Hey BassyiusMaximus

When I was a younger man, we used to get primed drinking the Bullfrog on Magasisi Drive then hop in a Jeepney to go out to the Barrio or Subic City. Halfway there, we would practice "Emergency Egress" and bail out the back.

Back in the early 80's there were alot of fish out at Grande Island, but when I went back in 96 there was nothing to be found. Although Fillipino fishing practices are enviormentally devastating, the russian and chinese trawlers just outside PI terratorrial waters were just as bad.

I remember transiting the San Bernedino Straits just south of Luzon in the middle of the night and having to rescue a guy that was fishing in a Bonka Boat in the middle of the Strait. Just a guy in a dugout log that got run over by the USS Kitty Hawk. No idea how that guy survived.
