Day 9... and our plans changed once again. 😊 Mechanical problems meant Chiharu and Mitsu stayed an extra day on Kikai Island, so our long-awaited karaoke evening will have to wait just a little longer. But no one seemed disappointed. The day began with Radio Taiso on the beach, followed by beachcombing, exploring caves, taking in magnificent hilltop views, meeting local people, and, of course, singing. One thing I've noticed about Chiharu is that she sings almost everywhere she goes. Walking. Driving. Exploring. She laughs easily, notices everything around her, and embraces each day with genuine curiosity. Tomorrow, if all goes to plan, we'll finally reunite for what will be another first—91-year-old Chiharu's first visit to a karaoke bar, where she'll also hear me attempt my very first Japanese song. About this series A Week with Chiharu follows 91-year-old Chiharu as she spends time with her son Mitsu and me in Amami and Kikai Islands. Through everyday moments—walking, travelling, singing, exploring, and simply enjoying life—I'm observing what Japan can teach us about longevity, community, curiosity, and growing older with enthusiasm. https://www.nevertoolateacademy.com/ #Longevity #JapanSolo #curiosity

The Antigua 58 Pilothouse is spacious, unusual, and packed with features that could make it somebody’s dream cruising boat. It may be a good boat, but the $300,000 price and difficulty financing older yachts could create a serious resale problem.
