Japan, day 10 (September 12): Sea of Japan

Swimming in the Sea of Japan.

We spent this entire day at sea, transiting the Sea of Japan to the east-northeast across blissfully calm seas.  Indeed, the weather was so calm that the crew stopped the ship, shortly after lunch, and deployed the Zodiacs – allowing those who might be interested in a swim to motor away a safe distance from the ship and swim in the open ocean.  What a treat!

For dinner I gathered several other Dartmouth alumni – I discovered six alums from undergraduate classes from ’65 through ’86, and graduate/professional classes from ’86 through ’99.  It always amazes me how I can travel the world and run into Dartmouth people everywhere!
