A Week with Chiharu (91) | Day 3: A New Captain
This was a special day. It started out with Radio Taiso again early morning then we rowed out to Wahine.
It was only the second time I'd sailed with 91-year-old Chiharu.
The first was back in April, when I owned and skippered Wahine. One of my favourite memories from that day was watching Chiharu at the helm. She absolutely loved it.
Today was different.
Wahine now belongs to her son, Mitsu, who plans to sail her from Japan to Mexico next year as part of his turtle research.
Today was his first time skippering Wahine. He is an experienced sailor, but today his first taking responsibility for Wahine
I came along as crew while Mitsu handled every aspect of the boat himself. It was a training sail and a pleasure to watch.
Chirau was back at the helm again, smiling just as she had a few months earlier.
By evening, we were back at Mitsu's house overlooking Buren Bay, where mother and son picked up their instruments and sang together once again.
Some moments stay with you long after the day is over.
This was one of them.
Tomorrow... Day 4.
A Week with Chiharu is a seven-day glimpse into the life of 91-year-old Chiharu as she spends time with her son Mitsu and me in Buren Bay, Japan. Through ordinary moments—sharing meals, singing, sailing, walking, and simply enjoying each day's adventures—I'm exploring what everyday life can teach us about aging well, community, and the art of growing older.
