It`s Never too Late . . . Prepping for a Sailing Journey
Well, I find myself feeling a bit nervous at the moment … However, I’ve always found that “leveling up” in life requires breaking free of my comfort zone and confronting any trepidation head on. Preparation and readiness are vastly important — and should not be underestimated or undervalued. But at some point, you just have to go out and do it.
And that is where I am today. I’ll be taking Wahine on a multi-day excursion outside Tokyo Bay and into deeper waters. Join me for a look at how I am preparing, despite being a bit nervous about the trip.
After all, you only live once, and I’m going to “do it before I die, dammit.” #dibiddammit #nevertoolate

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.
