100 Nautical Miles 海里 in 24 hours UPDATE

先ずは津波の心配がありましたが、“2月28日23時36分、気象庁が津波警報を解除したことに伴い、三角港、熊本港、水俣港、八代港に避難勧告を解除します。”

First of all, for all those concerned about the tsunami predictions in Japan, officially on February 28 at 23:46 the tsunami warnings were cancelled.

今夜の6時ごろ応援団は三角の灯台の近くに行った。
Around 6pm a small cheering squad greeted Rik as he passed through the narrow strait 46km into the trip.

Here is the happy guy as he avoids a slight head current by hugging the shore in the glass-calm Misumi Strait at sunset.
三角瀬戸で流れに逆らって漕議続く。

Currently(2:25am)at the Shikizaki-Misaki light house, the wind was recorded as 4m/s from the south. As Rik is just about to pass the south point of his route, it looks like he will be cruising on a tail wind soon! Now he will just have to battle against the lack of sleep, tired muscles and the monotony of pushing the paddle through the water one painful stroke after another. Follow Rik at SPOT.

四季咲き岬灯台にて現在(午前2:25)4mの南風を観測しました。リックはコースの最南端を乗り越る所で、まもなく北へ向けて、天草の西海岸を上がる予定。まだまだ予想より30分ぐらい早いです。今から疲れと寝不足で頭がぼんやりする気分を乗り越えないといけない。現在位置を知りたいならSPOTでご覧ください。
