BEPP , KYUSHU ISLA D WHEN THE SHIP ENTERED BEPPU HAR- BOR THE CREW EXPECTED AN EXPENSIVE, BORING, AND UNEVENTEUL PORT VISIT. WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE FROM WRONC.. THE LITTLE CITY OE BEPPU OEEERED THE MOST HOSPITABLE AND WARNIEST RECEPTION OE ANY OF OUR WESTPAC PORTS. THE CREW WAS TOTALLY OVER- WHELMED WITH THE ATTITUDE HERE, THE WHOLE CITY WAS EASCINATED WITH THESE DIFFERENT LOOKING, IOVIAL ROUNDEYES OF THE LOU, AS WE RECEIVED sooo VISITORS IN TWO DAYS. THE CREW IN RETURN REFURBISHED THE LOCAL ORPHANACE, AND PARTICIPATED IN LOCAL TELEVISION MEDIA. IT WAS DIEEUCULT LEAVINO, BUT OUR NEXT STOP WAS YOROSURA WHICH PROVED TO BE JUST AS ENIOYABLE, AT LEAST TO THIS WRITER ' 7 'fi I L, A 'T-E4 'L it ' A , M AJ Q, Fr E lui.: A i :AdAYt qv, 'U-I E E af Q T424 4. -E, 1.

I ZZUZZLZFJZ ALL TOLD, THE LOU ONLY SPENT A TOTAL OF ABOUT 2.5 WEEKS IN RELAX- ING SUBIC BAY, BUT AFTER THOSE TWO WEEKS, THE CREW FOUND IT NECESSARY, TO GET BACK ABOARD TO CATCH UP ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS LOST SLEEP. THE MANY EXCLUSIVE CLUBS AND SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS PROVIDED US WITH AN EXCELLENT BACKGROUND INTO THE LOCAL CUSTOMS. OCCASIONALLY A LEISURELY TRIP TO SUBIC CITY WAS AN EXCELLENT STUDY ON THE WILDLIFE THAT INHABITS THE ISLANDS. THE PHILIPPINE PEOPLE PROVED TO BE VERY CORDIAL AND INTERESTED IN THE AMERICAN NAVY, OFTEN INVITINC. US INTO THEIR HOMES TO ENIOY THEIR HOSPITALITY. THE P.I. ISLANDS ARE ALWAYS AN AWAITED PLEASURE ON WESTPAC, AND WE THE CREW OF THE LOU, DO OUR BEST TO ENIOY IT.
