Colorful tourists include a few dogs on Ogasawara Maru ship

おしゃれな日本の観光客が多いです。小笠原丸に乗っていた犬もリボンを着けています。

 

I love how well dressed Japanese tourists are. Even the dog is wearing a bow.

Unfortunately, on both the outbound and return ship, the weather was too rough for the early morning captain’s tour. We’ll have to go another time to catch the tour.

Rough seas with no land in sight

外洋にいることは、不思議な気持ちです。人によって、船の旅はきびしそうです。

It’s a strange feeling to be in the open sea. In my opinion, only 4 or 5 hours were truly difficult out of the 50 hour round trip voyage. Others have different experiences, even on the same boat.

Grape vine climbs three stories from sidewalk to roof deck

歩道の小さいスペースから、ブドウが三階を登っています。つる植物とこの家は同じ年齢でしょうか。

I wonder if this grape vine is as old as the house. It appears to be growing out of the tiniest opening between the house and the street.
