Life in a remote village rarely goes exactly as planned. Today brought two unexpected problems. One was solved by the kindness of an 80-year-old neighbor. The other simply required patience, perseverance, and getting my hands dirty. The longer I live in Japan's remote communities, the more I appreciate that healthy communities are not built on dependence or independence alone. They flourish where community and self-reliance go hand in hand. About Lowell Sheppard, author, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Founder of the Never Too Late Academy, and Special Advisor to the International Academic Forum (IAFOR). Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore longevity, community, purpose, and healthy aging across Japan. #JapanSolo #Community #VillageLife #Japan #HealthyAging #Longevity #SelfReliance #Amami #japan #villagelife #community

Harking from a seminal period in Sparkman & Stephens design history following their 12-Metre INTREPID's America's Cup success - when S&S led the way in split-keel-and-rudder racers and cruiser-racers - ROSE WILDER has the added good fortune of build by one of the finest of Italian yards, Cantiere Sangermani. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/710/ROSE%20WILDER%20(ex%20SANDPIPER) Their artistic attention to detail and quality is evident throughout. As SANDPIPER in long initial ownership by Santa Barbara Yacht Club's Dean Brown, she was a well known and successful participant in some of the classic West Coast USA offshore races. Subsequently she has cruised the Pacific seaboard in the hands of only two owners who, not surprisingly, fell in love with this very attractive, responsive and sure-footed yacht. Modern sail handling systems allow her to be easily sailed single or short handed while bow and stern thrusters allow neat berthing feats. Although very much in commission, ROSE WILDER does require attention to elements of her structure commensurate with her age - reflected in a very reasonable asking price for a very striking 50-footer with superb provenance.

Und dem Wunsch, selbst ein Fixstern zu sein – für all jene, die mehr suchen als „nur eine Yacht“. DOBNER YACHTING entstand aus Leidenschaft für das Meer, aus Erfahrung in der gehobenen Hotellerie, und aus dem tiefen Wunsch heraus, nicht nur Yachten, sondern Momente mit Bedeutung zu gestalten. Als Symbol wählten wir den achtzackigen Stern. Jede seiner Spitzen steht für ein Segment, ja eine eigene Welt: Akademie, Charter, Styling, Service, Sales, Yachtzubehör, Training, Fashion und Events. Unsere Philosophie? Nicht einzelne Dienstleistungen stehen im Mittelpunkt unseres Wirkens, sondern das perfekte Zusammenspiel von allem. Nicht „einfach Yachting“, sondern ein Universum aus Vertrauen, Gestaltung und dem Mut, Träume zu leben. Wir sind da, um das Meer spürbar zu machen. Um Erlebnisse zu schaffen, die berühren. Um Menschen auf ihrer Reise zu begleiten – mit Stil, Verlässlichkeit und echter Hingabe. SAVE THE DATE: ab 8. Juli 2025 online! www.dobner-yachting.com
