The Island Called Me Back #japan #boatlife #bluezone #sailingjapan
Welcome to Pacific Solo, where I, Lowell Sheppard, share my sailing adventures and discoveries around Japan. Initially, my goal was to sail across the Pacific solo before turning 70, but that journey is on permanent hold due to unforeseen circumstances. Now, at 70, I’m setting a new course to replicate what I did 25 years ago by bike—sailing the full length of Japan while following the annual Cherry Blossom front. Along the way, I’ll explore Japan’s fascinating culture, its aging population, and what it means to live an energized, active life. Join me as I continue to learn, grow, and share the stories of my journey. So in this video I make three announcments.
Also, check out my sister channel, Never Too Late Academy, for content on personal growth, adventure, and living life to the fullest.https://www.youtube.com/@nevertoolateacademy
Thanks as always to my patrons and sponsors and to @sailingramona for the drone shots.

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.
