May 26, 2025 by Pacific Solo | Language: EN Play Time: 00:16:47 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
After four years and 80+ ports, and a failed attempt to realize a dream to cross the pacific Solo before I am 70, I’m charting a new course, for myself, my boat and this channel.
In this update, I reveal three big announcements: the future of my sailboat, my creative work, and this growing channel.
Plus, a bonus film you won’t want to miss: Obachan – Granny of the Fields: She is in part the inspiration for my next phase. You can see more award winning films and Mackenzie’s work at https://www.mackshepp.com/
Let me know: should I rename the channel?
Thanks to @SailingRamona for the drone footage.

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.
