Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking 🥳 After months of hard work I’ve successfully passed my command upgrade course and can now call myself a captain. I’m beyond happy and excited for this new chapter in my career! Welcome onboard 🤍 (the audio is only a joke! don’t be grumpy 😂)

Prepping for the ultimate 2025 challenge! 🚤🌸 After 5 incredible years cruising Japan on my Gibsea 402, I’m gearing up for Chasing the Cherry Blossom 2, a journey to sail the length of Japan during Sakura Season—25 years after doing it by bicycle. 🗾 This haulout in Okinawa is to ready my boat (and myself) for the adventure of a lifetime as I celebrate turning 70! 💪⛵ Follow along for every step of this epic odyssey! 🌊 This is day 10 of the haul out. I actually splashed on day 8, but on the next day, I discovered a problem, and so tomorrow I have to haul out again. Are you a `never-too-later` like me?
