Catching up with Friends & SenchooSenchoo is the Japanese word for Captain. Most of the senchoo here fish during the late fall to early spring months and then run dolphin trips in the summer. By this I mean, the dive shops and other tour leaders charter the fishing boats to take them to the water around Mikura Island to swim with dolphins. The senchoo are amazing in how they handle their boats.
Accessing Email Well, I now again have access to email. And I am all rested up ... was not able to sleep at all on the plane. It feels like I never left Miyake ... the sights, the sounds, the sea and the people. I feel very welcome still. I''ll provide more of an update on my days on Miyake tomorrow. I will be on Miyake till Saturday (10 June) and then over to Mikura to resume my studies on the dolphins.
Returning to Japan … and losing a Day I may be posting this note a tad bit late … I’m writing it on the plane to Japan. But the feelings are the same and I am too excited to sleep. I feel like I won the lottery with an upgrade to Business Class! I chose to watch the in-flight movie 'My Dog Skip'. It was very good though bittersweet as I am missing Umi more than I realized I would.
