Very windy/choppy paddle but got to see the USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76) return from Sea Trials. Not as close as I normally get to the CVNs like in the States, but felt like being extra cautions being in a foreign country!

It was tough making it out at first with the long lines of fishing boats heading out into Tokyo Bay, but eventually made it out just in time. Also paddled a bit in the protected harbor after seeing the Reagan come in.

Household goods arrive and got the Chatham out in Japanese waters. Man I've missed this kayak as it's so smooth going through the water. Figured out the parking at Wadanahama Beach and had a nice paddle South into Aburatsubo Bay

Kayaking feels so different in Japan and I definately miss it.

Did one of my classic paddles in Japan, lap around Enoshima Island from Hayama. Felt good to get a long paddle in again.
