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? Check out my latest book journey on longevity and slow travel: ? https://www.nevertoolateacademy.com/p... ? Thanks to my patrons and sponsors who help make these short videos possible. #japan #sailing #travel

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.

Comment below if you've ever used natural (or unnatural) pest deterrents-or if you have great names for dragonfly bodyguards!
