This week, Mitsu's 91-year-old mother, Chiharu, has joined us in Buren Bay. It's only the second time I've met her. The first was a few months ago when she came sailing with me aboard *Wahine*. Since then, Mitsu has become Wahine's owner and skipper, while I've remained here continuing my research into what it means to age well in this tiny island community. Day One After the long drive from the airport, we spent the evening sitting outside around an unlit campfire. It was simply too warm to light it. Chiharu picked up her ukulele, we sang together, shared a meal, and enjoyed one another's company. But what stayed with me wasn't the music. It was watching a 91-year-old mother and her adult son enjoying each other's company as genuine friends. I often think about the difference between a linear view of life and a circular one. In a linear world, older people gradually move to the edges. Here, Chiharu was neither being looked after nor simply being included. She was right at the center of the circle. Tomorrow: Radio Taiso at 6:30 a.m. PS Spending a week with Chiharu is something I've genuinely been looking forward to. She still lives independently, and over the coming days, you'll discover why she's become such an inspiration to me, from her music and morning routines to the way she relates to family, friends, and the community around her. These are simply small observations from everyday life. But perhaps it's in ordinary moments like these that we begin to understand why some people age so well.

In today's episode of Sailing into Nirvana, Cyndi throws down the gauntlet for an epic catfishing battle right from the stern of the sailboat. It is one thing to catch them, but it’s another thing entirely to clean and cook them in our tiny galley while out on the water. Watch as we battle it out to see who has the best luck on the lake, followed by a full catch and cook session. There is nothing quite like the taste of fresh catfish sizzled to perfection on the back of a boat!

Watch a 1986 37' Prout Snowgoose Elite upcycled as a solar electric powered, liveaboard cruiser capable of circumnavigating the North American Great Loop. Time for a brand new Lewmar Pro Fish Free-Fall Windlass so Jason & Lezlie can enjoy that night on the hook under the stars.
