The Senkaku Islands

The patrol boat "Kunigami" in the offing of the Uotsuri island



I received the medium wave of Japanese radio, as soon as I left Taiwan.
I set the watch for Japan Standard Time.

I can't explain how I felt when Japanese Island "Uotsuri-jima" got into my sight.
At here, I met Japanese patrol boat "Kunigami".
I sent a message to Kunigami after I told that I was in a middle of the world sailing, they made sure if I'm alright and cheered me up.
I was so glad that they gave attention to me.
They must be always good to sailors.
I'm thankful to them for taking care of everyone.
