Japan’s Worst Heat Wave in 135 Years – A Sailor’s Journey

Navigating Dangerous Waters. Japan`s Inland Sea.
As a rookie sailor, going through the Kurushima Strait and under the famed Kurushima Kaikyou Bridge (reportedly the world`s first triple-span bridge in the world) had my attention for several days. I knew I had to pass under the bridge at slack tide to avoid the whirlpools that form. As it turne...

Sailing with Dolphins in Japan`s Busy Shipping Lanes
This Video is dedicated to my cousin, Mark Robert Crawford who made his final passage a few hours before I passed through the Kanmon straits from the Japan Sea to the Seto Inland sea. It is said that “sailors write their plans in sand at low tide.” I have certainly discovered that to be true. Y...

Finally, inspection day arrived, but in doing routine maintenance, while Wahine is out of the water, I discovered a two-year-old repair needed to be done again, and then one thing led to another.

Summer Fun: Usually I am ON the water not IN it! haha! (solo sailor)
I`m having summer fun while waiting for my boat to be inspected. Part of that fun is being in the water rather than ON the water. Also, I have been looking to the sky to increase my understanding of clouds and what they convey to a sailor. On my way to my hometown, I stopped for a few hours in Hi...
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...
