Can we go on island hopping with this?

 

 

 

A couple of days before the scheduled island hopping, Mindanao was under storm signal number one. It is the first time here in Davao City after 30 years. See, Davao is typhoon free but typhoon Tonyo hit Mindanao which includes Davao City. However, we only experienced the usual rainshowers everyday but seacrafts were not allowed to sail even to the nearby islands – Samal and Talicud. On Saturday, it rained and I am in doubt if the Island hopping will push thru. Since there’s no advise from the organizers that it will be postponed, we were at the drop off point in the old Sasa port early on Sunday morning. The weather over Davao City is fine with the sun shining above us but at the distance, Samal Island is covered with rain clouds. However, glad that it didn’t rain. I don’t know where did the rain clouds go but it was teeming hot while we are having our island hopping in Samal and the small islands nearby.

Welcome to SkyWatch Friday! A very nice contribution to our skywatching community. I think I wouldn’t go island hopping if there might be a storm on the way!
