In Chichi-Jima a 34 ft sailboat was moored behind us. It turned out the sailor is a Japanese sailing single handed. Kazuhide Takao is on his way from Shizuoka, not be far and west of Tokyo, to Nauru, a small island just 31 NM north of the equator, and south of the Gilbert and Marshall Islands.<\/p>\n
Via Guam he wants to sail to Pohnpei as his next stop. So I gave him coordinates of my track through the reef into the bay where were at anchor for more than a month. Topped it up with all information about what I thought can be helpful.<\/p>\n
Also in Chichi-Jima we did some things together.<\/p>\n
He left Chichi-Jima just half a day before us to sail S whereas we headed N.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, he suddenly connected back to us.<\/p>\n
Yesterday we moved MaRe into next inner basin of harbor where no swell is felt. It is a very good place f\u00fcr MaRe especially since we can use two moorings to keep MaRe at a distance to the pier.<\/p>\n
Shortly after we were finally moored, a man came by car referring to his friend Takao-san and said that we can have a car free of charge with regards to Takao-san.<\/p>\n
So we have until the 2. May a little car to explore the island.<\/p>\n
