Anchor Position: 10°05.027N
124°34.831E in 30 feet with unknown bottom
Lapinin Is. Bahol Sea
Philippines
Tonight after another short day of motoring we are anchored in a large bay near the bottom of Lapinin island. There is not much around as far as development just a few small villages. The bonus is that like the other anchorages so far we do have passable internet via Kathy's "smart phone". It makes my blog writing easier though it is still simpler to use posting via sailmail. More importantly having the internet makes following the weather much easier.
We got moving at 0730 for a planned 19 mile day. The engine drive refrigeration worked along with the water maker. We suffered no problems on the trip. The only adverse thing was having to motor in to a one plus knot current.
The anchorage here is very calm and quiet. The quiet is especially nice after the constant noise of the boat yard and the adjoining shipyard back in Port Carmen. The water is warm as I had a nice float off the back of the boat, though not clear like in our first anchorage.
We will stay put here tomorrow as I hope to sort out the problem with the auto pilot along with a few minor other things.
