Sailing with the Hydrovane -- Pacific Solo -- Season 2, Episode 6
Last episode, I installed Skylie 2, my new hydrovane and permanent “crew member.” I have had a chance to take Wahine out a few more times, and I have to say, the hydrovane is fantastic! I’m looking forward to even more time with Skylie 2 (named after my beloved Border Collie, Skylie), and more time on the boat with friends and family.

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.
