Sailing to Oshima, Japan: Home of Godzilla! travel vlog

Day two of my 8-day cruise, we left Misaki and were gone with the wind, reaching a milestone in my sailing journey: Oshima Island! The cruise was amazing, and we sailed most of the way with a wing on wing configuration. Located off the coast of Japan, Oshima is the gateway to the Pacific Ocean. This will be a benchmark on my journey when I set off to sail across the Pacific by myself on SV Wahine. The island is home to Godzilla, was featured in Koji Suzuki's "The Ring," and appears in various anime -- including the Pokemon franchise. The volcanic island had major eruptions in 1965 and 1986, and last erupted in 1990. Please enjoy this episode, and stay tuned for the next episode, where we continue on our trip in deep water off the coast of Japan.
