Race Day at Kochi Yacht Club ( Yacht Race Sailing Solo)

Just before I left Kochi, I was invited to be guest crew on Dawn, a Beneteau 35. for a Kochi Yacht Club Race. Also, a highlight of the day was to have lunch in the Port from which John Manjiro set off on his fateful fishing trip. His life affected the relationship between Japan and the USA.
