Dinner with World Cruisers

-


 Had dinner with the crew of S/Y Irene from Seattle who are on their second circumnavigation and cruising through Japan.

Peter and Ginger are really nice and had a fun night with food and drinks as we talked about a variety of topics.

I originally “met” them after they posted a photo in the Facebook group, “Sailing in Japan” when they posted a photo of their boat saying they had arrived at Yonabaru Marina. Told them I’d like to meet and they said they were headed to Zamami Island. 

Fortunately I was also going to Zamami and we met there. Even rafted next to their 50-foot Ketch in the Zamami Harbor. 

Great folks.

Monday they are heading north to mainland Japan and eventually back to their home port of Seattle.

Fair winds and following seas, Peter and Ginger.

EAST CHINA SEA (April 13, 2021) — YouTubers — S/V Shinki Itten — joined the crew of S/V Knotty Girl for a two-hour sunset cruise. Captain Vincent of S/V Taihei also joined for the trip. The Shinki Itten crew — James and Ayano — is visiting Okinawa for the first time so Capt. J wanted to make the trip up the coast fun with a few extra hands. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. This was also Capt. Vincent’s first sail aboard S/V Knotty Girl, a 1996 Okazaki-made 34-foot cruiser.

ABOARD S/V KNOTTY GIRL (APRIL 9, 2022) -- DJ Skeezy and DJ Em returned to Okinawa recently for a family vacation and finally got the chance to take a sunset cruise aboard my boat. They brought their two-year-old son along and crew member Dan also joined us for the ride.  I originally met DJ Skeezy when I was playing gigs on ukulele at the old Pour House adjacent to Alaha Park. He moved off of Okinawa a few years ago but we've remained friends on Facebook. So, when he returned I wanted to show he what's he's been missing in Okinawa. Afterward we had a party on the boat and got to view a nearly perfect sunset.
