Fortune Island

This weekend my girl friend Thelma and I made a getaway from Manila.

By a chain of lucky events we wound up on a dive boat making its maiden voyage with about ten divers to Fortune Island.

Fortune Island fits the classic description of a tropical island paradise. It comes complete with a varied history and strong characters. Here is the Island from the sea shore at Nasugbu, Batangas, Philippines.


And then the next morning as the dive boat was making its landing.


Our friendly host, Peter welcomed us to the island. In the background you can see the big bangka built by Lou who stayed on board.


After the first dive we broke for lunch.



No doubt humans have been visiting this island for quite a long time. More on that and the history of this beautiful place in my next post.
