Ships of Kanmon Strait

Reefer Madness!!!???!!!  The refrigerated cargo ship PACIFIC MAGNOLIA sailed coolly through the Kanmon Straits between the scorching cities of Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki Japan. No animals or pretend musicians were harmed in the photographing or filming of this vessel. PACIFIC MAGNOLIA - Reefer in the Kanmon Straits of Japan Despite the heat, there was a nice sea breeze and the buoys were bobbing and plants were swaying when the photos were taken and the video was shot.
