We finally take a sail in Japan with some friends, while our boat waits for us in California. We wanted to get right into season two, refining our Ingrid 38 sailboat. But we had a few great sailing trips during our time back home in Japan, so we thought it would be fun to share a bit with you all!

Let us know if you are interested in sailing in Japan in the comments! We would love to see some more cruisers in this amazing place. Japan just has so much to offer.

This time we are head to Yuge Island with our great friend and inspiration, Lowell Sheppard. We had heard so much about it, but didn't expect to find such a magical place.

Skip ahead!
