Have you experience stranded in the middle of the sea almost 24 hours during your travel? I think travelers have different experiences when it comes to good and bad. Last summer 2012 we’ve been visited Cebu City the Queen City of the South to spent our summer and have some vacation as well in Portofino beach resort. After few days of relaxing and enjoying the place with a pleasant sight of the beach we decided to go back to Cagayan de Oro by sea trip because that day airlines going back to CDO are fully book that’s why we choose for a sea trip.
To make the story short, at 7 pm the vessel is leaving the queen of the south and after 2 hours the captain give some announcement that the vessel encounter engine problem, as a passenger of this vessel what we can do is to wait for the crew to fix the engine problem. We don’t want to be bored while waiting so we decide to have some slept. Almost 12 midnight I woke up and asking some info to our fellow passengers in the vessel if they already fix the problem and they said not yet…Hollyyy shyt!!!!!!!!!! And when I check at the window, good news I still saw the port of the queen of the south.
Around 5 am, another good news that we heard from the captain of the vessel, this time another engine of the vessel encountered problem..WTF..!!!! When I heard that it pissed me off, but good thing they serve breakfast to the passengers. Around 6 am engine is okay and the captain announce that nothing to worry. This time we hopping that before lunch we will be at Cagayan de Oro after that engine error.
Around 9 am if my memory is good, we are the boundary of Bohol sea and Cebu the captain announce that another problem for the engine..WFT..!!!!Do you think you will enjoy this trip if you always heard the captain announce the engine problem? Of course not, since they serve breakfast and we enjoyed the meal that they served so another slept while waiting for some crew to fix the engine.
Woke up at lunchtime still they did not fix the engine, the captain announced that lunch will be served to everybody. We could not do anything but to get our lunch meal at their canteen, after our lunch I noticed this bird flying and diving at the sea so because of curiosity I bring my camera and checked the bird. This bird is an Albatross bird who is fishing for lunch, so I took pictures with this albatross bird and I really enjoyed the photos that I get. This is my first time to get pictures for the bird that flying around the vessel and hunt for a portion of food for lunch. Around 4 pm we arrived at Cagayan de Oro. J Considering this trip as an adventure because you could not away from us the worry what if the vessel will be sink while we are in the middle of sleep.
