@Giles looks like an ocean worthy Daredevil

Have a great trip and safe travels.

Not sure exactly what the deck is, @Bailey can tell you that. But it is a custom Haraki makeover by Bailey.

@NomadCrow said in ... I’d like to retire somewhere near the Seto Inland Sea.

Me too! Since I came back from Japan some weeks ago we are more and more thinking about buying a house in Japan

In Haneda waiting for flight to Okayama. Magnificent view of Fuji san as we came over Japan, unfortunately the ice crystals on the plane window threw the iPhone focus off, but you all know what it she looks like.

Within 20 minutes of landing here, we both felt uplifted. Being here and interacting with airline/airport staff who actually give a shit is so nice.......

And in Okayama

Our favourite view in Kojima

I prefer the first photo …

A lovely dinner (this was some of the starters...)with Sarina and family.....

And Keat was rather partial to the large pink prawn that I gave him with a box full of other mixed lures (Mia plays with the squidgy 3d stickers Paula send her).....

@Giles

Will you have chance to wet a line while over there then Giles?
