I often go sailing with my friends on weekends.
The sailboat we use is moored in Yokohama Bayside Marina, one of the largest marinas in Asia.
There is an outlet mall near the bayside, which is designed to look like a harbor town in Nantucket on the east coast of the United States; you can find a lot of brand-name stores and fancy restaurants here.

The crew shows up at 10 a.m., as usual.
A fine and clear day. A westerly breeze of 8 knots.
As soon as we finish a quick check of the rigging, we set sail!

We stop the engine and put up the sails up just outside the port.
The skies are pure blue.
The wind and the waves are singing.
How glorious it is to enjoy the peaceful wonders of nature!

Looking at Yokohama Landmark Tower, the highest tower in Japan, and Bay Bridge, a huge bridge over Yokohama bay, from far out in the bay; they seem so small that it is easy to feel insignificant.

Yokohama: the port city that opens out to the world.
I was born in this city.
I live a peaceful life in this city.
I'm very proud of this city with its great sea.
