Cruising Japan! One more year of training with no port to call home! ahhhh

As I mentioned in a previous episode I have had to postpone my solo crossing of the North Pacific for one year because the boat and I are not ready. I was looking into the option of sailing across with a Crew and spend the next year training on the West Coast of Canada and sail back to Japan Solo.

But alas, the hoops I had to jump through became too difficult given the short timeline. ( June is the recommended month to leave Japan waters for North American)

So it’s decided I will continue my training here in Japanese Waters and will spend the next several months exploring Japan’s waters and a myriad of islands, beaches, and harbors.

Join me. Sometimes I will have a crew and other times will be solo. So if you are a fellow Never Too Late`r or just simply want to see what sailing is like in Japan please subscribe and press the notification button. It helps
