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.

Emozioni miste. Ci riflettevo oggi. Tutta l’attenzione l’hanno rubata orche e meteo. Nessuno a pensare a cosa ci stessimo lasciando alle spalle. Tutto è partito con grande trepidazione: la prima Gibilterra e il primo splash in Atlantico. Da lì è stato la nostra casa per un bel po’. Ci ha visti attraversare da Cadice alle Canarie. Dalle Canarie a Capo Verde. Da Capo Verde il grande salto ai Caraibi. È sempre stato educato, posato, tranquillo. Tranne agli arrivi. Ecco gli arrivi ce li ha movimentati parecchio, ma glielo concediamo. Abbiamo girato i Caraibi per mesi, aspettando la finestra migliore per rientrare. Così qualche giorno fa abbiamo riattraversato verso l’Europa. Azzorre, per la precisione. Da lì Madeira e domani sarà la volta delle sue porte: Gibilterra. Usciamo dall’Atlantico per rientrare nel Mediterraneo. L’aria di casa si fa più intensa, più nitida. Tornare è emozionante e al tempo stesso un’enigma. Sapremo riadattarci alla terra? Alla città? Un caro amico oggi mi ha scritto che un viaggio non è tale se non prevede un ritorno a casa che ti faccia assaporare con più gusto ogni cosa. Penso sia proprio così. Tornare vorrà dire riprendere contatto con la vita di prima ma da persone nuove, completamente diverse. Che poi tornare… quanto durerà?… qui a bordo ci sono già dei piani…. Ma questa è un’altra storia. Ora siamo qui, a goderci l’ultima notte in queste onde lunghe che ci sollevano e riappoggiano delicatamente. Con loro procediamo decisi con la prua sullo stretto. Domani sarà un’altra giornata di emozioni forti♥️ meglio riposare! Buona notte a tutti e a domani Andrea

Here are 3 reasons why we bought a steel boat; 1. They are strong! We want to travel anywhere including choppy seas and transatlantic crossings without worrying about the fragility of our boat. Steel sailboats have a more rigid structure and are robust so they can better withstand grazes, rubs, and bumps when in the open water. 2. They are stable! Though not as light and fast as fiberglass boats, the weight of steel boats make them more steady in choppy waters and that means reduce chances of seasickness. 3. We are going electric! Since we were buying a used boat, we needed to select a structure that could be alter in order install our electric motor and a steel structure is highly adaptable. Let us know what kind of boat you prefer! There is so much more to come so remember to subscribe to Lahakai! ➡️ WEEKLY VIDEOS EVERY SUNDAY AT 11AM WHO ARE WE? We are Luke, Lori and Leon :) We love the idea of freedom of the open sea, endless horizons, and your home whenever you wish to be. We also want to feel we are impacting the world in a positive way. So we are building the Lahakai – a 34' steel, environmentally friendly, sailboat that we will sail around the world! Or at least that is the goal and you can see our progress along the way. The dream is to do our small part and perhaps inspire others to do the same. A chance to participate in change instead of just talking about it.
