At 6:45 a.m, I got up.
According to the weather forecast, it will blow so hard that the sea will
rage.
So our captain said we will sail out earlier than scheduled.
At 7:00, we have breakfast.
I had two bowls of rice, a grilled cut-open and dried horse mackerel, natto
(called
fermented soybeans), cooked hijiki with soybeans, miso soup and oshinko.

After loading our luggage into the courtesy car, we moved to Nomase Port
by our
bike.
It's good weather today, but the wind is strong.
We packed our own bike in a bike bag to load them into the yacht “Aioi” with all
the luggage.
At 8:40 a.m., everyone sailed out from Nomase port with being completely
clad in a
waterproof garment.
When we get out of the port, it's windier than expected and the sea is
very rough.
So, we set the main-sail to one point reef and then the captain steers
the Aioi toward
Mt.Omuro of the Izu highland .

The Aioi got in the offing of Kawana in two and a half hours.
We aim to reach Hatsushima island for lunch from here.
After that, we got information that it would blow hard in this area in
the afternoon.
We give up landing on the island and change the destination to Sunrise
Marina in
Ito just before Teshima island.
At 13:08, we enter the marina .

At 13:10, we returned safely to the marina.
Having finished the operation like unloading our luggage, cleaning our
raincoats
with water to remove salt and so on, we toasted with wine.
We opend our box lunches that were prepared by minsyuku.

We enjoyed the exciting cruising and cycling with many crew members for
3 days
this time too.
By the way, the travel distance of my cycling around Izu-oshima island
is 43.5 Km
according to LatLongLab's data.

At 7:00 a.m., I got up.
Other members in the same room are early risers, aren't they?
I wonder why you can get up early in the morning after you went to bed
last night.
I have breakfast after washing up hastily.
Since I will go cycling all the way around the island after this, I got
a charge of
energy with two bowls of rice.

| Breakfast at the guest house “Yaekawa” (2016.04.30_07:23) |
After breakfast, we change into our own cycling wear and then check up
on
our bike before we leave.
T.A－san's wife, Keiko－san, also decided to challenge cycling all the way
around
the island.
Both T.A－san and K.O－san who enjoy diving will act separetely to us.

On our cycling, we intend to take a short break at the geological section
(commonly called “Baumkuchen” ), lookout platform at Habuminato, Fudeshima
observatory and then have a lunch break at Okata Port.
The route map of our cycling course is shown on the Google map below.
We take the guest house “Yaekawa” as a starting /finishing point and cycle
all
the way around the island in a counterclockwise direction along Oshima
isshu
road .

Soon after that, S.S-san found she has a flat tire.
We realized it’s just because of reduction of air in the tube and so blew
up
the tire hurriedly.

We sometimes run uphill but typically gentle one.
At 09:40, we got to a seeing spot of the island, geological section (commonly
called
Baumkuchen) 6 Km away from starting point and took the first short break
here.
|
|
| Geological section (commonly called Baumkuchen) (2016.04.30_09:38) |
According to information from the Net, the striped pattern of the Baumkuchen
was formed by the accumulation of layers composed of volcanic ash from
the
eruption of Mt. Mihara that occurred about once every 500 years.
And also the number of exposed layers out of them is about 100 layers.

At 10:15 a.m., we got to the lookout platform 13.5 Km far away from starting
point
from which we can look down Habuminato.
As you know well, Habuminate has been known as the place in a novel “Izu
no
Odoriko” by Yasunari Kawabata.
As you'd expect of scenic spot, we can get a nice view of Habuminato from
here.

There was a monument inscribed with a poem of the good old popular song
“Anko

It's said this song took not only Izu-oshima but also Habuminato to fame
throughout
Japan.

We head to Fudeshima as the next resting place from here.
When we are going downhill for a while, we can see the fresh green of the
mountain
range lying ahead of our route.
|
|
| The road toward Fudeshima beach (2016.04.30_10:43) |
At 10:45, we got to Fudeshima beach at the foot of the mountain.
Fudeshima is the name of a rock 38 meters high rising out of the sea near
the shore
having a steep cliff.

When I went up the hill for a little while, members starting earlier than
me
were taking a break on the way.
Two female members said they intend to get a diving group's member take
them
to the pass by car without any strain.
They were in the middle of folding their folding bike.
The following is a picture taken by one of a party of two cyclist taking
a break at the
same place.

| A commemorative picture that was taken on our break (2016.04.30_11:04) |
We continue to go up the steep hill.
I was convinced that there is the pass at the top of the hill.
However, there is the further following hill as soon as we get to the pass.
We experienced it repeatedly.
Anyway, we continuously went up the many hills like the following pictures.
The road gradient of the uphill is 5.3 percent but the slope distance is
5 kilometers
at least.
Every time I got to a pass and took a short break, I took a picture of
the slope.
The following are just a little bit of them.

Zoo.
Well, the downhill is really a paradise for the elderly.
We went downhill without stopping with attention to excessive speed.
At 12:48, we got to Oshima Park Zoo 29.6 Km away from the starting point.
We parked in the bicycle parking area to observe the zoo.

ammotragus lervia living with lemurs in the hill using lava fields.
After that, we enjoy cycling up to Okada Port which is the designated
meeting place
to have lunch at a restraunt.

I had a local Sabakatsu lunch set (a set meal with mackerel cutlets) with
a can
beer.
A bowl of ashitaba (Angelica keiskei) with good aroma was tasty.
After we run uphill from here for a while, we had the moderate slope up to
Motomachi town.
It was about 15:30 when we finished the goal at Minsyuky Yaekawa.
Though we had the steep slope, we were happy that we managed to complete
the full distance around the island covered vividly fresh green leaves
with good
weather.
Now I only get comfortably tired.
As was expected, I got heavily sunburned.

When I visited Izu-oshima on board a yacht “Aioi” on June 2, 2007 before about
9 years, I landed on Habuminato Port.
It looks like visitors to the island are increasing compared with that
time.
I was very surprised to see that the number of those who visit to enjoy
cycling is
especially increasing.
As was expected, it might be due to the effect of reconstruction support
program
currently implemented for Izu-oshima.
Yes, Tokyo Metropolitan Government will provide a￥3,000 subsidy per person per
night to visitors to the Izu-oshima island.
We are also blessed with it.
After taking a bath in a hot spring to wash away the sweat, we have a
kusaya party
with wine before dinner.
As soon as dried fishes “kusaya” that we asked the landlady to prepare
beforehand
were served, a bad smell peculiar to kusaya filled through the house.
Do you know kusaya?
Kusaya is a Japanese-style dried fish and fermented fish.
Markerel scad which is local specialty of the Izu Island chain and other
similar
species are used to produce kusaya.
Kusaya is produced by drying in the sun after being soaked in fermentation
liquor
called “Kusaya liquid” with a characteristic smell and flavor like fish
sauce.

We ate it as a snack of the wine.
It looks like everyone gave up just by having a bite of it.
A strong bad smell might make them do that.
We got the landlady to dispose of these leftover kusaya .
After that, we enjoy dinner.
We had seafood dishes provided by the guest house while chatting about our
memories of cycling and diving we enjoyed.

day－)”
Japanese Diary / No.745－2016.04.30 /
「伊豆大島クルージング&大島一周サイクリング(2/3－第2日目)」
I'm going on a yacht cruise to Izu-oshima island with some crew members
of Aioi
Yacht club for 3 days and 2 nights.
We are scheduled to enjoy cycling around the island for one day out of
3 days.
With consideration for active people, it will be carried out in the first
half of
golden week from April 29 to May 1.
According to the weather forecast, it will be fine for 3 consecutive days.
It looks like we will be able to enjoy comfortable cruising and cycling.
Today is the first day of this cruising.
Contrary to the weather forecast, it looks rain from the morning.
In addition, it's chilly.
So, I left home wearing a thin jacket over my shirt.
I took the JR Tokaido Line train to Atami at Yokohama station as usual.
At 8:45 AM, I had one of our crew members, H.S-san pick me up in front
of Atami
station to go to Sun Rise Marina in Ito.
The number of the crew members is 12 including 2 female ones this time.
S.M-san from Numazu and K.O-san from Nose in Osaka joined in it.
The former is one of our cycling friends and the latter is a friend of
tamma-san.
10 folding bikes for cycling were loaded into the yacht.
I intended to rent a bike locally but borrowed it from Teraki-san with
a kind help
of him.

We hoisted a main sail and a jib sail here to sail.
The temperature on the sea may be 16 to 18 ℃.
I feel cold because the wind is also blowing.
So, I wore a raincoat over my jacket.
After sailing for a while, we toasted with beer or juice in prayer for
our safety
of sailing.
I don't feel like drinking beer because it was too cold to do so.
I would be OK if it were hot wine or hot sake.

Around 14:30, Motomachi, which is main town in Izu-oshima island, became
clearly visible.
We can also see the traces of damage from a landslide , which was caused
by record rainfall due to the typhoon No.26 in Octber 2013, on the mountainside.

Association.
And so we were forced to change AIOI's mooring berth to other one.

Spring near Motomachi port.
It's natural sodium and calsium chloride hot spring.
A strange flower was blooming under the eaves of the hot spring facilities.

However we could see the indescribable mysterious sight spreading off the
coast
of Izu peninzula.

At 18:00, we get started on our drinking party at the guest house.
We first had a toast with beer after everyone gathered around tables at
dining
room.

Our dishes are a little bit luxurious tonight.
They are fishermen's dishes including three large Sashimi Funamori.
It is a dish that placed a lot of sliced raw fish on a boat for sashimi.

I have a florid complexion!
Sunburn or flushing caused by drinking?
Ahortly after 8 o'clock in the afternoon, we broke up the party.
Now, I have no memory of what conversations we had for about 2 hours.
And I remember only that it was a delightful party.
After getting back to our room, we had a after-party.
Everyone looked tired.
They got back to their room by twos and threes to go to bed.
We intend to go cycling around the island tomorrow.
By the way, the course of round voyage and others are shown as Google map
below.
