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 10 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?

So many are talking to us about how to become eco-friendly sailors. In this video Mahina gives you a great place to start and some other small tips. =========================== TRANSCRIPT Now this is a question for all of the sailors out there all of the charterers out there who want to be eco-friendly but want to know where do we start. My answer is, cleaning products! Sometimes these are provided by charter companies sometimes they're not. And it's a great way to take control and start being eco-friendly through the cleaning products that you're buying. I really like NatureSafe Marine. They're made here in Croatia by actually a friend of ours. They provide products like dishwashing soap, all-purpose spray, even hand soap. Because of course the runoff of all of those goes straight into the sea. And being able to use non-toxic products that are not going to pollute the Adriatic Sea any further, is my place for where you can start to be eco-friendly. =========================== Looking to sail in Croatia?
