Arrived on the Victoria docks today and saw that our dock neighbour was from Japan!
We spoke a little bit. He’s leaving tomorrow for American waters :).

@rostiger yea!! it has so many custom bits that make the boat super interesting :) (simple diy lazy jacks, handmade solar panel rack, low spray hood).
That big fabric-covered cylindrical styrofoam fender on deck is very common in Japan fishing harbours.

@rek I didn't know they were called lazy jacks, hah!

@rostiger I used to mix "lazy jacks" up a lot with "jacklines", which is something else entirely :P.
Too many 'jack' things.
