Life is good....From Cloud 9 to Peleliu Wall....

Life is good on Infinity....Sailing from Sirgao, the Philippines to Palau (Carolines Islands)

We are blessed, surfing in Cloud Nine (the Philippines) on Saturday and diving the Peleliu Wall in Palau on Thursday.....Yes, life is good....

Past weeks highlights:

- Diver Sheridan's half hour in shark infested water waiting to be detangled after his safety line device got stuck underwater in the coral;

- Award for best breakfast before a dive goes to: Bowie for his Cinnamon buns;

- Tattoo's of the week: Julien and Sheridan's shoulder burns after getting up close and personal with the engine pipe...Bad ass. Still living the engine room dream...

- Living the dive compressor dream more than ever....and filling tanks for 16 divers..

- Eating cakes for three birthday girls (Sophie, Tara and Stephanie) and one birthday boy (Julien) between August 11th and August 19th;

- Start preparing for the Sea Dance Festival, think about our costumes and a song for the Infinity Tribe

We try our best to keep this blog up to date for our friends and families but the internet connection on the islands is often very slow and limited.

Love to all and Mermaid Hugs, Stephanie

Leaving the Philippines....

A little Tribe on the way to the Great Pacific...
We are leaving Surigao today. Here we made new friends, cute little kids waving at us everytime we arrive by dinghy ashore and shouting out loud our names...Bowiiiiiiie, Rembo, Fred (aka Phil), Josh, Steeeeeeph...
I will not forget the Immigration Officer of Surigao, we got to know and appreciate each other after I spent a whole day and a half in his smoky office struggling with paperwork, talking on the phone to his boss in Manilla and trying not to pay the extra money he was asking from us... We became best friends in the end and he offered to drive me back to the boat and bought me fried banana's...I love the Philippines !
Next Port of Entry: Palau.
