The second day opened with cloudy weather.
But the wind had died down from the day before, giving us perfect conditions for sightseeing along the coastline.
This time we passed Irou-zaki, where we had difficulties with steep waves the day before, easily and headed to Hakachi-saki. Some of the caves here are intricately connected inside but it is impossible to go near when the waves are high.
The width of the narrow caves is less than 2m but it was possible for our WaveRunners to pass through. The lead boat which couldn't pass through waited outside.
After Hakachi-saki we headed toward Sengan-Mon. All the crafts including the lead boat could make it through here. The weather remained gray but we were overwhelmed by the beautiful water and scenery that nature had created. |

After passing Matsuzaki Marina where we stopped for fueling, the water became calm. The lead boat went up to full throttle but it still didn't seem to be fast enough for the WaveRunner crews. |

We had a lunch at Kotoi, the same as the day before.
One of the boats had a slight accident when its anchor rope was caught, but it was solved in about 15 minutes with help of many of the crews.
This is a feeling of security you can get only when touring with a large group.

After arriving at Yamaha Marina Numazu everyone was very busy loading up their craft, changing clothes and cleaning up. The last meeting started at 4:30 in the afternoon and then we all went our separate ways.
We traveled approximately 190km over two days and toured a variety of scenic spots.
We hope to meet again in the future on another tour!
