Port Carmen, Cebu
Philippines
It's the start of another month and here is a bit of a catch up on the activities aboard Po oino Roa.
We have now finished the cockpit cushions. There is still lots more sewing to be completed, some back cushions and throw pillows also for the cockpit along with new sun shades for all around the new hardtop. This week we have an appointment with the folks from Hyde Sails to discuss the building of the enclosure for the cockpit. Kathy says it's to big of a job for her to undertake.
Sometimes it's the simple routine repairs that lead on to a much larger project. What started as spending some time repairing the toilet in the forward head has now led to a somewhat major undertaking. After removing the toilet itself I discovered one of the mounting bolts broken so I decided to remove the wooden base and rebuild from the floor up and repaint the entire area. So this along with the usual things has been keeping me busy.
As I've said before this is a land of fiestas and recently we were invited to our friend Min Min's house to enjoy a party there and then visit the village where she lives which was celebrating some sort of holiday. We enjoyed a wonderful roast pig and a host of other local foods then a walk through the crowed streets.
Tomorrow we are off to our monthly shopping trip to the city of Cebu where we can stock up on some items that can not be found locally. We bus to the city, shop, spend the night in a hotel, shop again and return to the boat. Always a nice break in our daily routine.
