great video ^^ i love your videos, and your sailing location, i want visit japan one day, difficult with a sailboat, but who knows ? ^^ you are an inspiration ^^ ( hopefully i have written well in english XD )
I’m in Matsuyama at the moment … will Likely be in Okayama sometime this summer but not sure when. I may do an ‘open boat’ for friends and followers in the area so will be sure to let you know
The dock at Kaminoseki sounds terrific. I can’t believe how inexpensive it is. And great having an onsen just up the road. Is there a limit to how long you can tie up there?
hi. Sorry for the delay in replying. In terms of fishing ports, the standard is they are to be at least 2 meters dockside at low tide. That being said because of silt and other factors you have to be mindful in some ports of shallows. In Marina in my experience it ranges from 3-5 meters
Would you mind sharing where you purchased your yatcht in Japan and how much Yen it went for? If you did it again would you have bought a different boat? Okayama Japan homeowner Ps. You have inspired me to work on my boating license etc.
Hi. THanks for watching and good queston. I bought Wahine in tokyo. I had actually shortlisted four boats and they were in Phuket, Philipinnes, fukuoka and tokyo. In the end I chose Wahine in tokyo because she came with a slip at Yumenoshima Marina which is where i needed to be. Otherwise there was two year waiting list. If you go to konpira consulting and look at boats for sail you will have an idea of who much boats are. My boat is curently on the market for 7.5 million yen. You will see it there too. What kind of boat are you looking for? Sometimes you can pick up boats for free because the owner does not want the hassle any more. But that is a matter of networking and getting to know local sailors.
Thanks for watching Andrew. Yep, audio generally needs to be improved and perhaps I need to try to wear a mic.... most of the time it is is just me and my iphone and imovie for editing.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m not sure how long but I was there 5 days . It varies a lot these kind of places
Hi, great video thank you. I would like to know the water depth at the marinas. Charts seem to be inacurate. Thanks again!

Hi, interesting series.
Could you fix the wind on the microphone issue please, it makes it hard to listen to.

Why did you skip going through Seto inland sea after Kaminoseki?
Actually I hav been sailing the seto inland sea all summer and stayed alot in the Ehime area and Kamishima group of islands. Really enjoying it
@@PacificSolo I’m sorry I thought you didn’t. Please keep having fun.
