Leaving My Sailboat to Write a Book #BoatLife #WritersLife #NeverTooLate
Goodbye, Wahine… for now. I’m heading to mainland Japan for a few weeks to work on the second draft of my book and continue research. Life aboard a sailboat, especially in typhoon season, means constant prep. She’s secured, bug-bombed (yuck), and fl...
Yay! My Portable AC Is Working Again! #boatlife #writerslife #japan
Hi, Lowell here from Pacific Solo and the Never Too Late Academy, aboard my Gib Sea 402 Wahine, moored in Buren Bay on Japan’s Amami Island. With one typhoon heading toward China (safe travels, friends) and another brewing for next week, I’m prepping ...
This 150 Dollar Island Car Just Made Boat Life Easier! #japan #boatlife #travel
Living on a boat in remote Japan has its beauty… and its challenges. I’m moored in a quiet bay, in a remote spot on Amami Island, where the bus comes just a couple of times a day. With typhoon season approaching and writing deadlines too, I needed som...
Its July 6th in Japan. What`s Going on? #japan #islandlife #awareness
What’s happening in Japan right now? Some tourists cancelled trips over a manga doomsday prediction for July 5th. Social media ran with it. But here in Amami, just south of the Tokara Islands, the sea kayaking festival went on, and the village of 29 whe...
Living on a Boat in Japan: Typhoon Coming? #boatlife #japan #solosailor
There’s a typhoon in the forecast—at least according to one of the weather models—and it could sweep right over Amami next week. So it’s prep time aboard Wahine. Today I’m taking down the jib sail, adding fenders, securing gear, and making sure b...

70, Sweaty, and Still in the Game #boatlife #japan #travel
Cardio at 70+? You bet. On the Boat I naturally get upper body workouts, jsut but doing what I have to do. But cardio and leg movements not so much. So, now that my foldable bike is fixed, I’m riding the hills around Buren Bay, with Wahine moored just ...

Enjoying Sunset and Outdoor Cooking Onboard #boatlife #travel #sailingjapan
It’s a hot evening, so supper’s being cooked outside—simple chicken, spinach, and potatoes under the open sky. I’m using the mug my brother gave me from caribou country, where he’s living his dream in a tiny house with his wife Tracy. The heat m...
Before Pacific Solo there was a Bike and.Volcano!
25 years ago, I began an epic 3,000 km bicycle journey the length of Japan—chasing cherry blossoms from south to north. On Day One, I rode 125 km to Sakurajima, one of Japan’s most active volcanoes and a symbol of resilience. I turned 70 recently, and...
Taking Out the Trash: BoatLife in Japan #boatlife #sailingjapan japan #cruisinglife
Taking out the trash isn’t always straightforward—especially when you live on a sailboat, anchored off a remote Japanese hamlet. In this short glimpse, I row ashore to meet the garbage man and navigate the very local—and very specific—rules of Jap...
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. No...
Catching Bee-Repelling Insects for My Boat #SailingSafety #naturehacks #travel
I’ve had severe allergic reactions to bee stings—so when I heard fake dragonflies might ward them off, I ordered six off Amazon. They’re going up on my sailboat as a kind of quirky defense system. Should I name them? And… what eats dragonflies anyw...
Morning Chores on the Water: Bailing 30 Liters of Rainwater! #japan #sailing #travel #boatlife
Morning chores on the boat never end — especially after a good downpour! 🌧 Today in Buren Bay, it’s me, a bucket, and about 30 liters of rainwater in the dinghy. If only I had my jerry cans… A salty little reminder that even solo, you can still s...
Going Ashore: Drenched but Happy. #boatlife #japan #writer
Soaked, smiling, and stepping ashore. I actually like the rain, but later today a gale is going to glow and I have writing to do so I am moving my `writing room` ashore this morning to Mitsu`s house which is near the boat. Life on a sailboat means embrac...
Life on a Boat Means You Gotta Walk When You Can #japan #coastguard #boatlife
I’m off the boat and getting my steps in—aiming for 10K today while I’m on land. When you live on a sailboat, it’s easy to stay confined, and my doctor reminded me: daily walking is non-negotiable. Tonight’s route takes me past one of Japan’s ...
Living Afloat in Japan’s Rainy Season #BoatLife #NeverTooLate #SailingJapan
Rainy season has arrived in Japan, and that means humid days, provisioning missions, and rowing a few hundred meters to shore. Life on a boat, currently in the middles of remote Bay, isn’t glamorous, but it’s rich in rhythm, reflection, and a good w...
My Reset Ritual (No Plumbing Required) #author #sailing #boatlife
Sometimes all it takes is a splash of cold water to reset your mind. In this off-grid moment from the edge of Japan, I share a simple nightly ritual — a recycled PET bottle, a roadside breeze, and a reminder that creativity often flows best when we stop...

We STOP In Muara BRUNEI, Will They LET US IN?! Monkeys AND Water VILLAGES S4:E5
Hey Everyone! Our next stop is about 634 nautical miles away from Singapore, and it's Muara Brunei! A mostly Muslim country that is celebrating Ramadan and were fasting for their religious holiday. Previous cruises were turned away from the port so we wer...
A Peaceful Eveing in a Remote Bay #japan #sailing #boatlife
A peaceful evening in Buren Bay aboard Wahine. After a shower and supper, I take a quiet 360° look around the anchorage—glassy water, Mitsu’s boat, a generous loaned tender, and my inflatable paddleboard. Sometimes, it’s these calm, ordinary moments...
Life afloat in Japan #japan #BoatLife #sailing
Morning from Buren Bay! I just inflated my SUP (with mixed success), and I’m heading ashore for provisions thanks to Mitsu kindly lending me his car. A Canadian sailing couple has arrived nearby—always nice to see new faces out here. It’s a typical d...
