Epic Japan Sailing Adventure: From Cherry Blossoms to Granite Cliffs by boat and bicycle
August 24, 2024 by Pacific Solo | Language: EN Play Time: 00:08:56 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this video, I share a major update with you all. After years of incredible adventures and challenges—from cycling across Japan to rediscovering my love for sailing—I’ve set my sights on a new goal: sailing the length of Japan during Cherry Blossom season and then likely completely circling Japan by boat! I have already done it by bicycle, and I could well be the first person to follow the Cherry Blossoms, the length of Japan, by bike and boat.
This journey will take me to my final unexplored prefecture, Shimane, and allow me to see the coastal spots I’ve always dreamed of and, in many cases, where I have already cycled. I`m particularly looking forward to sailing past the towering granite cliffs where the Japanese Alps spill into the Sea and where, on an abandoned road, I discovered the story of an Englishman who is considered the father of mountaineering in Japan.
However, there’s a twist—my current boat, Wahine, is up for sale. Join me as I prepare for this exciting new adventure on Wahine or a new vessel. Thanks for being part of the Pacific Solo community—stay tuned for more updates!

Pacific Solo
Hi, I`m Lowell, a 67-year-old rookie sailor, and a never-too-later! I preparing myself for the biggest challenge of my life: a solo journey across the North Pacific. I am a Canadian living in Japan, and in 2019, I purchased Wahine, a 1988 Gib Sea 402. I moved on board while she was moored in Tokyo. In March 2021, I terminated my contract with the Marina and have been cruising Japan full time since gaining valuable experience all the while working remotely from the boat. Wahine is my home, my studio, and my lab. Join me on my learning voyage around Japan, trying to prepare myself for Pacific Solo. If you want to see where I am please go to my website and click on the Where`s Wahine Button at https://www.pacificsolo.com Also, if you are a fellow never-too-later check out www.nevertoolateacademy.com PSThe History Channel asked if they follow me into various remote ports for a new series called Dare to Dream. The pilot airs in Japan July 24th at 8pm.
