Palawan sea kayak trip - February 2006 With a few sea kayaks, several jugs of water, and a surprisingly large supply of graham crackers Kris, Kristen and I set out on a multi-day traverse of the Bacuit Archipelago. Each night we slept on deserted beaches with no tent and prayed that it wouldn't rain. We didn't see any rain clouds, and on the third day (into the five day trip) we had reached the South China Sea and decided to explore one of the more remote islands. Within an hour the winds were driving from the west, churning the sea with huge open water swells that crashed ominously against the jagged limestone cliffs that were the only scaps of land available to us. Chalk it up to another lesson in my ongoing education in having a greater respect for the power of the ocean. Luckily we were rescued by a passing fishing boat--who happend to be Kris and Kristen's neighbor. You sure do meet some great people through the Peace Corps!(Click
