Island Opportunities - a photo on Flickriver

“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.” - Henry David Thoreau (American Essayist, Poet and Philosopher, 1817-1862)

It was a great day for boating and we figured that my girls are old enough for their first island hopping experience and we did it the Cebuano way. So we did the basic hop, getting off on a bangka (local outrigger canoe) from Punta Engano, Mactan, and circled around the Gilutongan Channel and saw Caohagan, Gilutungan, Nalusuan, Olango, & Sulpa Islands.

Our first stop. In the photo here, bangka boats are lined up near the shores of one island (I forgot which one as I was too eager to jump off the clear, aqua-colored waters as you can see). Local fisherman come up to your boat and offer their fresh catch for the day. Your bangka crew will then offer to cook it for your in the boat if you wish.

Photos taken from the waters of the Gilutungan Channel, off Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines.

You'll appreciate it more LARGE.
