Why did this Couple avoid anchoring while Cruising Japan! #cruisingjapan #japantravel #traveltips
Amidst the haul-out work on my sailboat Wahine, I caught up with Scott and Mia of SV Tengah, a stunning 54ft Amel. These seasoned sailors arrived in Japan six months ago after an epic journey from the Mediterranean through the South Pacific and, most recently, the Philippines. Every cruiser who comes to Japan asks about anchoring. So this is a hot topic. the two reasons Scott and Mia give for not anchoring are
1. it`s dangerous cuz fishermen are not accustomed to seeing pleasure or small vessels at anchor
2. The `magic of japan` happens at the dockside where you interact with others. Then, they elaborate on other tips, too. Good stuff.
Our paths first crossed in Okinawa, where we spent a few weeks at the marina before sailing to the breathtaking Kerama Islands. Over the past six months, I’ve followed their voyage across Japan as they experienced the incredible food, the warm hospitality of the Japanese people, and the unique challenges of cruising in these waters.
As they prepare Tengah for their next passage back to the Philippines and I ready Wahine for Chasing the Cherry Blossom 2, we reflect on their journey. Scott and Mia share valuable tips for anyone considering sailing to Japan or curious about what to expect. Their insights may surprise you! Video is about Tengah
