Hello, RPV.
It was the end of last month, but I went windsurfing for the first time in a long time.
I was also heavy-handed, as my follow-up health checkup indicated that I was not getting enough exercise.
The location is Eguchi Beach in the northwestern part of Kagoshima Prefecture.

It took us about 3 hours from Kumamoto City. It has been about a year since I have been sailing here~(^^;);

The day was marked by a weak winter pressure pattern, with a moderate northwesterly monsoon already in the air,

A few local sailors are getting together to change into wetsuits and prepare to sail.

I forgot my digital camera, so these images are from my smartphone.

You're alive, aren't you?" I was teased or encouraged by the local sailors,

With words of encouragement, I too set sail.

It had been a long time since I had been in the water, so I was nervous that I would not be able to ride well, but I managed to enjoy the ride.

But I still can't deny that I don't get enough exercise on a daily basis!

My whole body was on fire after the first round trip, but I managed to get it under control and sailed well enough.

It had been a while since I had surfed, so I decided to take it easy on the offshore gliding and sailing.

And so the local sailors gathered one after another.

I seem to be the only one from outside the prefecture this time.

I was surprised to learn that one of the local sailors was 75 years old.

Well, this hobby is aging, but we can't lose.;

The elderly driver sign on the back door of the car is quite austere.

So the windsurfing season is in full swing.

Reconstruction after the Kumamoto earthquake has progressed well, and this year, we will do our best to

I would like to revive ocean going for the sake of my health!

It is also famous for its beautiful sunsets.

I hope to introduce some local delicacies in my next issue.

See you soon.

 

 

 

 

 

So, the other day, I went to Amakusa to go "sea bream fishing" (^^;).;

Hello, RPV here. It's been a while since I had a fishing story. What a surprise, this time we went offshore fishing in the daytime on a boat.

I usually fish for small fish such as horse mackerels at night on the bank, so "sea bream fishing" is a pretty big catch for me, so I was very nervous! I was so nervous!

Recently, I have only been to the bank fishing once for some reason in the past year (>_<).

I was invited by a senior student to go fishing on his boat. When we arrived at the marina, the boat had already been lowered into the water. I really envied him for owning a boat like this!

The day is sunny and the temperature is just right. The wind is a little strong - or is it?

The vessel is equipped with GPS, radar, and a fish finder. The latest fish finders can not only detect fish, but also measure their size. I was surprised at the performance of these detectors. It would be even better if it could also display the species and number of fish (^^;);

On the way, we pass the point where the tides collide. The sea surface was quite rough. The tides here in the Ariake Sea ebb and flow so much that when the tides move greatly, the tides from many directions collide with each other and the sea surface becomes rough. Does this mean that it is a good feeding ground for fish?

And so we arrive off the coast of Gowa.

I used the same gears as my senpai had taught me (although they belonged to my senpai), and as soon as I started the rod, I got a hit.

At first I wondered if it was rooted? I thought so, but a strong pull bent the rod and made it tremble.

As I reeled up the reel, nervous that I might be caught, a beautiful pink-colored fish emerged from the reel. Oh, wow! As I was getting nervous at how fast the fishing was going, my senpai helped me to scoop it up with a ball net. The sea bream that came up was about 1 kg in size. I said to myself, ’This is a good start! I kept on swinging the rod, and in the next three hours, I caught sea bream weighing 0.8 to 1.5 kg!

He said he usually catches more snapper, but today's fishing was not so good, and the snapper fishing season is from now until February. But if you catch a snapper this size on the bank, you are a hero!From my point of view, today is a big day and a big catch.(^^;

What kind of fishing do senpai usually do? I headed home with a simple question in my mind: "What kind of fishing do seniors usually do?

The sea bream from Hayasaki Seto, located between Shimabara Peninsula and Amakusa Shimojima, has a reputation for being very delicious because of its beautiful color and fast currents.

On the way back home, after the nerve clamping, it is further tightened with ice water.To cooler by way of storage (>_<)

They say that if they do this, they will not become rigid for a while.

On the way back, we enjoyed cruising with a leisurely petit sightseeing tour.

This is the lava dome of Mount Unzen Fugendake.

Holy shit, I watched Amakusa Dolphin Watching!

Yushima, also known as Trapezoid Island because of its shape. This area is also a good point for fishing.

The red bridge is Matsushima Bridge (Amakusa No. 5 Bridge).

Well, the view is great by the way, and cruising on a boat in this season is great!

Maejima Bridge (Amakusa No. 4 Bridge).

Pass under the Maejima Bridge. You will see Rizo Terrace Amakusa on the far right.

Pass by the Waku Waku Underwater Aquarium Sea Donuts at the back of Rizo Terrace.

So the fun "Big Furoshiki Snapper Fishing & Cruising" ended successfully.

My seniors were not satisfied with their catch, but I was very happy.

My senpai told me that I should eat sashimi tonight, so I hurriedly made sashimi on the day of the event.

The meat was soft, and in collaboration with the wasabi I bought in Izu, it became the best sashimi I have ever tasted.

Let the seniors take you back there (^^;);

See you later.
