This vessel sails under the Flag of Belize.  Never been, but hear Belize is all sorts of awesome.  Next time I'm in the neighborhood, it might be time to bop in and say "Hello" and/or "Hola" and buy some peanuts from Mennonite children.  Friends who have been say the beaches are really nice... Anyway, here is some video of Joyo 1 sailing between Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki.


This cargo ship has been known to frequent the ports of Kawasaki Japan, Sorong Indonesia, and Shanghai West Taiwan (when the CCP collapses Ship Freakazoid thinks China's name will be more accurately renamed West Taiwan).

Oh BUOY!!!  Looks like JOYO 1 could use a little TLC and touch up paint work.  Still a fine looking vessel.  Here is a photograph of it leading a random fleet of ships entering the Kanmon Straits from the west:

FATA MORGANA - Ship sailing in the sky near Kitakyushu Japan

Alright, so check this out!  FATA MORGANA is this wild optical illusion that happens when you're standing on land, looking out over the ocean, and you see a ship that looks like it's floating above the horizon. It's not magic, though—it’s science at work. Fata Morgana - Ship sailing in the sky as viewed from Kitakyushu  Here’s the lowdown. The air above the ocean is usually colder than the air higher up in the atmosphere. But sometimes, you get a temperature inversion where the air closer to the water is actually warmer than the air above it. This temperature difference makes light bend or "refract." So instead of light traveling in a straight line, it curves and can make things appear in places where they shouldn’t be. Kind of like when you’re staring into a glass of water and the spoon looks all weird. It’s the same principle. Fata Morgana - Cargo ship appears to be sailing in the sky Now, when you're on land looking out at the ocean, and you spot a ship tha...
