Hi .. . this is not a normal episode. Just wanted to update on my whereabouts. I have made it to Havu Port on the southern tip of Oshima. It was a bit of a miserable day yesterday sailing from Misaki here but I learned a lot facing mild adversity. Have made some adjustments and leaving here within the next hour or so.
My goal is to get blue water experience, and I have a permit good for 30 days that allows me to go beyond 5 nautical miles of shore. I will be a couple hundred or more. I may go as far as Okinawa but not sure. It depends where the wind and waves take me. I have a kind invitation to visit Amami Oshima so would like to visit there.
Anyways, if you are interested you can track my whereabouts by clicking on the Where`s Wahine Button on my home page. www.pacificsolo.com

At 71 was it My Age or the Wind
The typhoon had passed, but its tail was still blowing through Buren Bay. I’m on typhoon watch for my friend Mitsu, Wahine’s new owner, while he is in Mexico preparing for next year’s Turtle Highway Project. Today was my first chance to get out to Wahine, anchored about half a kilometre offshore, t...
How Remote Japan Survives Typhoons Together #japan #typhoon #longevity
I’m not in Okinawa. I’m in “Typhoon Alley” on Amami Oshima—one of Japan’s longevity hotspots and, on and off for the past three years, my longevity laboratory. A typhoon has just passed, and walking through the village afterward reminded me of something I keep encountering in places like this: what...
