12:50 Omaezaki Harbor to fuel
18:30 Toba
19:00 Mooring finished

I couldn't discriminate preciously between the lights of ship, lighthouse, buoys, factory lights and so on. Departure in the dark is less effective than under sun.
 

0515 Ahika Island

10:00 Shimoda

I put the reserved fuel into the main tank while cruising on the sea for my practice. It was OK.

1015 Irozaki

It was was a very nice day and I had a good view. 
There was a shark swimming by my boat. 

11:30　Suruga Bay

12:30　Cape Omaezaki

I approached to the quay of Omaezaki slowly while watching GPS. The shallow sea spead out near the light house.

In Omaezaki harbor, a tank car was waiting for us. We get 250L.

Ensyunada : It was dead calm, but this is a difficult ocean when windy.

It was foggy day and I had a view within 3000 meters circle range. But there is no problem to continue long cruise but boring. The radar caught ships sometimes although we could not see it. This radar is a small one but effective.

There were many wood drifting on the sea because of rainy season. The big one has diameter 30 cm, length 2 meters. We had to take attention for them.

18:40 Toba Grand Hotel


Toba Grand Hotel has a pontoon. It is the reason for our choice of the Hotel.
