	Sea of Inage
		Inage Yacht Harbour is located in a residencial area with other surrounding bisiness areas. As a result, when overlooking the ground from the water we have a view of skyscrapers, factories and office buildings.
		We are able to watch the construction of TOKYO SKY TREE tower while sailing.			In the surrounding sea of Inage, there are many kind of Aquatic life. Some breeds fish jump out of the water frequently. It's common for fish jump whilst a high speed Tornado sails into their school. As a result, we often have visitors from the sea join our Tornado Crews! The fish can be large. If they hit us at speed it can be painful. Bruises are'nt uncommon!
		Killer fish called "DATSU" A kind of sword fish occasionally jumps too. This fish has a long bill and razor sharp teeth. Some years ago this poor statled fish bit one of our crew !			There is a birds sanctuary by Ramsar Convention beside Inage sea area. So a huge number of sea birds are living. Especially in seasons of biginning and ending of their travel, countless birds are gathering. So we sail Tornado with many birds.
		Some kind of aword fish called "SAYORI"
