Okinawa to Kagoshima: Leg one Done #Amami #sailing #Japan #Uken #70thbirthday

We completed Leg One of Voyage, Heading to Tokyo for 70th Birthday and Gerontology Conference

First Mate Ian is staying on board and I'm heading to Tokyo for a 70th birthday celebration and to attend a gerontology conference where I'm on the organizing committee. I'm also there to support a keynote speaker who I helped get a book published. Next, I'll be traveling from Kagoshima to Shimane, the only prefecture I haven't been to yet, and I plan to try to visit as many prefectures as possible by boat, on foot, or other means.
