internet's back w/a break in the rain (updated 3/3/2008)
Feb. 27, 2008: Bantayan Island, Philippines - shot during the storms, the Floating Bar drifts in the distance.
Olympus E-1, Olympus Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital: 1/1000s f/5.6 at 54.0mm iso100
My good friend Heinrick from Sweden who owns The Floating Bar on Bantayan Island photographed above in a rain storm, still managed to have customers there - and with good reason.
Aside from cold beer etc. his staff cooks great food there too (great breakfasts, burgers, burritos etc.) and I'd like to thank him for his warm hospitality; he's always been very good to me.
I've never been into beer, but I love getting a meal there when I can.
Internet's been very spotty here during the recent weather, and there's been a run on candles during the brownout, but I've got 3 SureFire flashlights with me with plenty of CR123 lithium batteries, so I've had plenty of light.
I use their LED lights every night here in Philippines, and absolutely recommend them for all travelers, as they're the brightest, most reliable & strongest things going, with very long run times.
Being weather sealed for harsh environments, my SureFires are my constant companions here.
...a few nights ago during the storms I was talking to 2 British guests here on Bantayan - one of whom was British Navy RET and a competition shooter who also uses SF weapons lights; his buddy was amazed at the light my LED's put out, and asked me for their website URL, then asked "...so how long have you worked for SureFire?"
We had a good laugh; I don't work for them - but I swear by them every day here in good weather & bad.
