrive. If you've go ashore on any of the islands, it's also advisable to bring mosquito repellent.

Pollution
Very little, as the Mentawais are nowhere near a population center.

The Seasons

Summer
Summer (December - February) is downtime in the Mentawais, when most the boats go in for repairs and rest. While there are still waves, the winds tend to be less than favorable, and much of the Indonesian surf community relocates to Bali.

Fall
Fall (March - April) is when the big weather machine at the bottom of the world switches on and starts showering the Mentawais with south and southwest swell energy. Though fall isn't the most popular time to charter your boat trip, each year it gets busier with surfers looking to avoid the winter flood of frothers.

Winter
Winter (June - September) is go time in the Mentawais, and from June to September it's very hard to get skunked. The source of the surf is low-pressure systems in the southern Indian Ocean when send ground swells thousands of miles across the open ocean. Summer is the not only the most consistent time but also the most crowded.

Spring
Spring (October - November) still packs a punch in the Mentawais, and October is typically considered a consistent month. But as November matures, swells die off, and by December most boat charters are in dry dock getting repairs and readying themselves for the following fall.

Adventure to mentawai island

Hidup ini begitu singkat jika tidak kita isi dengan hal-hal menarik, dan harus di isi dengan hal yang bermanfaat. Bagi saya hal yang menarik itu salah satunya adalah pertualangan (adventure), untuk melihat, merasakan, dan melakukan hal baru. adapun perjalanan rutin itu antara lain, mendaki gunung, lintas alam, camping, dll, namun itu semua saya lakukan masih di wilayah pulau sumatera, dan kebanyakan di hutan gunung. sehingga akhir tahun 2012 saya merencanakan perjalanan pulau dan pantai di luar pulau sumatera.

Bagi saya pulau Sumatera ini begitu luas, selama 20 tahun hidup, saya belum bisa keluar dari pulau ini.Namun kata orang nun jauh diseberang laut sana masih banyak tempat yang lain dan lebih memukau. Menginjak di umur ke 20 ini aku mulai melihat keluar mencoba meninggalkan pulau sumatera yang merupakan pulau yang tak pernah ku tinggalakan selama lebih dari 20 tahun hidup ini. Dan tempat pertama yang aku kunjungi meninggalkan pulau sumatera adalah Kepulauan Mentawai, tepatnya Pulau Pagai

Akses kapal umum ke mentawai ada 3 buah yaitu, ke Siberut, Sipora dan Sikakap. karena kami mau ke Pulau Pagai, maka memilih rute ke Sikakap. Dan dari padang kita naik kapal feri bernama AMBU-AMBU di teluk bungus, teluk bungus terletak disamping teluk bayur (arah ke Painan) atau sekitar 40 menit pejalanan dari Pasar Raya jika menggunakan angkot (ongkos = Rp5000,- per orang).Kapal menuju Sikakap hanya beroperasi setiap hari selasa (berangkat dari bungus padang selasa jam 17:00 WIB). Lama perjalanan yaitu sekitar 14 jam atau kita sampai di Pelabuahan sikakap kepulauan mentawai pada hari Rabu jam 07:00 WIB. Harga tiket ekonomi untuk orang dewasa yaitu Rp.95000,-, sedangkan untuk Anak-anak Rp 75000,-.

Cerita Narrative Inggris dan terjemahannya

Molly’s dream

Cerita Narrative Inggris dan terjemahannya

Molly was a young woman who worked for a farmer on his farm. One day the farmer gave her a pail of milk. He told her to sell it and keep the money for herself.

Molly was very much pleased. She put the pail of milk on her head and went to market.

As she walked along, she said to herself, “I shall get some money for the milk. With the money I will buy a few hens. The hens will lay eggs, and from the eggs I shall get more hens. I will sell the hens, and with the money I will buy a new dress.

“How beautiful I shall look in my new dress! The young men will ask me to walk with them, but I will not walk with them. They will ask me to dance with them, but I will not dance with them. They want to marry me, but I will toss my head, and refuse them all.”

So she tossed her head. Down came the pail and milk and all.

Her fine dream was all over.

Terjemahannya

Khayalan Molly

Molly adalah seorang gadis mudah yang bekerja pada lading seorang petani. Suatu hai pak tani memberikannya seember susu. Dia memintanya untuk menjual susu tersebut dan uang hasil penjualannya diberikan kepadanya.

Molly sangat senang. Dia membawa susu tersebut di atas kepalanya ke pasar.

Sambil berjalan, dia berkata pada dirinya, “Saya akan mendapatkan uang dari susu ini. Dengan uang tersebut nanti saya akan belikan ayam. Kemudian ayam itu akan bertelur, dan dari telur itu menetas maka ayam saya akan bertambah banyak. Saya akan menjualnya dan dengan uang tersebut saya akan membeli pakaian baru.

“Betapa cantiknya saya kelihatan dengan pakaian baru tersebut. Para pria akan meminta saya berjalan dengannya, tapi saya tidak mau berjalan dengan mereka. Mereka akan meminta saya untuk berdansa bersamanya, tapi saya tidak mau berdansa dengan mereka. Mereka ingin menikah dengan saya, saya akan menggelengkan kepala, dan menolak mereka semua.”

Maka dia pun menggelengkan kepalanya. Ember yang berada di atas kepalanya jatuh dan susu yang berada di dalamnya tumpah semua.

Dan khayalannya telah berakhir (tanpa mendapatkan apapun)
