Okinoerabu

Tokunoshima to  Okinoerabu: 29 nautical miles

06:20 Depart from Hiradono port

11:00 Arrived Inobe port.

A little cyclon was developping. The big waves surrounding Amamioshima were around 4 to 6 meters today, but the waves around here Tokunoshima were about  2 meters fortunately. If we would depart one day after, It might be dangerous cruise.

We departed from Tokunoshima to Inobe port in Okinoerabusima at 7:00.

It was only 29 miles journey. However, the waves were over 2 meters with strong wind and rain. It was deadly if we might be careless.
The speed was limited within around 4 to 8 knots. but a semi-displacement type boat like Minor 29 was tough in such case.

Our boat Lukia was waving on the sea for four hours. Our Camera(EOS kiss) on the shelf dropped down to the floor and the prism lens in it was not in the right place unfortunately. That was a hard cruise.

Inobe port.

Inobe port has a new port. We entered into it.
