Sailing Palawan, Day 2

Our second day with Gener on the Tao Philippines jungle tour.
Today we would finish floating down the Babuyan River and trade boats to start sailing out into Honda Bay.
This tour is typically 3d/2n but we paid for an additional night out in the bay, and we are oh-so-glad that we did because it provided us the chance to experience an island to ourselves.

    It's called a "feather star", a crinoid, and I'd never seen one before. It looked so light and delicate, just barely holding on in the current.
    Fairly good visibility here as we come across half a dozen large starfish.
    Since the action is so close to the beach, a lot of it has been damaged by boats and their anchors. And if this place was as busy as Gener says it was, I imagine the throngs of peoples' flippers mucking about didn't help much either. At this time, we were called back for lunch and to depart to the next island.
