Hello everyone! It’s been quiet a while since I last updated my page. For the mean time, I haven’t got anything especial to share so far, so let me formally introduce to all of you here my personal blog site – Pinoy Brother . For most of you in here, you have been there already as I put some links to that site in some of my posts here. When I am not around in my page here, expect me to be at Pinoy Brother and you can still keep in touch with me there. Ciao!602 days ago
Hello everyone! I was a bit busy for the past days and I could not find enough time to visit your pages and obviously, I haven’t updated my page too. So it means I got lots of things to catch up here in Spaces. Our 14-day Marquesas cruise have just ended and we are back in Papeete right now. I would like to share with you here one of my activities during the recent cruise to the Marquesas. On March 24, I along with my colleagues did some hiking trail up to the mountain of Nuku Hiva. It was an interesting visit to one of Nuku Hiva’s summit. The 1 and ½ walk up was really exhausting yet very exciting. One installment of the popular reality TV show Survivor:Marquesas was shoot here and being able to see for myself the location of this TV show made me felt like I was in the show too! I am inviting everyone to read my recent adventure to the mountain. You may click here or view more photos here .

M/S Paul Gauguin is anchored here in Cook's Bay, Moorea. I just finished doing the chart correction with the latest Weekly Notice to Mariners and I still have over three hours to wait before another second mate comes to relieve me. The photo here is one of the ship's guests having great time windsurfing. I took this photo today from the ship's bridge during my watch. Windsurfing is a water sport using windsurf board. Controlling the direction is done by rotating and tilting the mast as well as tilting and carving the board. Wind surfing is possible even with winds as low as 3 knots to as high as 50 knots. Thanks to the ship's marina team for this basic windsurfing information I have here.628 days ago
M/S Paul Gauguin regularly make calls in this beautiful island of Raiatea, one of the islands of French Polynesia. At a distance of 114 nautical miles from the port of Papeete, Tahiti, it is about 11 hours navigation for M/S Paul Gauguin at the speed of 10 knots to reach the island. Of course, our captain can order to increase the speed but it is not necessary or else we will get to the island of Raiatea before the sun goes up and it will be a great disappointment to the ship's guests on board for not being able to see the island during the approach. While the ship is at port, a unique Polynesian show at the Pool Deck is being held. The show features the children of Raiatea performing rapid hip movement dance to the beat of drums. You can see from the photos here guests having their great time onboard as they danced with the children. More photos here .632 days ago
This is Bloody Mary's Restaurant, the most popular restaurant in Bora Bora Island. Offering fresh international and local seafood cuisine, Bloody Mary's is most visited among Hollywood celebrities. When I made a short stop to the restaurant during my first biking trip two months ago, I saw Hollywood celebrity names who have dined at the restaurant written on something like a wooden board posted at the entrance. To name a few, I saw the names of Pierce Brosnan, Rod Stewart, Harrison Ford, Marlon Brando, The Carpenters, Diana Ross, Jane Fonda, Meg Ryan and several other celebrities. Soon, I will find my name written there too...lol... I have some photos of the restaurant and you can view the photos by following the link below: Bloody Mary's Restaurant
