	Mt Guiting-Guiting in Sibuyan
		The island group is separated to the west by Tablas Strait from Mindoro Is and to the east by Sibuyan Sea from Masbate Is. Separated by the sea, the Romblon group is south of the province of Batangas of the Southern Tagalog Region to which Romblon belongs.
		Very likely, there are daily boat trips to Sibuyan from Romblon due to the proximity of the two islands and the politico-economic importance of Romblon as the provincial capital.
		Without any contact in Sibuyan and anyone to ask about the peak and the island, Dennis, the lead-organizer, faced the daunting task of determining the logistics and itinerary of the expedition.

		A force of four carriers and two converted hermaphrodite "battleship-carriers" was steaming south from Japan toward the Philippine Sea, while a small surface force under Vice-Admiral Kiyohide Shima had sailed from Japanese waters heading for the Sulu Sea.
		The larger force, under Admiral Takeo Kurita, passed north of Palawan (losing three cruisers to submarine attack) to transit the Sibuyan Sea and emerge to the north of Samar.
		The big ships were directed to hold their fire until the enemy was within 20,000 yards to insure as many hits as possible.The sea was smooth and the moonless night intensely dark as the ships steamed slowly to and fro along their assigned lines of position.
