Kuchinoshima 口之島


To follow our progress throughout the expedition, go to our SHARED page on SPOT. 遠征の間現在位置を知りたいならSPOTスポットSHAREDページに見てください。

Hello from Kuchinoshima, the last of the Tokaras. We are taking a break here for a day, as the winds are not particularly favorable and we have a long, difficult traverse ahead of us. We are at the school briefly checking the Internet. Surprisingly there is a pretty good store here so we were able to stock up on food as our supplies were running a bit low. We'll probably go swimming and snorkeling later, or on a short excursion around this very scenic island.

口之島からこんにちは。学校でネットの天気チェックとアップデートしています。今日は不都合な北東風で屋久島やクチエラブ島までの長くて難しい横断前一日休みます。運がよくて、適当に車を一日3,000円で借りて、島のあちこちまで行けた。島の集落にびっくりほどのいい店があって、食べ物なども普通に買う事ができた。村の真ん中綺麗な「里の川」と言う湧き水まであって、水の不足も全然ない。住みやすい島でしょう。今は又暑くなって、このあと恐らく素潜りに行こうかなあ。

  • Leanne and Rik,

    Enjoying reading about your trip. I hope you didn't have any rough seas after the earthquake in iriomote islands a few days ago. Note: my email, address and phone have changed as we have moved to belleville. I'll send you an email with our new coordinates.

    safe travels, Gord

    Lubo, your big bro is growing white hairs in his beard, must be his age. Thanks for the b-day wishes, I think Rik had a memorable birthday.
