Hi! I’m continuing, separate from Season 2, the Pacific Solo Captain’s Log, where I will record and upload simple videos about what I am learning.
This week I have three tips for those who are thinking of launching their own Kickstarter Campaign. I’ve just finished my campaign on the platform, and it was a steep learning curve — as is almost everything about Pacific Solo and the last twelve months! Oh and i made a slight mistake on my handwritten notes I showed regarding the breakdown of 5 dollar backers. In fact there were 11 but the second reference to 5 dollar should have said 1 dollar. Despite asking many people to sponsor 1 dollar, most chose higher amounts and only four chose one dollar. You can tell I am a tad confused when reading my own notes lol
Please stay tuned for the next Season 2 episode, which is is coming next week, where I am preparing for my first multi-day voyage along the Japanese Coast.

Shizuoka Keeps Surprising Me #longevity #japan #healthylifestyle
I’m on Leg Two of my journey through Japan’s Top Ten and Bottom Three longevity prefectures, and Shizuoka keeps giving me reasons to stop. One place stands out for women’s healthy longevity, another calls itself Japan’s healthiest city, another has remarkably low cancer mortality, and here in the m...
Why Shizuoka Has My Attention
Leg Two begins in Shizuoka. I'm travelling to the Top Ten and Bottom Three prefectures identified by my True Longevity Index™—without revealing which is which until the end of the year. Shizuoka interests me because of its remarkably compressed Red Zone™: the period between healthy, independe...
Why I’m questioning Okinawa’s longevity / Top Ten or Bottom Three? #japan
Leg One of my True Longevity Index™ journey ends in Okinawa. I came looking at what Okinawa still does well: moai, social connection and the Art of Community. Then, as I was leaving, I looked down. Cars. Traffic. One monorail. Here’s the paradox: people in crowded Tokyo walk more than people in ...
Small Population. Big Numbers! Is it something in the Water?
Small population. Big numbers. And an intriguing question: **is there a connection?** My True Longevity Index™ brought me to Kagoshima Prefecture, and then the data led me further—to remote Isen Town on the island of Tokunoshima. Here, I found an unusually high concentration of centenarians, one o...
These Guys are 75 and Sill Climbing Masts!
I’m 71, and today I tried to keep up with three guys older than me. Hajiwa-san, Yamashita-san and Yasuda-san are all 75, already beyond Japan’s average healthy life expectancy. And this wasn’t just hanging around the boat. They rowed half a kilometer offshore, measured and worked on the rigging, ...
