Lat N 15 degrees 48 minutes
Long 119 degrees 44 minutes
about 10 hours out of Subic bay , cutting in toward the coast
Mike is on "bow watch" and Roger is at the helm. Wade and David are off watch and are missing the show. Overhead the stars are amazing, all round the boat are the tiny lights of the numerous (40-50) bankas (small fishing boats), at least most of them have tiny lights (hence the bow watch) and the bow and stern wakes sparkle with bioluminescence. Magical. The lightening from the distant squall, not so much.
