Sakaiminato was our last port in Japan. Here we had the best and worst of experiences. Best was from the 3rd service station we tried to organise duty free fuel from. The lady owner went to great efforts for us with
Customs to organise it all. Result was we got 600 litres at a saving of 30yen per litre. She and her husband later treated us to a meal at their home and an overnight stay. The other side of the coin was an encounter with a policewomen. We think she must have thought we were illegal the way she chased us demanding to see our alien cards and passport. passports were on the boat so off we went to get them with a police excort. She had arrange TOP BRASS to come to the boat as well. Of course everything was in order but all in all not a pleasent experience.
We left Japan on a Saturday but winds were not favourable so it was midnite Sunday before we made contact with Korea.
