| Today four of us took the 11 o'clock cruise around the 99 islands. Actually there are 218 islands but 99 is the Japanese way of saying a big number of islands. Our ship was called the Pearl Queen. A womanly figure adorns the bow wearing long hair and holding what appears to be a bowling ball but might represent a very large pearl. |
 |
| The cruise is about an hour long. The boat holds 200 people. Some of the islands had fishing nets strewn about. One island harvests pearls from oysters. All these islands are part of a national park. Two islands have people living on them. |
 |
| Sometimes the boat had to slow down to avoid the rocks under the water. Wind and weather have worn down the vegetation and topsoil. |
 |
| The weather was fine but we got cold standing outside in the wind. |
 |
We had a nice day for a cruise.
