To go or not to go?! ( solo sailor )

The local experienced sailors are advising me not to attempt the passage this week due to the weather. I may be able to I can inch my way forward over the next 48 hours and then wait it out. An app called Predictwind and local advice is really important to me at the moment.

Meanwhile, I am enjoying Miyazaki and making meeting wonderful and interesting people.

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...
