Subject: Club Noah Resort

On Apulit Island. 10 57n 119 36.6e Last night in the mangroves and tonight
on a mooring jn the lee of high cliffs, sand beaches, and a resort built on
stilts over the water alla the south seas. We passes Paley Island this
morning which the guide book said had white beaches `and waterfalls. Finding
neither we went on to Tay Tay the old capital of this island. Old Spanish
fort overlooks this forgotton village. Lunch ashore and bought some fresh
veges and fruit. Then on to Apulit for the night. The resort was a suprise
and we were approached by a patrol who told us the resort was full. We said
we would pay for a mooring and dinner---and, they said they will pick us up
at 8 for dinner.As an aside, all the native boats have outriggers of
bamboo---even large boats. The bigger ones have high curved beams to the
outriggers and so look like a M when approaching. Neat but also sinister and
we call them Vulcan Birds of Prey
