Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club

Last Saturday, I was invited by events organizer Bernard Supetran to again cover (the first time was last year) the first leg of the Philippine Kayaking Series, the longest running kayaking series in the country, held at Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club in Morong, Bataan.

We left Manila, via a van, by 8:30 AM and reached Anvaya Cove in Morong in Bataan, after a 145-km. drive via NLEX and SCTEX, by 10:30 AM. Upon arrival at Anvaya, we were all welcomed by Gen. Manager Mr. George B. Cadhit. As the 32-km. kayak marathon was still underway, we still had time to explore the facilities of the resort and George gladly toured us around.
