Coron, Busuanga Is.
Today finds us back in the anchorage in Coron. It was time to restock the cupboards and take care of some internet projects such as taxes and a blog update with photos. Here I am able to add the photos but it is terribly slow. So it's writing using our Sailmail provider and then once on the blog go back and add the photos through the edit process.
We have just returned from a week of cruising around several different anchorages of the Calamain group of islands. We even managed to enjoy a short safari while visiting Illulluk Bay and Calauit island. There we anchored at 12° 16.16 N 119° 53. 08 E. In the late 1970's the Philippine and Kenyon governments came to an agreement and three species of African animals were imported to what is now the Calauit Safari park. Originally there were fifteen each of Zebra, Giraffe and Eland antelope. All three species have thrived and each now numbers about thirty even though the original group has died off. The park is also home to some 700 of the small Calamain deer along with crocodiles, snakes, porcupines, monkeys and other indigenous animals. Some of the smaller animals such as the monkeys, porcupines and Palawan bearcats are kept in enclosures for viewing, though only for a month at a time and then released back in to the wild as a new group are brought in to the view areas.
