Stepping out for a coffee

Hi Joe.
Yeah I guess it is a little confusing.
I am based in Shiogama city in Miyagi prefecture Japan.
That is about 375 kilo north of Tokyo on the North East coast.
You can check these places out on Google map if you have a mind to.
My boat is in Toguhama Miyagi.
I sail in Matsushima bay in Miyagi.
And the video is of a trip east to Oshiko peninsula.
The coffee shop is in a little village called Hamaguru.
This whole area is deep inlets with villages or towns at the head of the bays.
Industry is fishing and aquaculture (oysters, scallops seaweed etc.)
When the 2011 tsunami hit almost every place for 300 kilo up the coats was wiped out.
Now they are empty lots of overgrown land.
A very few people have returned and rebuilt (the stubborn oldies), but in general people have moved to higher ground and abandoned the villages. This village probably had twenty houses, now there are two.
However, all of the port facilities are there. There is a little port like this one every 20 miles up the coast.
