Operating a 74-foot vessel might seem daunting, but my decades as a training captain on massive commercial ships have prepared me for this. I've successfully guided new deck officers through the intricacies of docking and assisted seasoned captains in mastering new vessels. If you harbor any reservations about commanding this trawler, understand this: I possess the exact knowledge required, and I can impart it effectively. A short session on the Elizabeth Ruth, and you will be operating with confidence. #TrawlerYacht #BlueWaterYacht #YachtRefit #YachtLens #LuxuryYachtTour #ElizabethRuth #RobinsonModifiedMonk #YachtMaintenance #UnitedYachtSales #ExpeditionYacht #OwnerQandA #BoatWalkthrough #CustomYacht #PacificNorthwestYachts #boat #trawler #captain #maritime #boatinglessons #yachting #boattraining #vessel

I’ve been away from the boat for five weeks over the holiday season, and before heading back to life afloat, I made a small pilgrimage into the Japanese Alps. This journey brought me to Saku, in Nagano—one of Japan’s well-known longevity hotspots—to visit Pin Koro Jizo, a beloved shrine where people come to pray for a long, healthy life. I’m joined by my friend Koji—also known as Ninja Koji—a real-life ninja, lifelong book lover, owner of one of the coolest vintage Japanese houses I know, and (full disclosure) my literary agent. 👉 Be sure to check out Koji’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@shinkoma_entertainment_2914/videos Sometimes before we move forward, it helps to stop, reflect, and make a quiet visit like this one #PinKoroJizo,, #SakuCity, #NaganoPrefecture, #JapaneseShrines, #LongevityJapan, #HealthyAging, #NeverTooLate, #SlowTravelJapan, #JapaneseCulture, #Pilgrimage, #Jizo, #JapanTravel, #PacificSolo

This video was taken by the skipper of a 54ft yacht in the Caribbean. The situation was that the skipper questioned the legendary speed under sail of the Shearwater 45, so Steve Hunt, the owner of "Maggy May", challenged him to a race to the next island and gave him a head-start of nearly 40 minutes. This was taken as the 45 sailed past him. It continued through his lee and arrived in port an hour ahead of the 54. See more info at http://dixdesign.com/sh45.htm .
