It's my first cruise to Oshima in three years!

The weather had been unstable for a while, but it turned out to be a nice, calm day.

We set off and try raising the sails, but there really isn't enough wind.
We continue to move forward under motor sail.

Let's take Dead Reckoning.
This term suddenly became famous lol

According to the schedule, we will pass the Miura Peninsula at 10:30 and reach Okada Port on Oshima Island around 14:00.

Now, let's move forward.

I'm bored on the bike, so I'm playing with ropework.


Find dolphins




While I was doing that, a slight breeze started to pick up.
Enjoy a little sailing too.


Heading to Oshima in a good mood

All going well!

Just as I was thinking that, as Oshima got closer, the tide started to flow.
The speed drops drastically and we don't move forward at all.



The scenery didn't change for nearly two hours.


Finally, we made it through the tidal zone and arrived at the port around 5:00 p.m.
It was long...

Well, it's getting late, but let's go to the inn and have dinner.

This time we stayed at "Morio's House"

Thank you for your help!

Dinner was at the familiar "Zakoya Kiyomaru"







Thank you for the meal!




On the way back, there was a nice breeze in the morning!


Once we leave, we'll try to put up a sale right away.
We're sailing nicely and achieving 5 knots.

The fog is a little thick


We continued sailing at this speed and before we knew it, we were near Enoshima.



It's fast!
Is the current flowing from Oshima towards Enoshima?

Here, we successfully performed our first jibing on this sailing trip (lol) and headed to Morito Beach.


So, I thoroughly enjoyed sailing and returned home.

Thank you to everyone who participated!
Thank you for your hard work on the long distance sailing!
