Post “Typhoon” Work

GINOWAN MARINA — 7/3/2022 — Went to inspect the boat. No damage from the alleged typhoon. I took photos of a lot of the manuals in the boat so I can a better grasp of the equipment that is on the boat. 

A few months back I had to change the lines that fill the fuel tank and vent the fuel tank. There was a diesel smell in the boat, the old lines were old and crispy and weren’t fitting properly which was causing a leak whenever the tank was filled.

Noticed water in the locker and it was coming from the manual bilge pump. Looks like that is going to need to be replaced. So I will order that today.

Also studying for ASA 104 — Bareboat Cruising. I will be taking the course in Hawaii in early July. The navigation part is killling me, but I need to do this.

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.
