Prepping for the ultimate 2025 challenge! 🚤🌸 After 5 incredible years cruising Japan on my Gibsea 402, I’m gearing up for Chasing the Cherry Blossom 2, a journey to sail the length of Japan during Sakura Season—25 years after doing it by bicycle. 🗾 This haulout in Okinawa is to ready my boat (and myself) for the adventure of a lifetime as I celebrate turning 70! 💪⛵ Follow along for every step of this epic odyssey! 🌊 This is day 11 and 12 of the haul out. I actually splashed on day 8, but on the next day, I discovered a problem, and so tomorrow I have to haul out again. Are you a `never-too-later` like me?

Flamingo dance craze taking over the cruise! So many pink feathers, it's like a flock landed on deck. This dance is seriously infectious, everyone's flapping along. From grandmas to little kids, even the crew got in on the action. Sun, smiles, and some seriously silly moves. Best vacation memory ever! The whole ship was grooving. Catch the fever and join the flamingo fun! #dance #travel #status
