After a month away, I'm back in my tiny fishing village on Amami Oshima. Twenty-nine people. This has become my longevity laboratory and a base from which I am exploring one simple question: What helps people remain healthy, independent, and engaged well beyond the average healthy lifespan? The answers rarely come from laboratories. More often, they are found in ordinary people living ordinary lives extraordinarily well. About me: I'm Lowell Sheppard, author, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Founder of the Never Too Late Academy, and Special Advisor to the International Academic Forum (IAFOR). Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore longevity, community, purpose, and healthy aging across Japan.

Boating with a bowsprit or an extended bow pulpit? ⚓ Protecting your rig at a mooring requires the right setup. To prevent expensive friction damage to your bowsprit stays, martingales, and shrouds during heavy weather, consider using a double mooring pennant or a custom-length Y-pennant. Don't forget to install chafe gear at the critical contact points to keep your vessel secure when the wind picks up. #sailing #sailboat #boat #yacht #sailingschool
