How Much Does Sailing in Japan Cost? AND Is My New Dyneema Rigging A Disaster?

Today I answer viewer's questions as to the Costs of Cruising in Japan.
And a question on dyneema rigging creep issue.

Regards cost of cruising in Japan:
These are my own personal take on the costs, based on actually living, cruising and doing work on other peoples sailboats, here in Japan.
Like the majority of cruisers coming in to Japan, I don't have the advantage of being fluent in speaking or reading Japanese.

Dyneema Creep:
The Dyneema creep issue is fairly complex, and involves temperature and working loads etc. What I have answered is just the basic common sense part of the question.
I could go on in great length and detail about, heat treatment in fibre versus braided versus type of dyneema, end usage and the type of boat you have, actual rope size versus practical sizes, costs etc.
I feel it would be like talking about anchors and anchoring (synthetic versus s/s) . In short nothing but divisive, a bit of a windup and pointless.
So kept it very simple, with three points to keep in mind.
1/ Use the correct Dyneema
2/ The diamater of your Dyneema
3/ How good/tight your splice is
But most importantly, I had the help and advice from Peter Greig a professional Synthetic Rigger.
