The Philippines. A boat with a bright yellow Vinta (sail) and a group of divers sets sail from a beach on Santa Cruz vinta, together with pearl divers, and the Badjao boat dwellers, form the romance of the Sulu seas. The vinta's colorful sail decorates many a picture of southern Philippine sunset calling to the joys of riding big waves. Actually, the vinta is not safe for long ocean travel. It is a very small and unsteady sailboat, used only for short trips on days with normal breezes.
