【Cruising Plan 09-0】 Sailing in Japan Water

日本国内の海をくまなく航海したい。やはり北西季節風が吹き荒れる寒い冬は避けて、2月末から11月にかけての9ヶ月間が良さそう。日本海域を６つの航路に分けて、陸からは中々行きづらい島嶼部を巡ることを念頭に航路を引いてみた。結果、4,370マイル、1日の平均航海距離を30マイルとすると、146日、約5ヶ月の航海となる。3月初旬に大阪淡輪ヨットハーバーを出港して、ゆっくり航海しても12月までには戻って来れそう。この後、６つの航路について詳細に計画を立てようと思う。乞うご期待！

I would like to make sailing around Japan Water. It may be better to sail for 9 months from the end of February to November avoiding north-west strong seasonal wind in extremely cold winter time. Sailing plan in the Japan Water has been made with 6 major routes taking visit of isolated islands into account. As a result, total distance for sailing is 4,370 N miles and it will take 146 days (about 5 months) with 30 N miles sailing a day. It will be possible to complete sailing around the Japan Water departing the Tannowa Yacht Harbor in early March and coming back there by December. To be continued for detail plannings of 6 sailing routes. Don’t miss them!
