Wakayaya Marina Naruto Muroo Port : 64 nautical miles
In summer season, On the off shore of Awaji Island, big wave occur when strong southward wind meet northward current at spring tide. It was that time.
The tide makes rapid current with swirls from Setonaikai to Pacific ocean.
On the Naruto channel, there are many floathing ships for the tourist, you should attend the movement of them.
When we passed there the current reached at 8 knots.
Passing Naruto channel is the first experience for me. As it was more better to follow another ships I thought, I waited to follow another boat who entered into the channel.
I carefully selected the course watching the movement of the boat for a sightseeing.
Sugoi! I thought Setonaikai was looked higher than Pacific ocean. We had to go as if we went up the stairs on the sea.
It was not difficult to control the boat on such a rapid current, it was eerie, because Lukia didn't get speed while accelerating the engine.
There was a big swirl in front of her.
We went to the Shodo Island next.
Many tourist rode on Kayak. We wanted to ride too.
It was windy. I was likely to mistake to hit Lukia to another boat pushed by wind.
There was no room in a hotel near by there, we went to the bed in a boat.
I could supply water to Lukia.
