Running Before The Storm

This wasn't taken on our departure from Tabar Island, but the day looked like this.
This is one of my favorite photos, showing Judy on watch as Wings speeds its way before the storm, with the jib tied off on deck and the main reefed, and still we're sailing fast.
Actually taken off the coast of Australia in 2002.

Supposedly, during the month of June, the passage to Hong Kong would be one of light winds, out of the SW, but we found fast conditions in a NE Monsoon, and made good time.

We were in Manila during the presidential election. One candidate used yellow baloons as a symbol, and these men are on the way to one of his campaign rallys with the day's supply of baloons.

In Manila we visited the Intramuros, the old Spanish walled fort which was the original city of Manila. This Cathedral is little changed from the 1600's.

This vessel, which looks like a waterbug, is typical of the bancas plying the waterways of the Philippines. They come in all sizes and colors, the're fast and efficient.

Motorbike taxi's and chrome plated jeepney's are the public transportation options in Puerto Galera (Oh, and bancas too, of course).

Puerto Galera, Port of Galleons, a fully protected harbor, a nice town, and a fine yacht club, and a long history. Don't miss this one.

You can tell from the angle of heel and the white caps, this is a boisterous sail. It took us all of one day to sail 44 miles up the Verde Island Channel to Puerto Galera, but it was a great sail!

Coron is largly built over water, and the bancas almost look like gondolas. Is this Venice?

Dumagete: A delightful, little visited, seaside town in the Philippines. Here we fond an excellent Mexican restaurant and good shopping. It is a university town.

Some teenagers came to visit near Siaragao, and they parked their bancas off our stern.
