PUERTO GALERA

Moored Position 13' 30.332 N 120' 57.224 E
Puerto Galera. Mindoro

 We have now been here in the Puerto Galera area for the last week and enjoying the small town and yacht friendly area. We are guests of the local yacht club and staying on one of their moorings for 336 pesos or about $8 US per day. Along with a secure mooring which is supposed to rated to hold in a typhoon they provide a service boat to take you either to town or the yacht club dock. Trash is just left in the service boat to be disposed of and there is fresh water available at the club dock.

Since being here we have been not to busy with any on going boat stuff just enjoying taking it easy, though I'm sure that won't last to long as the to do list never rests. We have explored the small town of Puert Galera and found OK provisioning including real cheese which had not been available in Busuanga. We have also enjoyed getting a real hamburger at a local bar The Rusty Anchor run by an expat ,John, who previously was a Tempe, Az. firefighter
