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

Ogni giorno ci allontaniamo dall’oceano, ogni giorno ci avviciniamo a casa. Un eterno tiro alla fune tra due estremità che ricoprono un posto importante nel mio cuore. Capirete che le albe e i tramonti allora non saranno più gli stessi. Riempio la boccetta dei ricordi con ogni istante ricco di vita, come i colori di quest’alba, o un momento di profonda complicità e sintonia a bordo di Julia. Una canzone al pianoforte, un avvistamento di qualche cetaceo nero (orche? Chi lo sa), un tramonto assaporato dalla prima fila. Oggi Baleari, domani Sardegna, poi Sicilia, infine casa. Una cosa comunque è certa. La vita potrà portarci ovunque nel mondo, ma da qualche parte dentro di noi i colori e i profumi di questi paesaggi rimarranno per sempre costuditi. Un po’ di Blu d’oceano già c’è 💙
