Amasans on the job

Everyone woke up finally and we headed to katsuura fish auction. Lots of tuna were being sold.

We headed to the harbor and saw some men amasans suiting up. They did not have room but said to check the other boats.

Then we see her, the amasan from our last trip, she is on her way out to dive as Kimura san asks if we can join them but we were unable to get on their boat because they were working.

We were lucky to hook up with a local diver akito-san who offered to take us diving. We suited up and went out to his favorite spots. A really good diver and we were diving dropping to 40-60 ft at times.

He got a nice grouper and Thai snapper and Kirby got a knife jaw. 

After lunch we headed back to wakayama and made a brief stop at this natural onsen where we visited before. So beautiful.

Of course we had to also make a stop for soft cream. 5 hours later we are back in wakayama, and tomorrow we head for shikoku for another long road trip in search of more amasans.
