Acoustic…..Duck Harbor in
Maine looks very similar to the
San Juan and Gulf Islands near
Seattle and
Vancouver. I love the golden arbutus trees as the sun goes down. Is it the same there?
Again in the Philippines…… is NW corner of Tablas Island where limestone rocks carved by Typhoons make wonderful umbrellas if you want to snorkel in the shade and numerous grottos are accessible only by
small boat.
First shot is looking out from the beach as Rock-Man keeps watch, second is inside a small grotto, that we discovered the day before (3rd Photo).
This area is a fair
weather anchorage only, very deep with steep-to inclines right to the beach. Many
coral outcrops makes the going slow.
4th Photo shows that you need to back yourself in between them and beach tie the stern in order to keep your
anchor pulling uphill. Isolated spot with fresh drinking coconuts on the beach makes it all worthwhile and in the transition period (April/May) you can stay there for days and explore the grottoes and subterranean caves .
This whole area has a cottage marble industry and in the adjacent island of Romblon you can find some nice work
