I got woken up along with many at 6am for the daily prayers and around 7 there was quite a bit of noise for a while from a family near me so I got up after a while. The sun was up when I went upstairs and there were not many people as it was early. I had breakfast and sat for a while reading but it was a fairly bumpy journey. The deck started getting spray from the water which became harder to avoid so I went downstairs and read in the lounge area. There were not many tourists on board and with the weather not so good I had a rest but the people near me were not quiet again so I tried again upstairs for a while and then downstairs until lunch time. I had a pot noodle to complement the small amount of food and again read and caught up on travel planning until around 3 when I had another rest. Around 4.30 it was announced that we were coming to Coron so I went upstairs to get some photos and see the boat dock. The whole unloading and boarding process took a while but at least it meant the boat was steady. A few tourists I'd not seen got off at Coron and some more came on board. I sat upstairs taking photos and the deck filled up mainly with tourists and the boat eventually moved off close to 6pm, a bit late. Sunset was ok and I sat talking to a Dutch couple waiting for dinner but it was late and I didn't want to wait until the end so I got up and queued for a while and around 7.20 I was the first served upstairs. I ate and then went downstairs to shower. When I came back up people had moved around a bit so I sat on my own a while before joining a couple of girls from Essex and a Scottish guy. We played cards a bit and I kept losing, Danni kept winning, Gloria came second and Alex didn't play. I brought up my speaker and we played a but if music and I drunk my rum. Gloria was drinking a wei wei cocktail which had 6 shots of alcohol for 140 pesos. Later other people mostly English joined our table before going to bed around 12. At the end it was Liam an Irishman, an Indian English guy and me, me avoided the creation argument that had gone on before and talked about a friend of the Indian guy who had slept with a Filipino in El Nido and been attacked by her boyfriend. Liam bought me 2 beers and I went to bed drunk around 2am - Sláinte.
