RIP HMS Bounty

It's a sad day for many in Northeastern North America.
One of the sad incidents was the loss of the tall ship HMS Bounty, which was built in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1962.
I had a relative sail on the voyage to Tahiti and my stepmother had relatives who built the ship and sailed on it to Tahiti.
At least she went down on a voyage, rather then be broken up, or rotting at the dockside.

Sailing with Yoshida!

Today my good friend and co-worker, Yoshida-sensei took my family and I for a sail on Tokyo Bay outside Yokohama. It was an excellent day!
