Updated Note: This video was made when I left Tokyo Port for good in March 2021 and is the first episode of Season 3 of this Channel
A lot happened during the last few weeks and I finally had my first sea trial.
I learned a lot including what changes I need to make on the boat before I proceed further.
I am safe and in good spirits working my boat in Mie Prefecture. Oh and YT asks me if there is paid promotion in this video . . technically there isn`t because my sponsors who are also my friends are supporting my journey and the costs related to it and not necessarily for a profile in return. But as I mention those who sponsor me I have clicked that box.
