波崎海水浴場

波崎海水浴場は、環境省認定の快水浴場100選に選ばれた美しい海水浴場です。
砂浜がすごく広くて、遠浅で水もきれいな海なので人気があります。

駐車場近くに「サンサンパーク」という休憩施設があります。
ここにはトイレや温水シャワー（有料：3分100円）やトイレがあり、外にもシャワーが１つあります。外のは温水じゃないと思います。
飲み物の自動販売機も設置されていて、値段も100円〜120円と普通の値段でした。

「サンサンパーク」の隣が駐車場になっていますが、ここから水際までは結構な距離があります。
荷物運び役のお父さんは大変だと思いますので、必要最低限のものを持ち込むか、みんなで手分けして運んだ方が良いと思います。

サーフィンやボディボードなどのマリンスポーツで訪れる人も多いところですが、サーフィンなどのマリンスポーツエリアと海水浴エリアは分けられているので、お子様連れのご家族でも安心して楽しめます。

Date with Renachan and Ebichan to Futako Tamagawa [2009.08.13]

Futako Tamagawa (二子玉川) is an unofficial term for the area surrounding Futako Tamagawa Station on the Tokyo Den-en-Toshi Line  and Tokyu Oimachi Line  lines in Tokyo, Japan. The name often refers to the Tamagawa and Seta districts of Setagaya Ward, but there is no precise definition. It is colloquially referred to as “Futako” (フタコ) or “Nikotama” (ニコタマ), from an alternate reading of the first three kanji characters in the name.

二子玉川（ふたこたまがわ）は東急田園都市線・大井町線二子玉川駅周辺を中心とした地域の通称。住居表示でいうところの世田谷区玉川・瀬田の一部にあたる。「フタコ」、「ニコタマ」という愛称で呼ばれることがある。

“Enoshima Island” is one of the famous tourist spots in Kanagawa Prefecture that do not so far away from Chigasaki beach.

Enoshima (江の島) is a small island, about 4 km in circumference, at the mouth of the Katase River, which flows into Sagami Bay in Japan. Part of the city of Fujisawa, it is linked to the Katase section of the same city on the mainland by a 600 meter-long bridge. Adjacent to the closest beach to Tokyo and Yokohama, the island and the nearby coast are the hub of a popular resort area.

Benzaiten, the goddess of music and entertainment, is enshrined on the island. The island in its entirety is dedicated to the goddess, who is said to have made it rise from the bottom of the sea in sixth century. Enoshima is the center of Shonan, a resort area along the coast of Sagami Bay known for its scenic beauty.

The island is the scene of the Enoshima Engi, a history of the shrines on Enoshima written by the Japanese Buddhist monk Kokei in 1047 AD.

.

“Southern Beach,” is a section of the beach in Chigasaki inspired by the Southern All Stars a famous pop singing group whose lead vocalist Keisuke Kuwata hails from Chigasaki. The symbol of Southern Beach is Eboshi-iwa, a large hat-shaped rock that is visible from the coast. The coast of Chigasaki is famous for surfboarding and sea bathing. In particular for Japanese surfboarders, Chigasaki is a place that surfboard started in Japan.

Today I go for a date with Moechan, Ebichan, and Renachan to Chiba Prefecture.
I take off from Area 51 at Yoshikawa-Chiba Prefecture, and fly to east of Tokyo area; around and above Katsushika Shibamata area.
Katsushika Shibamata is a very popular downtown because as a home of the famous film star Tora-san, the film star in Otoko wa tsurai yo.

(男はつらいよ, “It’s tough being a man”) is a Japanese film series starring Kiyoshi Atsumi as “Tora-san” (寅さん), a kind-hearted vagabond who is always unlucky in love. Spanning 48 installments (1969–95), it was considered by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the longest movie series in the world.

All of the Tora-san movies had the same basic plot. Tora-san, a traveling salesman, arrives in some remote town planning to peddle his wares to the locals. He meets a local woman, usually a damsel in distress, and tells her that if she is ever in Tokyo to look him up. He then heads back home to Shibamata, Katsushika, Tokyo and drops in unexpectedly on his family who run a traditional sweet shop. Sure enough, the damsel in distress ends up visiting Tora-san in Tokyo, and he falls madly in love with her. However, in his shy efforts to win her heart, he usually ends up inadvertently helping bring her together with an old boyfriend or another man; Tora-san invariably ends up heartbroken at the end of the movie. Each film featured a different leading lady, called a Madonna, and a different region of Japan. (There were also episodes that featured scenes in Arizona and Vienna.) Two films were usually made each year, one for summer and one for New Year release.

Today I flew my dudek synthesis for 0:46:17 at 1945 Feet.

Today strong wind in Nagareyama Flight Area make nobody can fly.

In the morning when the wind is not too strong I try to fly, and in the first flight as I set my harness to a new set, I can not sit into the harness. As the flight is not comfortable I do the landing immediately.

At the second try of launch in the afternoon, the wind and the long grass at the flight area made me slip and I broke my right forefinger.
