Welcome to Pacific Solo, where I, Lowell Sheppard, share my sailing adventures and discoveries around Japan. Initially, my goal was to sail across the Pacific solo before turning 70, but that journey is on permanent hold due to unforeseen circumstances. Now, at 70, I’m setting a new course to replicate what I did 25 years ago by bike—sailing the full length of Japan while following the annual Cherry Blossom front. Along the way, I’ll explore Japan’s fascinating culture, its aging population, and what it means to live an energized, active life. Join me as I continue to learn, grow, and share the stories of my journey. So in this video I make three announcments.


Also, check out my sister channel, Never Too Late Academy, for content on personal growth, adventure, and living life to the fullest.https://www.youtube.com/@nevertoolateacademy

Thanks as always to my patrons and sponsors and to @sailingramona for the drone shots.
