5/21 釣果

The result of fishing on a World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development.

It was almost as expected. To my delight, the flounder and バイ貝 (Japanese ivory shell) were unexpected.

島根、鳥取

The thirty-eighth prefecture is Shimane, and the thirty-ninth is Tottori. This year is the anniversary of my father's 88 years old (in the traditional Japanese way of count) and my 25 years of continuous service in my company. 

Luckily the two events happened in the same year. My company union gives its members, who have been the union member for 25 years, a gift of 100,000 yen for a trip, and I accept that, of course.

This three-day/two-night trip is a gift to my father from his sons.

The first day's activity was almost only a travelling.

We visited Izumo Taisha Shrine and the Adachi Museum of Art on the second day.

We, brothers, didn't donate nor pray, but my father did as people usually do.

The Adachi Museum of Art was fantastic.

On the last day, we went to see the Tottori sand dunes.

(Mr Grammarly, I totally agree with you that 'sand' is superfluous.)

5/6 釣果

The result of fishing on an International No Diet Day.

Somewhat it was unusual. Usually, I can catch horse mackerel many, at least over ten. And also, usually, my boat is swept offshore in the morning, but it was swept ashore today. For that reason, I couldn't place my boat as my wants.

I tried to fish scorpionfish at other places, but I caught these scorpionfishes nowhere else but the usual place.

5/3 釣果

 The result of fishing on a Constitution Memorial Day.

I was supposed to be on the sea before sunrise, but I was late. So, I caught only three horse mackerels as above. Moreover, it happened several times that hooked fish came off. It was strange because I used the usual device. What's wrong with it?

I caught a big greenling! I didn't recognise it as a greenling when it came up from the sea because the colour was too black.
