This Person Found a Wind Shadow at the Eye of the Storm! #solosailor #typhoon14

With the approach of Typhoon 14, Wahine and I sought shelter in Onomichi, a famous cycling town where we hoped to find a micro-climate where we would be protected from the severity of the storm despite the eye wall passing near. It was remarkable what a difference a few meters can make in a storm. Also, I was reminded that Typhoons in the end are unpredictable.

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.
