Ferry to Kitakyushu
Kazuko drove us to the Matsuyama ferry terminal Monday morning and helped Rick buy our tickets for the 7:50 a.m. ferry, about $78 apiece including bikes. The ticket seller used an abacus to add up the total.

We had been told we'd need to have the bikes in bags
for the ferry. We removed the front wheels and tied them to the frame to
make the bike length a little shorter. We used our Bike Jams, nylon covers
that fit over the bikes, only we put them upside down under the bikes so
they formed a sack, with only the seat protruding from the top. We secured
the bikes to a stair railing in the entryway of the ferry.
It was raining when we set sail, and the weather map showed a
typhoon to the south. But the forecast for Kyushu was just cloudy, and
it wasn't raining when we arrived in Kitakyushu.
