| Farewell sunset (Busuanga Bay Lodge on the right) |
This morning we
left our peaceful Busuanga Yacht Club anchorage, with its sheltered bay and
friendly people.
 |
| Tangat Island |
It is very
overcast today, which makes for easier, cooler sailing but not such good
photos. The islands are so spectacular. Tangat Island was nothing but sheer cliffs,
dropping to the sea, with the occasional tiny white beach. It looks nothing but dark and menacing in the
photos. Unfortunately…
Coron Town itself,
at first glance, looks disconcertingly like…Hobart!

| Love it! |
We had a bit of trouble
finding a good anchorage. It is all a
bit deep and then suddenly – Reef!
Coral! No depth at all! Where we are now is OK but…maybe we will bang
and crash a bit as the tide goes down…

Depth – variable…
Coron Town (Busuanga Island)
Our anchoring was rather
impeded by a small local boat, with skipper & wife, who were fascinated and
came right up close behind, making it all very difficult for Captain Pete, who
needed to reverse. In a hurry! We were, however, very charmed by this boat, with
its resident chook…
(The chook is perched on the box at the front...will see if I can get a close-up by zooming in.)
How delightful to have a chook on such a small boat! Great to see you're having regular internet. X
