My quest to solo-sail the North Pacific: Pacific Solo
Hi, I’m Lowell. My journey is just beginning. I have a lot to learn, and it’s scary, but my goal is to traverse the North Pacific by myself on my sailboat SV Wahine. Most importantly, my target along the way is to pass through what I am calling “Nemo North” — the farthest point from land in the North Pacific in any direction. This happens to be in the middle of the Pacific Garbage Patch, and while I’m there, I expect it will be a moment of deep contemplation about how humans have impacted the planet, what is beneath me and what is above, and what I can discover in that time of solitude.
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.
