In trying to be cheerier, I set about cleaning the floorboards and the bilge, while managing the leak which we have slowed to 4 drips per minute. ( about a table spoon a minute). But to move on from a temporary fix I need to resolve three issues 1. Findi...

Sailing to Nagasaki PART ONE #gunkanjima #sailingjapan #007

New Volcano Eruption Threatens My Sailing (single handed sailing)
Well, this was unexpected. Strings and patches of pumice from the eruption in the Ogasawara Islands ( where a new island has been forming since August) have reached Amami Oshima and clogging up some of the harbors. I feel bad for the fisherman whose liv...
To go or not to go?! ( solo sailor )
Actually, the real question is `When to go?` My margin for getting to Amami Oshima ( an Island towards Okinawa from mainland Kyushu) is evaporating. The local experienced sailors are advising me not to attempt the passage this week due to the weather. I...
Sailing the East Coast of Kyushu. (solo sailor)
I have been sailing south off the coast of East Kyushu with the goal of reaching Amami Oshima by late October. The sailing has been gentle but navigating tidal currents and the resultant turbulence through narrow passages has kept me attentive. That with...

Reunited with my Mom after 2 years *Emotional* (solo sailor)
I was gutted when I could not set sail after my JCI inspection on August 26th because of a potential Keel problem. But at the very same time, Canada lifted its quarantine rules for returning Canadians who are fully vaccinated. Still, there are lots of pr...
Damaged by a Lightning Strike! Now What? (solo sailing set back)
Finally, inspection day arrived, but in doing routine maintenance, while Wahine is out of the water, I discovered a two-year-old repair needed to be done again, and then one thing led to another. It seems that a lightning strike is to blame and I am needi...

Summer Fun: Usually I am ON the water not IN it! haha! (solo sailor)
I`m having summer fun while waiting for my boat to be inspected. Part of that fun is being in the water rather than ON the water. Also, I have been looking to the sky to increase my understanding of clouds and what they convey to a sailor. On my way to ...
Typhoon # 9. This is not a drill. (solo sailing oita japan )
It looked like Typhoon # 9 would be a direct hit. So after a quick dash across Kyushu to visit Kumamoto City and have lunch with friends, I returned to Wahine to prepare her. Also, I decided to have a 5th covid test. I was in for a surprise! If like me...
