Apparently, the water around our beach is full of these big (well, big for me) guys, but the other day, while SUP-ing, I finally saw one for the first time. Gotta say, I was a little freaked out.

The other day, Kaede came with me out on the paddleboard. "Oya" means "parent", and "ko" means "child", so, parent-child paddleboarding.

The ocean around Yuigahama Beach is at its best in fall and spring. Beautiful blue sky, beautiful blue seas.

It's that time of year again! It's actually cool enough to go to the beach and have a play—without burning or getting heatstroke. We're thoroughly enjoying it.
