Surprised Sailor! #solosailor #nagasaki #ghostisland

I am heading to Goto Islands and wanted to visit and support a small island community who I had heard were trying to revive the island by attracting tourists to view the coal mines and abandoned buildings were once 8000 people lived from 1959 until 200. This would mean I could do the 50 NM voyage over two days. But, despite good intentions, I was asked to leave. So I had to sail back to Sunset Marina ( about 15 nm) and sail direct to Ukujima the next day where I would encounter more surprises. But that is for another episode. Also in this episode I take a stroll through the boatyard and enjoy a wedding at Sunset Marina.

Somewhere in Japan: Secret Beaches and Charming Harbors #SailingJapan #SecretBeaches #liveaboard
Blue skies. A sparkling coastline. A secret beach for a midday dip. This is sailing in Japan — beautiful, empty, almost untouched. In the Med or Caribbean, this would be crowded with yachts. Here, I counted just two others in the harbor. That’s what ma...
