We completed Leg One of Voyage, Heading to Tokyo for 70th Birthday and Gerontology Conference First Mate Ian is staying on board and I'm heading to Tokyo for a 70th birthday celebration and to attend a gerontology conference where I'm on the organizing committee. I'm also there to support a keynote speaker who I helped get a book published. Next, I'll be traveling from Kagoshima to Shimane, the only prefecture I haven't been to yet, and I plan to try to visit as many prefectures as possible by boat, on foot, or other means. #Okinawa #Kagoshima #Amami #sailing #Japan #Uken #70thbirthday Birthday
It is hard to think of a #yacht better known beyond the wider #yachting community than GIPSY MOTH IV, and that has continued to inspire generations of young #sailors more than fifty years after Sir Francis Chichester’s epic - then unimaginable - 1966-1967 single-handed, one-stop #voyage around the world with her. http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/596/GIPSY%20MOTH%20IV Rescued in 2004 from 37 years out of her element, and rebuilt and restored in 2005 by her original builders - among the last #wooden #boat works performed by Camper & Nicholsons - GIPSY MOTH IV has subsequently circumnavigated again. For the trust that has owned her since 2010 it is now time to pass on this iconic and beautiful #yacht to a similar body or individual to spread or be inspired by Chichester’s spirit of challenge and #adventure.
