Subject: Fukuoka

In Nagasaki our visit to the Atom Bomb Museum was on Memorial Day. A piece
of irony that I Just realized. We left at 445am and sunrise was 45 min
later. The Eagles were up and out before us. A magic sunrise departing the
harbor. We had 109 nm to go before dark and lots to see on the way. Typical
Jap haze gave way to serious fog and most of our sight seeing was by radar.
But we got to Fukuoka and the Odo marina Just before dark. 33 35n 130 18e. A
wonderful tourist town but we are on the outskirts and its late. Huge ferris
wheels loom beyond the park where we are at. We walked into the high price
car district where Lamborghinis and Aston Martins are sold and kept on
walking. Found a restaurant where the very cute girls where mostly concerned
that we would not be happy with our orders. But we were able to
communicate---you bring it and we will pay for it. A super night and tomorrow
we penetrate the inland sea
