Good morning to the World and Kanmon!

It was going to rain and it wouldn’t rain in these days. Just staying here is waste of time and I am researching fine spots nearby for the coming summer.

This is one of my favorite roads I found, about 20min drive from here.

route191-01

Beautiful shore lines will come after driving through this road.

This is the spot we can see the first shore of the drive. It makes us getting excited.

route191-02

Thank you and you have a nice day by sharing excitements.

海外からぞくぞく！/ A lot from foreign countries!

A lot from foreign countries!

Good morning to the World and Kanmon!

There are many drifted wastes on the coast line of Sanin area.

I remember that there were not so many wastes on Pacific coast such as beaches of Chiba, Shizuoka, Aichi, I visited last month, and Miyazaki, I sometimes visit.

So I look the wastes closely and I found

that there are a lot of wastes arrived from foreign countries.

Japanese people tend to blame such countries immediately, but I have a different feeling. I think that wastes from Japan drift to Russia, Alaska, Canada and U.S. by the ocean currents. I saw a TV news that a lot of wastes created by East Japan Big Earthquake are arriving at west coasts of the U.S.

We must think about and work for eliminating plastic waste globally.

Thank you and you have a nice day surrounded by clear ocean and beautiful beaches.

海外からぞくぞく！

世界中に朝が、そして関門にもあさが来ました。
おはようございます。

山陰の海岸に流れ着く漂着ゴミ。よく考えると、、、

先月訪れた千葉・静岡・愛知、時折遊びに行く宮崎など太平洋側の砂浜では漂着ゴミはこれほどではありませんでした。

そんな漂着ゴミをよく見ると、、、

waste01

waste02

海外からのものが少なくありません。

waste04

これを見て短絡的に他国を責める傾向が日本にはありますが、それは少し違うように感じます。海流の影響で日本からの漂流ゴミはロシアや、アラスカ・カナダ・アメリカ方面に流れているからです。東日本大震災の災害ゴミがアメリカ西海岸に流れ着いているというニュースを見たことがあります。きっと一般ゴミも流れ着いているに違いありません。

木材等のゴミはまだしも、やはりプラスチック・ゴミは全世界でなんとかしないといけないと感じます。

それでは、どうぞ綺麗な海・きれいなビーチに囲まれた素敵な一日を！

Hot topic around the world is coming here too!

Good morning to the World and Kanmon!

In the weekend, I go to Sanin area after sending off our guests.

katsunoura02

As north wind was extremely strong, major spots are rough conditions. But I found a new spot by using google map and good shaped powerful waves were coming there.

katsunoura03

In the morning, I surfed one round in like a private beach. I ate BENTO for lunch, watching new surfer getting out against strong waves.

katsunoura04

After I took nap, surfers were increasing but I enjoyed one more round in the afternoon.

katsunoura05 (In Sanin area, girls also surf very well. Junior high school aged girl surfer in the photo)

I made myself whole day at the beach, and both of my body and soul were fully satisfied.

However I found one thing I concern very much.

katsunoura06

The beach was looked pretty, but I found many drifted wastes there. I believed that it used to be beautiful white sand and round rock beach, but I saw many plastic tips along the shore, which is called as “Micro Plastic” recently. The situation made me think about various things.

世界中に朝が、そして関門にもあさが来ました。

週末はゲストをお見送りした後、山陰へ。

katsunoura02

北風が嵐のように強く、主だったポイントはどこも大荒れ状態。グーグル・マップを見ながら、ようやく探し出したポイントには良型のパワフル波が押し寄せていました。

katsunoura03

午前中は貸切状態でワンラウンド。

katsunoura04

自分と入れ替わりで沖に出ようと必死にパドルするサーファーをオカズに昼食をとってお昼寝。寝てる間にいつの間にか人が増えていましたが、気にせず午後のラウンド。

katsunoura05 （山陰では女子もスキルが高いです。画像は中学生ぐらいの女の子のライド。）

海三昧、身も心も満足の週末でした。

ただ気になることがひとつ！

katsunoura06

こちらの海岸、一見すると綺麗なビーチですが、実は漂着ゴミが結構多いのに驚きます。本来は玉石混じり白砂のビーチの砂の上、波の形に押し寄せられていたのは、今話題のマイクロプラスチック、、、考えさせられた瞬間でした。

それでは、どうぞ環境に優しい素敵な一日を！
