Preparing to round Cape Sata and dealing with the Kuroshio Current ( solo sailor )
My next challenge is to round Cape Sata, the southernmost tip of Kyushu. I have to time it carefully with the tides and also deal with the meandering Kuroshio current. Its a waiting game. In the meantime, I am waiting it out in Aburatsu and have been taken care of by Hara san, a remarkable plan who is a Never-too-Later like me. https://www.chukotei.com/member/detail/126.php
