The typhoon is gone. The wind is just very gentle. Temperature is pleasant during the day and bit cool during the night. All this makes the stay here in Chichi-Jima very comfortable.

This morning (Sunday!!!) I had a non emergency appointment with my doctor. The treatment here is excellent.

Back on MaRe, I had to write a bunch of emails.

Thereafter Shigeo and I left for a walk along the north coast of Chichi-Jima. It’s nice walking here and looking to all the things, which can be seen here. The mountains, on this and the neighbor island “Anijima”, the sea between these islands, the beaches. The well maintained trails and roads. The free internet connection at a rest place at Miya No Hama (“hama” means “beach”); it’s sponsored by the city of Tokyo to which the Ogasawara islands belong.

After being back at MaRe, we got visitors. Natsuki, the doctor who repairs my damaged bum, and Miho, a friend of her and nurse, came by for a look at MaRe, a cup of coffee and lots of interesting talks. Both moved from Tokyo to Chichi-Jima to experience the simple and quiet of Chichi-Jima.

All the things described in this short narration and the many friendly people I met here, make we wanting to stay longer.

But there is my OBM in Tokyo who I like to see again… this makes me wanting to depart.

So, since two days I’m analyzing the upcoming weather window.

As of this morning it seems that 3 out of 4 weather model will display the same wind conditions. The next two days will be important for the go or wait decision.
