Sailing in Okinawa

ABOARD S/V Knotty Girl (April 17, 2022) — At the boat working on sailing videos for my YouTube channel “Sailing in Okinawa.” I’ve not produced one for quite some time as I was getting frustrated about views and what video creators have to do to actually earn money for their channel. It’s actually a lot of work and I just don’t think my channel has some of the elements that I need to make it super popular. However, I’ve come to terms with that and am now really looking at trying to make more simply a document and “history” of sailing in this part of the world.  I’m just about done with this video and am working on several others. I will probably release them on three week basis to give me some room.  Also ran the engine for about 15 minutes to cycle the water through and also took a 40 minute nap! See you on the seas!

April 15, 2022 -- Added some customer comments to the Sailing Okinawa web site tonight. They can be found at the following link:  https://www.sailingokinawa.com/student-comments . I keep forgetting to update the blog. I hope to do better at this in the future. Got a call tonight from one of the Pyrates of the Ryukyus about helping out one of his customers for sailing. So will probably do a sunset sail again this Sunday. Love living here in Okinawa.  

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.
