| 130° 17' 607 E Fishy? Well, fish smoking !! it is. Due to the season there is not much Katsuo= bonito fishing activity, but the cool houses are loaded. Half the town consist of fish smoking factories, so that bizz goes on as usual. And can be smelled for miles. Once smoked it is then shaved to very thin slivers for all sort of Japanese food toppings. Even PIZZA gets some. The trip from Yaku Shima to here was NICE. We left the harbor just before sunset. The moon was up already, 95% full. No cloud in the sky and we had a great sail across. Of course there were the odd BIG containerships we had to avoid, ( Tokyo/Osaka~Hong Kong/SIngapore route), but with the perfect visibility all went well. There were enough hours in the night, so the little wind we had from behind gave us a perfect timing for the landfall. Alishan will stay in this port a few days, until we ourselves get smoked out. It is still HOT, but the sea temperature!! is a few degrees down. And we found a nice Sento=public bath house. Wow, it's so good to soak in such a bath. Salute |
