Arriving on the beach at Boracay, riding in a "pump boat," a rather large, outrigger canoe fitted with a small engine for propulsion, said to get its name from the use of small engines formerly used to power water pumps.
After our arrival, we circumnavigated Boracay — captain and crew of our pump boat.
Rainbow at Puka Shell Beach.
Beyond the rainbow are mountains on the mainland of Aklan. Caticlan, our point of embarkation, is to the right (not visible in this picture).
