Boxing Day Typhoon

The ride over to Puerto Galera was great - sunset views and smooth waters, but that changed quickly a couple days later when Typhoon Nock-Ten passed through the Verde Island Passage where Sabang Beach is located.   Our hotel sustained a fair bit of damage due to its native-materials construction, proximity to the coast and vast number of trees on the property that became projectiles when the typhoon winds came through.  We got stuck for an additional day since all boat crossings were cancelled by the coast guard, but were able to make it back to Manila the day after the typhoon.
