This is no April Fools Joke. A decision has been made.

I had no idea when I bought a sailboat I would have to contend with so many rules and regulations. I believed I could just sail off into the sunset. But no. So this has been an education of how to navigate the Marine rules of Japan.
Also, I have learned a lot about the boat and myself for the first part of this shakedown cruise. So far I have completed 239 Nautical Miles ( 442 km) solo and have become woefully aware that I need a working autohelm and AIS in order to sleep on windless nights. All this has caused me to reconsider my timings and plans.
I am learning to live with uncertainty in terms of timings, plans, and tactics while remaining sure of the goal.
If you prefer to read, please go to my blog where I outline my decision and plans, and issues to face.
