I'm helping a wonderful couple sail their boat from Baltimore to Ft Lauderdale. We've had a few issues, but thankfully, we've been able to remedy them quickly. We lost the prop upon docking in Charleston, and the main sail ripped while underway. Unfortunately, the main cannot be repaired, so it will reduce our stability, but since we'll be sailing downwind, it's not a dealbreaker. If you want assistance moving your boat from one location to another and want to learn on the passage, give me a shout. https://sailingbritican.com/sailboat-delivery-assistance/ #shorts #boatdelivery #sailboat #learntosail #boattrip #boat #sailingadventure #boating #sailing #britican

In Japan’s longevity hotspots, healthy aging is not reinforced only through healthcare or individual habits. It is woven into the annual rhythm of community life through rituals, festivals, preparation, participation, and shared responsibility across generations. Young and old working alongside one another. This Short reflects a central idea from my ongoing research and forthcoming book, Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan, that a healthy lifespan may be deeply connected to whether the art of community remains practiced. About me: I’m Lowell Sheppard, 71, sailor, author, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. I’m the Founder of the Never Too Late Academy and Special Advisor to the International Forum. Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore aging, place, community, and longevity across Japan.

Day 9 of our Christmas calendar takes you into the first of two guest cabins aboard Vela! 🎄 This bunk bed cabin is perfect for accommodating one or two crew members. While it’s compact, it’s packed with smart storage: 👕 Two cabinets for clothing and personal items (we’re even upgrading one with shelves soon!). 📦 Under-bed storage: Currently home to ropes and sailing gear. 🔧 Under the floorboards: Housing our speed, depth, and sonar transducers—more on that in a future episode. The cabin might seem small but the bunks are wide, making them cozy for crew. And let’s be honest—when you’re out exploring hidden gems and stunning anchorages, no one spends much time indoors anyway! 🌊✨ What do you think of this cozy space? Let us know in the comments! 💬 🎥 See you tomorrow for the next part of our boat tour! 🎵 Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #LifeAtSea
