KEN REI

The bulk carrier sailed the Kanmon Straits between Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki Japan on its way from Kaoshiung Taiwan (Yes, it's a country! Screw the CCP!!!) to Kanda Japan (an industrial suburb of Garden Paradise Kitakyushu) on April 3, 2025.
 
Ken Rei is a fine looking cargo ship and sailed thru the Kanmon Straits on its way from Taiwan to Kanda, just south of Garden Paradise Kitakyushu on a lovely but windy and chilly spring day April 3, 2025.
Bulk Carrier KEN REI Sails the Kanmon Straits

Ken Rei had a majestic presence as it proudly sailed the narrow passage between Kitakyushu (Kyushu Island) and Shimonoseki (Honshu Island) under the Kanmon Bridge. Sailing in the opposite direction was a naval parade of JMSDF vessels and an Italian cruise ship. Ken Rei's crew had a great view, no doubt.

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.

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.
