Like a regular Wednesday morning, I got up at around 5:30 am and tried to leave the house quickly. I knew that it was going to be a good day when I noticed that I could see Mt. Fuji. I haven’t seen it for quite some time, so I quickly took this photo.
I knew that the waves probably wouldn’t be very good, but at least it wasn’t raining!
When I arrived at the beach at 6:30, I saw 8 people surfing, 1 surfer carrying a surfboard and 1 smoker / wave watcher. It was a pretty typical weekday at Kashima.
The waves were not amazing, but at least they were surfable – a refreshing change from the past few sessions.
If you look closely, actually not that closely, you can see quite a few fishing boats. I don’t know if it was my imagination or not, but I swear I could smell diesel fumes!
I forgot to mention it in my post about June 18th so I will mention it now. Last week we saw a solitary jellyfish. One jellyfish isn’t much to worry about but I certainly don’t want to experience my first jellyfish sting. When it happens, I’m sure I will be posting of a badly swollen arm or leg!
Here’s a picture showing the lack of progress on the beach houses at Shizunami.
