The Beauty of Catamaran Sailing

Good Times Sailing

with Food, Wine and Friends.

It's blowing 10m/s hence a reefed jib and mainsail.

Still doing 8 knots and Fu Kyo is not heeling at all.

That's Shikanoshima, at Hakata Bay.

An other nice sunset as seen from the deck of Fu Kyo.

Fu Kyo is looking for crew.

Fu Kyo is looking for crew (1).

If you like to go a for Sail on the Bay

and are happy to share a hand,

 hoist a sail and help the customers....

please let me know.

As you can understand,

 this is not a regular job,

doesn't have regular hours and

doesn't get paid the regular salary

(but we do pay some).

Experience isn't needed: training while we are sailing.

But: Luff for the Sea is a must.

How many crew doesn't NIPPON MARU need to go for Sail?

And there is.....

Fu Kyo the Cat.

The days are getting longer ....

Yes indeed, the days are getting longer.

These days, this is the Sunset what we see 

from Fu Kyo at Meinohama Port.

Accross the pond is Marinoa Outlet Shopping Mall.

Fu Kyo went for a her yearly haul-out.

Fu Kyo went for her yearly haul-out.

Hmm, January/February...not the best of times for

sunny and warm cleaning and painting days...

But it's also the quiet period regarding bookings.

Here comes the trailer...

It's so huge...

Not too bad, the last time was more than 1 year ago. 

Just a few barnacles.

Also happy to see that the propellers are pretty clean.

 The Cleaning Party can Start...

Where is everybody...?

High and Dry on this grey Day.

She is so big...

It takes a lot of time to go around cleaning her...

Below the waterline the cleaning is done;

Ready to paint.

Propellers with a new coat of Prop Paint,

 and a new zinc block to the drive.

....looking good neh...

The paint fumes while painting kept me "smiling" for a few hours.

1 can of undercoat and 

4 cans of anti-fouling paint.

( remember Yap, next time you like to use 5  cans).

Fu Kyo looks sooo happy 

with her clean belly and hulls...

And of course being back at Meinohama Port 

is all that counts.

Ready and Happy to Sail You.
