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...

Sailing the East Coast of Kyushu. (solo sailor)

WHEN ITS TO STRONG TO LEAVE, BUT YOU GO ANY WAY!
Its not quite as bad as it sounds but if we didn't have to leave, we wouldn't have. The wind had been blowing over 20 for the last 4 days, and from the south west, the direction we had to travel in. Today it was still blowing over 20 but had switched around to a true west. Far from ideal b...
