One of my most memorable days in the Philippines took place in the middle of the South China Sea on a boiling hot day. My brother and I were in a fishing boat that he had hired and our boys were fishing with hand lines when all of a sudden he announced that the waters were infested with pirates!It was from that point on that I couldn't wait to get back ashore ......
and I lost my shoe in the scramble to get off once we'd arrived in shallow water. Never again!!
