Traditional Japanese Yakatabune Boat

Location: Kishimachi Promenade, Minatomirai, Yokohama Timestamp: 20:18 on July 23, 2011

Although captured more than a decade ago in 2011, I still find joy in the elegant pleasure boats navigating the intricate canals that flow into the Port of Yokohama on Tokyo Bay.

Despite the grainy texture and abundant noise in the photograph, the harmonious color palette continues to be a visual delight to my eyes.

Historical records harking back to the Heian Period (794 to 1185) mention the existence of pleasure boats, a domain primarily enjoyed by nobles who reveled in poetry, music, and dining along rivers and ponds.

The Edo Period (1603 to 1867) witnessed an expansion in the use of pleasure boats catering to samurai, their families, and aristocrats. It was during this era that the iconic design of roofed boats adorned with red lanterns gained popularity.

In the present day, yakatabune boats (屋形船) are a source of enjoyment for both locals and international tourists. Springtime offers enchanting cruises along rivers adorned with cherry blossoms, while summer invites you to cruise into the Port of Yokohama for exclusive, panoramic views of vibrant fireworks and the Yokohama skyline.

While these boat cruises departing from the Minatomirai waterfront district in Yokohama are not overly expensive, they may not be the first choice for budget-conscious travelers. A two-hour lunch cruise is priced at 6,500 yen, and a three-hour dinner cruise costs 14,500 yen.

The joys of teaching Mariners

It's like being on a ship! An early morning wakeup call, a refreshing bath, donning freshly ironed clothes and voila, ready for navigation through the streets of South Mumbai, on passage to the Naval Maritime Academy , deep within the wooded lands of the defence area at the farthest southern tip of Mumbai.

Arriving at the gates of NAMAC one gets welcomed into a pristine estate located in silvan surroundings, much like a Gurukul of old, outfitted with modern equipment and training aids.

Amidst cheerful good morning greetings of staff and students alike one enters the faculty room. The banter here reminds one of times spent on ships with colleagues amidst laughter, the joy of everyday work, and a general bonhomie.

It's 0815 then and off we go to our classrooms to get things ready for our students; a motley set of boys and girls, wanna be sailors, also men and women already professional seafarers. Some come for new learning others for refreshers.

Always a joy to meet fellow sailors; such fun to be able to transfer one's knowledge and know how to young and old alike. A most satisfying job this; teaching at NAMAC. giving back to the community. More a rendering of service than a business venture! And therein lies the joy, the feeling that one is part of an intuition, one that is steeped in welfare as opposed to a mere institute dishing out only information!

The greatest joy lies in the learning we gain from teaching and that smile of happiness on the faces of students as they successfully pass out of the gates of NAMAC with lasting memories.

My whole high school went on a Disney cruise as a field trip. The Disney ride makers had made large scale versions of Disney boat rides made for the cruises to go on. Needless to say it was disastrous when the cruise full of 3000+ high school age kids was sent through the scaled up version of Splash Mountain. Also, every room on the cruise was normal except for mine, which was just the bathroom from saw 1.
