This morning the sea was very calm. One of the calmest seas I have ever seen. Even when the sea is calm with no waves, you usually see some ripples that can be caused by the weakest winds, but this morning there were few ripples on the surface. In addition, the tide was hugely receded. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, I took pictures of the narrow channel that you have to jump over in order to reach Saruwatari. Seeing the above pictures, you might feel it’s not difficult to jump over the channel as indicated by the red arrows. But when the tide was high and the sea was not calm, it’s not easy. Be careful when you try Saruwatari someday.
（今朝の海はとても穏やかでした。今まで見た中で最も穏やかな海の一つです。通常、波のない穏やかな海であっても、ちょっと微風が吹くだけでさざ波が立ちますが、今朝は水面にさざ波がほとんど立たないのでした。その上、潮が大きく引いていました。この貴重な機会を利用して、猿渡に行くために飛び越えねばならない狭い水路の写真を撮りました。上の写真を見れば、赤い矢印の通りに水路を飛び越えるのは難しくないと感じられるかもしれません。しかし、潮が高く、海が穏やかでないときは、簡単ではないのです。いつか猿渡に挑戦される際は、ぜひご注意ください。）
