We left Otaru at 0300am for our overnight sail to the northern tip of Hokkaido. We had a beautiful sunrise coming alongside Rishi Island. Wakkanai is our last port in Japan, from here we will check out of the country and sail to Attu. We enjoyed the onsen here and had a couple of meals out, even did some karaoke with friends. I did my final shopping and final washing of clothes. No more shops, or laundry until Dutch Harbor and/or Kodiak island which will be 5 to 6 weeks from when we depart Wakkanai.
