Depart Okinawa for Yakushima

After a delightful 3 day stay at Ginowan Marina, Okinawa, we departed this morning on a two day sail to Yakushima, hoping to arrive there sometime during the daylight hours on Thursday. As you can see from the above photo we have the symmetrical spi up for the first time. We are dead downwind in about 10 knots of true wind making about 6 knots over the ground. With two hulls no pole is needed and the sym spi sets easily and flies itself, at least in these light winds. Calm and peaceful.
