Okinose

One of the better kayak tours in Amakusa.  The map was made by overlaying a satellite image with the sea chart, and finally our GPS track on top.


We spent a Sunday introducing this wonderful place to some friends.
休日は何よりも友達と一緒にカヤックを漕いで、無人島に行って、のんびりするのが好きです。


集めた貝の刺身パーティになりました。Today, the lunch menu was various types of shells, along with sandwiches, rice balls and sliced tomatoes.


最近大ヶ瀬で素潜りを楽しんでいる。地図では海中公園と書いてあるが、それはいったいどう言う意味か分からない。週末では各岩に釣り人がいるし、釣り船も多いです。海中公園をこれからもっと保護しないといけないと思います。Recently we have been visiting Ogase, a beautiful set of rocks about a kilometer off the Amakusa coast and ostensibly a protected area. It is sanctuary to sea birds, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and a large variety of subtropical fish and coral. However, the protection only exists on paper: the area is heavily exploited by sport fishermen who, by being willing to pay $60 for a round-trip ticket, create a lucrative niche for opportunistic locals with boats.  Money talks.


大ヶ瀬では水性生物、魚類、珊瑚のバラエティーが多くて幻想的です。






どこよりも色鮮やかだ。
