6 Things I Wish I Knew Before Buying a Boat #BoatingLife #Buyingaboat #LearnToBoat
Dreaming of owning a boat? Before you even buy one, there are six things I wish I had practiced or studied more. These are skills and habits that would have eased my anxiety, sped up my learning curve, and made the first days onboard far smoother. The best part? You don’t need a boat yet to start doing them—and they can actually be fun.
From learning the language of sailing, to studying weather and engines, to the number one tip—practicing knots—these are simple but powerful ways to prepare yourself for life on the water.
This isn’t a “how-to” video. It’s more of a “wish I had” video—straight, no-frills, and from experience.

Yamanashi is one of the 13 prefectures I am visiting this autumn on my Top Ten and Bottom Three journey, guided by my True Longevity Index (TLI)™. The TLI tells me where to go. Once I arrive, I read, watch, listen and follow the clues. Here, one of those clues is water. Yamanashi treasures the soft,...
Shizuoka Keeps Surprising Me #longevity #japan #healthylifestyle

Why I’m questioning Okinawa’s longevity / Top Ten or Bottom Three? #japan
Leg One of my True Longevity Index™ journey ends in Okinawa. I came looking at what Okinawa still does well: moai, social connection and the Art of Community. Then, as I was leaving, I looked down. Cars. Traffic. One monorail. Here’s the paradox: people in crowded Tokyo walk more than people in ...
Small Population. Big Numbers! Is it something in the Water?
Small population. Big numbers. And an intriguing question: **is there a connection?** My True Longevity Index™ brought me to Kagoshima Prefecture, and then the data led me further—to remote Isen Town on the island of Tokunoshima. Here, I found an unusually high concentration of centenarians, one o...
