The Island of Dreams – Where My Sailing Journey Began #sailinglife #tokyobay #itsnevertoolate
Wahine’s home when I found her was at Yumenoshima Marina — Tokyo’s “Island of Dreams.” Built on landfill, transformed into a marina and park, it was here that my journey with Wahine truly began. On this day off from writing, meetings, and even backgammon with my grandson, I return to Yumenoshima — ...
Cruising Coastal Waters summer sailing fun
On day three of my blue-water adventure, we left Oshima Island and set sail for Hota, which is on the Eastern side of Tokyo Bay and Western coast of the Chiba Peninsula.

The Furler Saga (Part 2) wahine
I returned from Nagoya with the furler and my tail between my legs: no luck fixing it. I did, however, manage to clean out some of the insides and get it re-installed. And as usual, there is a silver lining! (You'll just have to watch to find out!) Also, my mast climber arrived in the mail. I...
Pacific Solo — Season 02, Episode 02: Into April and the Furler Saga (Part 1)
Well, this may very well be the end of my journey with Wahine. An issue with the furler has me up against a wall, and I got to a pretty low point. Perhaps there is a silver lining? Support Pacific Solo on Patreon here: Purchase Pacific Solo swag here: Thank you to the Keel Club Founding Memb...

License Fail? I Got My Boat License In Japan!
After some knocks, I finally have some good news! Hopefully this is the start of getting back onto the water. Finally, on my third attempt for my Class 1 License, I made it! Now, I can legally leave Japan's shores as the Class-One License allows me to go beyond 5 nautical miles off shore. What...
