2023サイクリング、第二弾　　2023 Cycling, Part 2

先日14日のティム＆ティナ夫妻との上下町でのサイクリングに続いて、昨日18日は佐木島一周の一人サイクリングを楽しみました。

前日と異なり、曇り模様でしたが、気温が高くなく、ミカンの花の甘い香りが充満する島でした。サイクリング途中でタヌキも歓迎？してくれました。

行程は家から電動アシスト小型自転車を車に積んで、15分で新浜埠頭到着。そこから小型高速船で、佐木島の須ノ上港まで約30分。佐木島一周は11キロで、昼食をはさんでゆっくりと2時間弱。

Following my recent cycling trip to Joge-cho with Tim and Tina on the 14th, I enjoyed an independent cycling trip around Sakijima yesterday on the 18th.

Unlike the previous day, it was cloudy, but not too hot yesterday, and the island was filled with the sweet scent of tangerine flowers. During cycling, I was welcomed by a raccoon dog.

Itinerary was as follows. It took 15 minutes from the house to the Shinhama Pier with a small electric-assist bicycle in the car. From there, it was a 30-minute ride on a small high-speed boat to Sunoue Port on Sakijima. The round trip around Sakishima is 11 km and it was less than 2 hours with lunch on the way.
