Reunited with my Mom after 2 years *Emotional* (solo sailor)
I was gutted when I could not set sail after my JCI inspection on August 26th because of a potential Keel problem.

Typhoon # 9. This is not a drill. (solo sailing oita japan )
It looked like Typhoon # 9 would be a direct hit. So after a quick dash across Kyushu to visit Kumamoto City and have lunch with friends, I returned to Wahine to prepare her. Also, I decided to have a 5th covid test. I was in for a surprise! If like me you want to be a Never-Too-Later check out:...

Dockside Rescue ( solo sailing )
Warning: this not the happiest of videos. One morning, following a gale the night before, I discovered a Grey Heron entangled in my backstay. Another Heron, likely its partner, watched from the treetops across the cove and sometimes circled overhead watching our rescue operation. Herons are cheri...
