Morning chores on the boat never end — especially after a good downpour! 🌧 Today in Buren Bay, it’s me, a bucket, and about 30 liters of rainwater in the dinghy. If only I had my jerry cans… A salty little reminder that even solo, you can still show up and get it done — one scoop at a time. 🎥 Shot in Buren Bay, my floating home base in Japan’s remote Amami Islands. 📚 Curious about the project I'm working on?

I’ve had severe allergic reactions to bee stings—so when I heard fake dragonflies might ward them off, I ordered six off Amazon. They’re going up on my sailboat as a kind of quirky defense system. Should I name them? And… what eats dragonflies anyway? 🐝🛥️🐉 This little moment is part of life aboard as I travel Japan’s remote coastlines and explore what it means to live well and live long. From fear of bee stings to going beyond Blue Zones—it’s all part of the adventure. 🎥 Filmed aboard Wahine in one of Japan’s hidden harbors. 📚 Part of the Journey Beyond the Blue Zone series. Comment below if you’ve ever used natural (or unnatural) pest deterrents—or if you have great names for dragonfly bodyguards!

Could they be the land equivalent of JetSkiers? :) in terms of sound pollution? Three more days and I am back on board Wahine. check out more videos at @pacificsolo.com
