Cruising Japan #solosailor #nevertoolate acupuncture treatment
It is my second time visiting Akune, Western Kyushu. This time by boat but 21 years ago by bicycle. I am grateful to Kaminota and his family for their kindness. It was my last stop before realizing a dream . . . sailing into Nagasaki. Nagasaki adventures will be in a future episode but for now, I...
Cruising Kyushu #solosailor #mooring #seastationsinjapan
At my last two ports, I have moored at Sea Stations ( Umi no Eki) and as they were very different in style and cost I thought that some viewers would like to take a tour of each. I have stayed at several Sea Stations in Japan as well as Marinas ( where you pay) and lots of fishing ports where you d...
Are the Jibsheets Worth it? #learningstuff #solosailor #HowToSetItUp
I am learning a myriad of things. Next is setting up genoa traveler. Advice is gratefully received. I have my own ideas but one aspect of setting up the traveler puzzles me. This episode also includes fun times with good people in the last two ports I have visited in Kagoshima, Kyushu: autumn lea...
Glamping in a Boat and rounding Cape Sata! (solo sailor)
While waiting for the right conditions to round Cape Sata, I moved to Calm Lanai Harbor and enjoyed a few days of convenience and to some measure of luxury ( Toilet and bath only 30 seconds from the dock!). Join me for a tour of Calm Lanai Harbor. Then because of the concern of an overnight passage ...
Preparing to round Cape Sata and dealing with the Kuroshio Current ( solo sailor )
My next challenge is to round Cape Sata, the southernmost tip of Kyushu. I have to time it carefully with the tides and also deal with the meandering Kuroshio current. Its a waiting game. In the meantime, I am waiting it out in Aburatsu and have been taken care of by Hara san, a remarkable plan wh...
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 livelihood depends on leaving port. Even a co...
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 may be able to I can inch my way forward ov...
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 the rush to finish the keel and get Wahine ...
Re-uniting a keel and hull is tricky (solo sailor)
Sister ships, Wahine and Distant Dreamer, have keel work projects going on side by side. Wahine, my boat, a Gib Sea 402 is having to redo a repair I did two years ago as well as having the keel bolts inspected. Distant Dreamer, a Columbia 43 and a Transpac winner in her class, had her keel bolts...
Returning to my boat via Japanese quarantine. (solo sailor)
My final few hours in Canada were significant as I had precious moments with my mother and breakfast with long time friend with my good friend Terry with whom I have had adventures on three continents! He wanted to trade me his PING Golf Shirt for a Never Too Late Polo. So we did . . I am back in...
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 protocols to comply but I finally made it to C...
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 needing to inspect the keel bolts to ensure there...
