It is early morning, and I am alone in Cats Inn, Chatan, Okinawa. The terrasse overlooks the sea which is calm; across the bay is the American Village - and a large American Air Base is just beyond the bend.
The typhoons which we felt in Kyushu has also been ravaging Okinawa - but now the sun is shining :-)
Frederic was picked up a while ago by Doug from Reef Encounters, where he will take a diving license during the next three days. I wish I had planned to go along - but he appreciates adventures on his own. This is important.

We arrived in Okinawa from Fukuoka yesterday afternoon. The guidebook was right: the island is crowded - and we will soon move on to the smaller islands further south - eventually reaching Hateruma-Jima which is Japan´s southernmost point. Our goal!
