Matsuyama to Saeki : 77 nautical miles
08:00 Dearted from Matsuyama
14:00 Saeki Harbor
We were tired very much.
The journey from Matsuyama to cape Satamisaki was truly comfortable.
A Minor 29 DC is able to cruise linearly as if she runs on rails. I took this photo from the Lukia standing on aft deck while auto pilot system automatically steered her. The linearity was an effect of the minor 29DC's single engine and keel. I think it is an big advantage of the Minor 29 for a long cruise.
I selected the route of the east side of Kyusyu for arriving Yakushima.
It was more dangerous than the route of the west side of Kyusyu Island especially in the summer season. But it is very shorter route than the west side, and we could saved time and money.
Saeki port is a very good Harbor, and has been historically famous also.
The Self Defense Force of Japan use this harbor. It's a kind of navy harbor.
We were very tired because of lucking nutrition and wanted to go hotel, but didn't go.
Because we could not moor Lukia at the safety place.

Lukia has no air conditioner, it was hot night and mosquitoes attacked us all the night. We were swung by the waves which were made by some boat after passing us. I miss a hotel.
