After weeks of preparations and training, our kids and young people won't sleep tonight. Tomorrow is their most important day of the year.
If you do not yet have a ferry ticket or a reservation in a resort, you may still come to Camiguin.
The PARAS SEA CAT offers a promotional fare during the Lanzones Festival and the most friendly folks of Camiguin will find a bed for you for some pesos.
Weather is fair to good. The approaching typhoon Lupit(Ramil) works as a vacuum cleaner an brings us fresh air and slurps away the clouds.

( 2.5 / 6 )Sorry, our 05:00pm update got lost.
Typhoon Lupit(Ramil) now shows a clean eye of some 20km diameter.
During the last hours the typhoon slightly intensified from 959 to 952 hPa. It slowly - 13 km/h (07 kts) - moves north on the predicted track.
If the high pressure zone over China persists, Typhoon Lupit(Ramil) may even move further north and will not hit the Philippines.

European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts
The ECMWF global atmospheric model is at this moment the best available model.

Typhoon Lupit(Ramil) is following a similar track as Parma (Pepeng). While the latest forecasts preview a landfall next week in extreme North Luzon, the increasing high pressure over Taiwan may push Typhoon Lupit(Ramil) more south.
Next update tomorrow morning.

This morning, when the Super Shuttle Ferry sailed from Camiguin to Bohol, the sight was spectacular. The sea near our shore showed small waves, but outside the water was fla as a mirror.
The color of sea and sky were very similar. So, one could get the impression as if the Super Shuttle Ferry flew over the fishermen's boats.

( 1 / 2 )Camiguin is already fully caught by the Lanzones fever.
The streets and roads get cleaned and decorated. The kids and young people are repeating their dances after school. And the sponsors of the festival got their sponsor's flag.
