Few British pre-war cruiser-racers have had so much love and care lavished on them, but this striking 50 ft classic yawl - Fred Shepherd’s last design - thoroughly deserves it. AMOKURA's story is remarkable and her ability legendary. Almost as if she demanded it, her few owners over more than 80 years have always let her off the leash as a long-distance cruiser and passage racer; in present ownership she has completed the past two Fastnet Races and cruised extensively. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/775/AMOKURA Through the lessons learned during voyages that offer time to think, AMOKURA has been refined and improved to the extent that she is most probably a more able yacht than when launched by Moody's in 1939. Yet she is doing exactly what her designer and commissioning owner envisaged. Down below that is achieved with rather more comfort than the 1930s sailor accepted, but with no loss of charm and period feel. AMOKURA is very special, and, of course, she doesn't need to be sailed far away to be enjoyed and to give back.

The lion fish are a fascinating fish to witness in their natural habitat. In Indonesia, where they are a native fish species, you can find them slowing drifting over the reef as they hunt for tiny reef fish.

There’s a typhoon in the forecast—at least according to one of the weather models—and it could sweep right over Amami next week. So it’s prep time aboard Wahine. Today I’m taking down the jib sail, adding fenders, securing gear, and making sure both inside and out are storm-ready. It’s a strangely calm and beautiful morning. Perfect weather… for storm prep. ANd a pleasant break from writing. Living on a boat along in a Bay by a remote Japanese village means you don’t just watch the forecast, you respect it. Join me for a short glimpse into the practical side of slow living at sea: a mix of solitude, muscle memory, and quiet readiness. 🎥 Shot on location in Buren Village, Amami Oshima 🌸 Part of the Never Too Late Longevity Project 📚 From the author of A Journey Beyond the Blue Zone #TyphoonPrep #BoatLifeJapan #AmamiOshima #SailingJapan #RemoteIslandLife #NeverTooLate #PacificSolo #SoloSailing #StormReady #CalmBeforeTheStorm #JibSail #TyphoonSeason #JapanWeather #LifeAtSea #BlueZoneJapan #boatlife #japan #solosailor
