Since I was nearby, I made a detour to visit the small piece of land farmed fo...
Day 8... and yes, the week has been extended. 😊
Today, after morning Taiso with a friend and Neighbour, Ken Chan, Chiharu and her son Mitsu flew to nearby Kikai Island. Although Chiharu's father—and Mitsu's grandfather—was born there, remarkably neither of them had ever visited before. Th...
Day 7... but we're not finished yet/
Today began early when a neighbor brought over a special flower for Chiharu to enjoy. After Taiso and before breakfast, we strolled through the tiny village where we are based, just 29 people living in 20 houses, and visited a small local gallery.

Day 6
The day began, as it has throughout the week, with Radio Taiso.
Later we escaped the summer heat with a visit to a nearby waterfall, where we sat sketching, talking, and enjoying the cool mountain water. It was another reminder that slowing down often allows us to notice more.

Using prefectural health and longevity data as my compass, I set out to visit communities where heal...

One question keeps coming back. Early in my journey, my mentor and colleague in the International Academic Forum, Dr James M...
It has been one HELL of a ride for the past 115 days! What was suppose to be a challenge lasting only 100 days was just too much fun to stop. So I kept it going a bit longer.

It was hard to do, but we FINALLY sailed away from our most favorite anchorage. Over to a much more popular anchorage filled with other sailboats, locals, and a party to raise money for the local town. Check it out!

I left the boat behind in Amami and took the big boat to Okinawa ( read Ferry) and it is day 6 of my second journey this year to Japan`s Longevity Hot Spots. I am in Okinawa asking the question of what went wrong. Why is it not a Blue Zone anymore. Among the conversations I have had since I arriv...

When the village where you are moored asks you to wear a sumo belt, you don’t say no! It`s Preparation day in Buren Village for the Respect for the Aged Festival. The sumo ring here is over 100 years old, and Kitamura-san, 80 years young, is still part of keeping the tradition alive. Tomorrow, I’l...
This is a REAL look at what living on a sailboat for a week can look like. Waking up to the gentle rocking of the sea, and going to bed after watching the green flash over the ocean sunset. THIS is a full week of living life on the ocean!

After our major engine fail on our recent Pacific crossing, it's time to address the problems and get things fixed once and for all. We sail to the nearby island of Hiva Oa in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia to meet the local mechanic and see what he can do to get us back up and runni...
We visit Lady Musgrave, a coral atoll at the beginning of the Great Barrier Reef and witness a rare sight: a complete glass-off in the middle of the ocean. We also discuss the sailing community. On the water we are “cruisers” and we face the same challenges and rewards as the cruisers around us. To ...

On the Monday we visit the school and go for a walk meeting a few friendly locals doing their daily jobs. ...

It's time to move on and sail to new destinations but before leaving Curaçao we attend a cruising flea market and sell some treasures from the bilge. Shabby goes in retirement on the island as we pick up our new dinghy and we’re happy as kids on Christmas :)
