Hi all,
I'm currently contemplating a February trip to the above destinations and have a few questions I hope somebody out there can help with.
Firstly, regarding Choshi, are the gulls there generally close (as in a UK harbour) or distant (as they unfortunately tend to be here in Taiwan)? I'd be disappointed if I didn't come away with a camera full of decent photographs were I actually spend a few days there! Also, are the areas the gulls prefer easy to find?
Secondly, regarding the ferry, is this time of year suitable for albatrosses or too early? I read 'late winter' for this route, which to me at least does mean February. Also, how often does this ferry get cancelled due to rough seas at this season? Inter-island ferries here (despite being scheduled to sail daily) are more likely to not sail than actually sail in February, though the vessels involved are rather small.
Hope someone out there is in a position to answer!
Steve
