Another boat sinks.

News reports are coming in about a boat sinking with 251 people on board off the coast of Quezon. True to form reports vary from 4 bodies recovered to an unconfirmed amount of survivors picked up. 

Having made many crossings from islands on bancas I'm not surprised there has been another sinking as health and safety goes right out the window here. I've had waves coming over the banca and my friend has been on one that caught fire in the middle of the sea between Batangas and Puerto Galera.

In theory once there is a category one warning all sailings should stop. It'll be interesting what comes of this. 

Here's one report I found courtesy of the BBC. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42438607
